Abstract: A spinning rod retainer cap fits over the mouth of a tubular rod holder to hold the handle and reel of a spinning rod inserted therein. The retainer cap comprises a cylindrical skirt, and a plurality of resilient fingers extending inwardly from the upper end of the skirt, the tips of the fingers defining an entry opening for the handle into the tubular rod holder. Two retainer posts extend upwardly from the skirt adjacent resilient fingers and are spaced apart to define a notch receiving and accommodating the mounting strut of the reel. The resilient fingers incline toward the rod handle to form the notch into a triangular configuration with a narrow entry slot for receiving and restraining the reel strut of the reel.

Abstract: A plug for sealing holes in concrete to prevent ingress of water and/or vapor, especially after chemical treatment for termites. The plug has a cylindrical, tapered plug body and a sealing lip flaring outwardly at the top end. The plug is fabricated of plastisol with a durometer in the range 75-80, and includes a mold release (polypropylene clylo) to aid in insertion and a fungicide (10,10,-oxybisthenoxarsine) to prevent growth of mold and algae which compromise the seal.

Abstract: A protective boot of flexible, insulating material for use in covering the grounded portions of a circuit interrupter and thereby preventing accidental shorting between the current carrying sections of the circuit interrupter and the grounded portions. The standard, pole-mounted circuit interrupter consists of a number of movable switches used in high voltage applications where shorting can be extremely damaging to the unit. The protective boot of the invention is fabricated in a number of separate parts which correspond to the individual grounded elements of the interrupter. Thus, when in place, the boot will substantially encase the entire grounded portion providing the requisite insulation. At the same time, due to the number of separate parts of the boot, installation on pole-mounted interrupters is easily accomplished, and at the same time, the moving parts of the switches remain unobstructed.
