Abstract: A bow rest made of a high-strength, highly durable plastic, such as ABS, is attachable to a tree stand. A first member has a first ratchet surface that engages a second ratchet surface on a second member to permit rotational adjustment of the second member relative to the first member in an orientation to optimally engage and support a bow. The second member has a pair of support arms, one of which has an angled support surface designed to balance the weight of the bow. The support arms of the second member are jacketed with an elastomeric non-slip surface that is preferably made of rubber.

Abstract: An aiming support apparatus dependable from a central portion of a shooting platform is provided. The apparatus includes an arm having a base and an extension selectively extendible from a free end of the arm base. The arm extension includes a socket adapted to receive a shooting staff. The arm base is suspended from a bracket assembly for pivot motion about a pivot axis. The bracket assembly is affixable to the shooting platform so as to substantially underlay a shooter positioned thereon, the socket being swingingly positionable beyond a perimeter of the shooting platform in response to a marksman's torso motions in furtherance of pursuit of a scoped target.

Abstract: A clamping bracket is disclosed for use in suspending an article, such as a Christmas stocking, from a fireplace mantel beam. The bracket comprises a top arm member and a vertical arm member intersecting to form an L-shaped body. A clamping mechanism rotatably attaches into an alternative one of a plurality of sockets within the vertical arm member to adjust the spacing between the clamping mechanism and the top arm member. The clamping mechanism comprises a rotatable pin and a cam member affixed to a remote end of the pin which rotates with the pin member into a clamping engagement with the underside of a fireplace mantel beam. An accessory attachment device is further disclosed removeably attached to an upper surface of the top arm member as a decorative option.

Abstract: A base spacer that is useful for securing a horizontal member to a vertical support with accurate vertical and horizontal position has an extended horizontal surface and at least one deformable finger extending vertically from this horizontal surface. The horizontal surface also has: (a) a pair of oval openings dimensioned to receive securing bolts, wherein the deformable finger extends from the horizontal surface at less that a right angle for a distance sufficient to contact a horizontal member secured by the spacer.

Abstract: An adjustable clamp holder having multiple securing mechanisms for each attachment structure of the clamp body is disclosed. The clamp has utility in fastening together support rods and supporting an apparatus or laboratory equipment. The clamp holder obviates the limited securing capabilities and safety concerns associated with previously known clamping devices.

Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a clamp apparatus designed for attachment to the edge of a planar surface 12 which enables various stanchion items 14 to be attached such as a canopy, signs, umbrellas, displays, lighting and the like. The present invention includes an adjustable clamp assembly 40 for attachment to a planar surface and a stanchion holding member 19 having a stanchion bore 20 passing therethrough for receiving a stanchion 14 that is selectively positioned and locked in place by a cam lever 22. The clamp assembly 40 attachment includes a clamp frame channel 28 in which a pair of threaded retention knobs 24 are held captive in the lower lip of the channel portion. The threaded retention knobs 24 and cinch fingers 27 are the means of clamping the device to the planar surface 12. The head 42 of the cam lever 22 mechanism partially extends into the stanchion bore 20 when in the closed position thereby releasably gripping the stanchion 14 between the cam lever head 42 and stanchion bore wall 46.

Abstract: A holding connector system is provided for connecting a microdevice feeder to an assembly line table having a plurality of alignment pins. A connector body having a slot provided therein engages one of the plurality of alignment pins and a table recess in the connector body holds it to the assembly line table. A threaded knob secures the connector body to the assembly line table. The microdevice feeder is provided with an alignment plate, which has fingers engaging the alignment pins to cause the microdevice feeder to be properly aligned with the assembly line table. A clamping plate on the microdevice feeder engages a portion of the connector body, which holds down the microdevice feeder.

Abstract: A bracket (10) which is adapted to carry an item of merchandise (12) on a retail display fixture (11) includes a mounting member (16) adapted to be attached to the fixture (11). A support frame (24) is adapted to carry the merchandise (12) and is pivotally attached to the mounting member (16) so that the merchandise (12) may be carried at a selected angle relative to the fixture (11). An adjustment plate (22) carried by the mounting member (16) has apertures (23) therein to receive a protuberance (35) carried by the support frame (24) to maintain the support frame (24) at the selected angle relative to the mounting member (16). The support frame (24) includes laterally spaced, longitudinally extending side members (25) which include posts (26) receivable in hollow arms (27) at selected lateral positions to adjust the lateral space between the side members (25). Selected of a series of apertures (31) in the side members (25) receive a bolt (32) to hold the merchandise (12) on the support frame (24).
