Series Spring Grip Type Patents (Class 211/120)
  • Patent number: 4545489
    Abstract: A storage rack for desk top or wall use is disclosed. A plurality of resilient strips define expanded adjacent loops. A contact area is defined between adjacent loops. The loop-forming strips are joined to each other at a common point, and the resulting structure is secured to a flat base which permits the suspension of the rack from a wall or placement upon a horizontal surface. The arrangement of the strips causes a substantial frictional force to be developed between the loops whereby objects can be firmly retained between the loops.

  • Patent number: 4176752
    Abstract: A holder for golf clubs or similar articles is in the form of a continuous strip of flexible but resilient material fastened to a base at spaced points and bent, between those points, to define a series of adjacent loops to grip the articles between them. Each of the loops has a body of resilient foam within it to hold the loops yieldably distended. In one adaptation the holder is mounted on a golf pull cart having wheels foldable to a position where the pull cart can fit in the customary space on a motorized golf cart provided for golf bags. In another form the cart is provided with a pivoted leg for holding the cart in an upright position.

  • Patent number: 4095548
    Abstract: A device for docking and mooring a boat including an elongate member having a series of convolutions formed therein to provide a continuous convoluted surface. When a throwline having an enlarged end portion is engaged with the convoluted surface, contact will be maintained therebetween so long as tension is maintained no matter what directional changes are made between the line and the surface. Several embodiments are disclosed ranging from catching devices alone to such devices which may be released from a remote location.
