    Abstract: An apparatus for supporting automotive tires is provided having a hanger pin adapted to fit through the mount hole of a vehicle wheel. The apparatus is intended to be installed on an automotive hoist at a height approximately the same as that of a tire of a vehicle disposed on the hoist. A worker removing a wheel from the vehicle disposed on the hoist can thus hang the wheel on the apparatus without significantly bending at the waist.

  • Publication number: 20050072262
    Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly for securing a cable sheath of a cable release system. The assembly includes a mounting bracket, preferably of one-piece construction, which is secured to a sheath of a sheathed cable by a retaining ring rather than by sonic welding or by gluing. Securing the bracket to the sheath by the retaining ring permits free rotation of the cable sheath. The retaining ring will not slide up or down accidentally on the sheath. The retaining ring secures the bracket in place, and also permits adjustment up and down to allow for variations in user assembly requirements.
