Abstract: A vertically elongated resilient fender for deployment between a floating vessel and a dock or an adjacent floating vessel, defined by a flat rear wall and a convexly arched front wall integrally joined along their peripheral edges, together enclosing a hollow interior chamber, and having lateral wing flanges extending sidewise from the upper side edges of the rear base panel with securing eyes formed therein to receive a securing line employed to anchor the fender with its wing flanges flexibly bent backward behind the rear base panel. When this fender is cleated near the edge of a boat deck, its backwardly bent wing flanges rest on the deck, suspending the fender directly in front of the sheer line deck edge, firmly retaining the fender against dislodgement.

Abstract: By providing a unitary, molded cycle seat support unit which incorporates a seat member, a forwardly extending nose portion, a support frame interconnecting said seat member with said nose portion, along with a plurality of support ribs extending between and interconnecting the support frame with the seat member, a unique, unitary, cycle seat support unit is achieved capable of flexible movement in the seat member area in response to the demands of the rider. Preferably, the plurality of support ribs employed have varying thickness along their lengths, and are mounted between the support frame and the seat member in a cantilevered arrangement. Also, in the preferred embodiment the seat member is bifurcated with respect to the support frame, forming two independently supported seat portions. In this way, both flexibility and support are achieved in varying amounts depending upon the demands of the area.
