Abstract: A fishing system comprising an insulated housing defining an upper compartment and a lower compartment, wherein the upper compartment of the housing comprises a removable cooling chest, a lid hingedly attached to a top edge of the rear wall and a cutting board attached to an exterior surface of the lid. A plurality of fishing pole holders, which allow fishing pole to be set in different angles for fishing from a seated position. The lower compartment of the housing comprises a plurality of easily accessible tray holders for receiving fishing tackle trays and bait boxes, and a pair of wheels attached to a bottom of the rear wall for easy transportation of the fishing system.

Abstract: Improved self-tightening clamp assemblies are designed for application to the adjacent ends of connected pipe sections in spanning relationship to the joint therebetween. The assemblies include a plurality of clamp bodies configured for placement about the adjacent pipe section ends and carrying a plurality of pipe-engaging teeth; a clamping mechanism is operably coupled with the clamp bodies to cause the teeth to grippingly engage the pipe section ends. The teeth are oriented so as to exert an increasing gripping force on the pipe sections ends in the event of relative separation movement between the ends.

Abstract: A snow-shovel apparatus and method that allows a person to easily remove compacted snow from underneath a vehicle which is stuck and possibly hungup in the snow. Generally, a two bladed shovel-like design wherein the horizontally opposed blades open up from a folded position next to the handle for use. The shovel with blades retracted is pushed through compacted snow underneath the vehicle, is positioned by the user at the beginning of the shovel stroke where the blades are forced open by telescoping the handle, and snow is withdrawn from underneath the vehicle by the exertion of pulling forces along the handle, drawing the blades and captured snow towards the user. The handle is compressed and the blades retracted when not in use. The under vehicle snow-shovel is especially useful to the traveler as an aid in freeing vehicles that are hung up and stuck in the snow.
