  • Patent number: 11980802
    Abstract: A wall module for a modular wall having a wall segment with a top, bottom, front, back, first end, and back end. A first component of a connector is preferably and extended tongue and is attached to the second end of a wall segment. The second component of a connector is preferably an extended groove in the first end of the wall segment. Preferably, a channel exists along the length of each wall segment at top. Also, preferably either a ring segment or an elongate member is in such channel and is connected to a leg. And preferably the ring segment or elongate member connects to the corresponding element on an adjacent wall segment when such adjacent wall segment has been connected to the first wall segment.

  • Patent number: 5133274
    Abstract: A kinetic integral steering system is provided for a sailboat of the type having a hull, a cockpit with a pair of side cockpit seats located at the stern, a cabin, a mast, a boom, a rudder with post and a pivotable tiller to control the rudder. The system consists of a pair of crossbars, a mechanism for securing the crossbars between the cockpit seats in a horizontal parallel relationship and a wheel concentrically pivoted between the center of the crossbars. The wheel has a cutout area to receive the tiller to normally keep the tiller in a straight stationary position to allow the sailboat to travel in a straight line through the water. The tiller can be adjustably positioned thereto to compensate for wind and course corrections.
