Abstract: Disclosed herein is a support system for temporarily supporting a plant via a fixed structure of vertical poles which support at least one substantially horizontal support cord, the support system comprising: a substantially vertical alignment wire having a top end and a bottom end; a curve greater than 180° in the top end of the vertical alignment wire forming a hanging hook portion configured to be selectively supported by one of the support cords; at least one supporting bracket coupled to one of the substantially horizontal support cords and capturing the alignment wire and the plant; wherein the alignment wire maintains vertical orientation of the plant substantially above the point at which the plane protrudes from the ground.

Abstract: A conveyor belt alignment system for maintaining a maintaining a conveyor belt's alignment under various operating conditions. The conveyor belt alignment system includes a mounting plate for attaching to a structure, a first plate attached to a second plate, wherein the second plate is adjustably attached to the mounting plate, a support frame adjustably positioned upon the first plate, a plurality of first idlers extending from the support frame, and a plurality of second idlers extending from the support frame. The first idlers are positioned on opposite surfaces of the conveyor belt for vertical alignment. The second idlers are positioned on a same side as the conveyor belt for horizontal alignment of the conveyor belt. The second idlers have an upper guide member and a lower guide member, wherein the conveyor belt is positioned between the upper and lower guide members.

Abstract: A fishing line sinker and the method of matching same which is formed from a granulated metal such as tungsten, brass and steel and a castable binder such as glass and injection mold as plastic.

Abstract: A fishing line sinker comprising a streamlined, weighted body that is provided with an angularly inclined line bore that is strategically placed in an ideal position proximate either the center or the upper end of the sinker. This unique design permits the sinker to freely glide over solid bottom debris without snagging. More particularly, the novel design permits the fishing line to lift the upper portion of the sinker over obstructions without any frontal contact of the sinker.

Abstract: A fishing line sinker assemblage and the method of using same including a sinker having a streamlined, weighted body that is provided with a longitudinally extending, central bore. A novel fishing line connector and release means which comprises a yieldably deformable relatively light gauge stainless steel wire securement member is telescopically receivable within the central base of the weight body. The securement member includes a uniquely formed, spiral shaped connector loop that enables the connector and release means to be readily interconnected with a fishing line without cutting the line or removing the hook or swivel. Once the fishing line has been connected to the release means, the legs of the release means are fed through the central bore of the weighted body and one or more of the legs is bent outwardly and then cut. Should the weight become snagged, the weight can be expeditiously released from the release means by exerting an upward pressure on the fishing line.
