Abstract: A device support for the passenger area of a recreational boat having a deck and interior side walls extending up from the deck, including a clamping plate and a support arm. The clamping plate has an open top slot and is secured to the boat side wall so as to define an open top space between the clamping plate and the boat side wall. The support arm has a base plate on one end and an attachment end on the other end, with the base plate removably received in the defined open top space with the support arm one end extending through the open top slot of the clamping plate. The supported device is secured to the attachment end of the support arm, and the support arm is non-linear, with one end extending generally horizontally and the other end extending generally vertically.

Abstract: A portable deck includes a plurality of legs that have a slot on each side face. An adjustable foot is removably attached to each leg to account for uneven ground surfaces on which the portable deck may be place. At least two braces and at least two rails are generally disposed between the plurality of legs to form a generally rectangular frame. The rails and braces are removably disposed in the slots of the legs. A plurality of planks are removably mounted to and supported by the rails to form a top surface of the portable deck. The portable deck provides a firm, level surface on which to place outdoor accessories.

Abstract: An adjustable adapter assembly secures a framework/console to an anchoring fixture. A housing member connected to the framework has two pairs of parallel walls having laterally aligned elongate first slots and laterally aligned elongate second slots, respectively. A clasping mechanism inside the housing member has a shank portion and finger members. First and second threaded orthogonal bores laterally extend through the shank portion, a first threaded bolt extends through the first slots and first threaded bore, and a second threaded bolt extends through the second slots and second threaded bore. Rotating the first and second bolts laterally displaces the clasping mechanism to align the finger members with part of an anchoring fixture on the deck for engagement by the finger members when a locking ring is appropriately displaced. Several assemblies secured to the framework can be adjusted to interconnect with permanently mounted anchoring fixtures in the deck.

Abstract: In order to transport delicate equipment, unstable/hazardous liquids or the like, from one point to another, a cart, or similar form of conveyance, is provided with one or more tables or platforms which are pivotally supported and connected to a relatively large mass. The mass exhibits sufficient inertia that changes in cart orientation, as the cart traverses inclines or the effects of sudden cart accelerations or decelerations are compensated for by the inertial-controlled pivotal movement of the table.

Abstract: A passive stabilizing platform is provided herein. It includes a base and at least two, but preferably three, vertically-upright hollow legs equi-angularly disposed around the the base. When in use the hollow legs contain a column of liquid therein. Tubes interconnect the hollow legs to allow free unimpeded movement of the water therebetween. A spherical float member is disposed in each of the hollow legs, the float member being movable only vertically upwardly or vertically downwardly within the hollow cylindrical leg within which the spherical float member is disposed, the movement being dependent solely, and in conjunction with, the upper surface of water in the hollow cylindrical leg within which the float member is disposed. A support arm is fixed to each float member and extends upwardly therefrom. The platform is supported by the support arms. A joint is secured between the hollow cylindrical legs and the platform.
