Abstract: A motor mount for use in model airplanes is disclosed. The motor mount includes a mounting plate and a pair of spaced arms extending generally perpendicularly from the mounting plate. Each arm includes a generally horizontal surface for supporting flanges of a motor or engine and an angled surface spaced above and sloping toward the horizontal surface. A clamping plate is secured to each of the angled surfaces. Each clamping plate secures a flange of the motor to one of said horizontal surfaces. The clamping plates can be secured to one of a plurality of locations along the longitudinal dimension of each arm.

Abstract: A bracket for an open boat having a hull with a tubular gunwale. The bracket comprises a deformable strap fitted around the gunwale and clamped thereto. The bracket includes a load carrying base member extending laterally outboard of the bracket strap and adapted for carrying various devices, including a lantern.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to an ash tray particularly adpated for utilization on the dashboard of a vehicle and includes a base and a tray having cooperative means therebetween for slidable assembly and disassembly with clamp means for releasably securing the base and tray together in the assembled condition thereof, the base including first and second end portions, the first end portion of which is formed of flexible material carrying a coating of adhesive from which can be peeled a layer of sheet material for adhering the base to the cowl of a dashboard once the first end portion of the base has been conformed to the contour of the dashboard, and the cooperative coupling means being a tongue and groove sliding connection with the base also including stabilizing tabs for reducing vibrations and laterally disposed upright walls upon which the tray rests.

Abstract: A mountable, attachment unit which includes a first plate member adapted to be anchored or positively mounted to a dashboard or suitable surface of a vehicle or the like having a first, permanently arranged capturing lip thereon to receive and hold one portion of a mounting bracket of an accessory unit such as a CB radio or the like therein and a second, spring loaded lip element, slideable and in reverse position to the permanent lip to capture an opposite side of the bracket of the unit to be mounted therein with the spring pressure between such lips provided to positively hold the accessory unit between the permanent and movable lip portions.

Abstract: A holder particularly adapted for supporting beverage containers from a lawn chair in which a clamp is provided for connecting the holder to the leg of a lawn chair or other equivalent support together with a pivotal bracket having a supporting ring at the outer end thereof. The pivotal bracket is selectively retained in horizontal operative position or pivoted downwardly to a generally vertical collapsed or stored position. The supporting ring or annular member at the outer end of the bracket is provided with a net-type of device suspended therefrom having an open bottom with a perimeter less than the supporting ring, thereby effectively supporting and suspending the lower end portion of a beverage container.

Abstract: A retentive base for large, heavy shipping casks of the type used to transport radioactive or nuclear material, the base including a plate adapted to be secured in a horizontal position on the bed of a supporting vehicle and a ring carried by the plate and having a vertical wall perpendicular to the plate, the cask being confined within the ring, there being engaging posts within the confines of the ring, and means for shifting the ring and certain of the posts carried thereby to retentively engage the cask and prevent movement thereof during transportation.

Abstract: A supporting device for laboratory containers, bottles, and the like which comprises a helical spring joined at its ends to form a torus-shaped body with several turns of said spring being loosely affixed to a base, thereby permitting expansion of said torus-shaped body when an object having a dimension greater than the central opening of the torus is inserted therein. Preferably said helical spring is wound to have substantially no compression and tension between turns, a natural frequency between 10 and 100 cycles per minute, and the spring wire is of a thin, rectangular cross-section with the long side directed radially.

Abstract: A holder for paint cans and the like for engagement on extension and step ladders and other elevated work supports. A container receiving platform is held in horizontal position by demountable hook elements that may be attached at the rear of the platform to extend above or below the platform and by a telescoping brace arm that is pivotally engaged to the front of the platform and with a forked free end that is adapted for selective engagement to a lower rung of an extension ladder or for cooperative use with the hooks and a lock bar to hold the platform engaged to a flat step of a step ladder. The platform has a plurality of can receiving base edges or receptacles to receive and support cans of different size. The bottom rims of the cans are securely held by protrusions at least one of which is flexibly mounted to facilitate release of the cans from the platform. The platform, removable hooks, brace arm and lock bar are cooperatively designed for compact storage and shipment.

Abstract: This invention relates to devices and means to retain, to hold or to grip securely coins, keys, jewerly and other such like items, and more particularly to hold coins in readiness for automobile drivers who must often pay highway and bridge tolls. The main embodiment of the present invention is to provide a pocket-like or a lip-like extruded section or clamping device, preferably made of resilient plastic or rubber. Various lengths of such an extruded section may then be glued or otherwise secured to strategic places to support quarters or dimes or half dollars near the driver's seat and within easy reach of the driver.

Abstract: A measuring probe assembly for continuously measuring the revolution speed of a twist tube of a false-twist machine is described. The measuring probe is detachably secured on a holder device which in turn is detachably secured to a texturing device detachably mounted on the machine. A flexible connection cable is permanently fixed to contacts on the measuring probe and leads to a display device. Thus, the measuring probe can be detached without breaking the electrical connection to the probe.

Abstract: A decorative support and enclosure structure for a small hand-held fire extinguisher is disclosed which possesses a generally rectangular shape with a peaked top and a gabled face configured to resemble an antique fire alarm box. The structure comprises a support member including a horizontal platform, a vertical back wall member continuous therewith, and reinforcement structures comprising paired triangular struts connecting the complementary surfaces of the horizontal platform and the vertical back wall member, and a removably engageable cover comprising the peaked top, the gabled face continuous therewith and parallel opposed side walls, all of which are continuous with the peaked top, and the side walls continuous with the gabled face along opposing vertical edges thereof.

Abstract: A wall-mountable rack for a liquefied gas bottle comprises a base having two vertical angle iron members, an angle iron support member extending horizontally from the base, the angle iron support member having its ends attached to the two base members and having its flanges directed upwardly and inwardly to provide horizontal and vertical support to a bottle placed thereon, and means for maintaining the angle iron support in a horizontal position.

Abstract: A one-piece bracket for retaining a rectilinear terminal block or the like in a stand-off position above a support panel. The bracket includes means for insuring aggressive gripping of the terminal block by the bracket.
