Abstract: A pivotally mounted, stowable galley which may include a sink, a stove, storage and work areas, the galley having a "down" storage position flush with a vertical surface to which it is attached and an "up" operational position substantially perpendicular to the vertical surface. The galley includes an elongated but relatively thin (in height) rectangular box which houses a sink, a stove (if desired), and storage areas and a double hinged counter top which serves as the galley box closure or lid. The galley is mountable on a boat gunnel overhang and vertical or horizontal wall surfaces and is intended for use in confined areas where space is at a premium, such as in boats, recreational vehicles and the like. When not in use, the galley pivots downwardly increasing available space and occupying very little space when stowed. When in use, complete galley facilities are provided including a sink, a stove, storage areas and adequate counter space.

Abstract: A knot-tying device for securing a loop in a line or cord between the free end and an intermediate portion of the line comprising a rigid tapered body member having a plurality of apertures, one aperture adjacent the apex of the body and the other substantially in the center of the body. An intermediate portion of the line is looped through the center aperture and secured about each tapered side. The free end of the line is coupled through the apex aperture, thus forming a loop in the line between the free end and the intermediate portion of the line. The divergent body prevents accidental disengagement of the intermediate line portion.
