Abstract: An inflatable water craft for underwater observation, the craft incorporating an integral underwater viewing window which includes a top and bottom transparent lens sonic welded to the craft intermediate a cavity which passes through the top and bottom of the craft forming a viewing port. Inflatable stand-offs protect the bottom lens. The top and bottom lenses includes a closeable vent. An inflatable pillow is sonic welded proximal the top transparent lens. Inflatable boarding guides center the user on the craft and air chambers support the user's body weight thereby preventing sagging or bending of the craft. The craft may further comprise a hand-held device for wading and swimming activities. Use of sonic welding and specific materials prevents undesired leakage into viewing port and prevents discoloration of the top and bottom lenses.
Abstract: An end cap for use in a shade assembly for use in a vehicle wherein the end cap is a rotating end cap. The end cap is capable of rotating and twisting and includes a base and a rotating connector partially arranged within an end of the base. The rotating end cap also includes an extension with the rotating connector partially arranged within an end of the extension. The rotating end cap will allow for the end cap to effectively reduce its length by rotating the extension with relation to the base from a generally parallel position to one having an orthogonal position between the extension and base.

Abstract: A corner bracket for use in mounting and locating a mounting bracket for a window covering including an inverted L-shaped mounting plate having a plurality of preformed slots and holes for receiving the mounting bracket in a predetermined location and at least one perpendicular laterally extending flange for abutment with a support surface adjacent a window opening for locating the mounting plate in the corner of the window opening.
Abstract: A bracket for adjustably supporting a drapery suspension rod has a mounting section, and also has a cantilever supporting arm with a base in guideway interengagement with the mounting section to provide vertical adjustability. The cantilever arm has a cross-section providing top and bottom surfaces presenting different but similar, guideway configurations interengagable with particular different standard fittings, respectively, to provide horizontal adjustability. The mounting section has an outwardly offset portion establishing the guideway configuration, which slidably receives securing nuts in non-rotative relationship.
