  • Patent number: 5251800
    Abstract: A camera holder includes a support member which is removably mounted on a belt worn about a consumer's waist, and an attachment block removably connected to a support arm projecting from the support member. The attachment block has a rotatable threaded bolt projecting therefrom which may be threaded in a threaded aperture on the base of a camera to connect the camera to the attachment block. A pocket formed in the support arm removably and slidably receives the attachment block, and has a V-shaped slot formed in the forward wall. A generally V-shaped bearing projecting forwardly from the attachment block corresponds with the V-shaped slot in a wedging action to positively engage the attachment block within the pocket. An adjustable retention strap extends from the base of the support member around a camera mounted on the camera holder and is removably connected to the end of the support arm to securely retain a camera on the camera holder.

    Abstract: A chamois wringer includes a base plate with an arm pivotally connected thereto. A first roller is mounted on the base plate, and a second roller is mounted on the pivotable arm such that pivoting of the arm will bring the second roller into rolling contact with the first roller. A chamois threaded between the rollers will be placed under compression as it is pulled between the rollers, to remove excess water from the chamois.
