Abstract: A dog grooming clamp. The dog grooming clamp has a base member, two parallel and opposing arms extending from either end of the base member, and a third arm with a threaded aperture that is perpendicularly attached to a first arm. A hollow channel extends along the entire length of the base member. A handle is pivotally attached to a second arm and designed to push a pin into the channel when rotated in a first direction, such that when a rope is positioned within the channel, the pin pushes the rope against the channel, locking it in place. The rope can be easily released by rotating the handle in an opposing direction. A threaded rod is inserted within the threaded aperture and is used to easily attach the dog grooming clamp to a pole.

Abstract: An improved hold down vibration dampening assembly suitable for minimizing property damage resulting from high winds or earth tremors, typically resulting from a natural event. A plurality of individual dampening assemblies are provided, typically located one per corner of an associated foundation structure. Each of the assemblies most broadly includes a heavy gauge steel frame, mounting at an intersection between a vertically extending wall stud and a horizontally extending wall base, and within which is supported a heavy duty die spring. A threaded rod extends vertically in seating fashion through the spring, a large hex nut securing a top end of the rod while a bottom portion anchors through the wall base, such that misalignment forces applied from base to the wall are absorbed by the assembly.
