Abstract: A portable hand control device for operating the brake and accelerator foot pedals of a motor vehicle is disclosed. The device comprises a pair of collapsible control rods, each swivelingly connected at one end to a respective foot pedal clamp and at the other end to an elongate handle adapted to be held in either hand of the user. The handle and control rods are free of any operative connection to the motor vehicle apart from the foot pedal clamps.

Abstract: The invention relates to an anti-theft device especially but not solely for automobile vehicles which causes blocking of the gear-change lever.The gear-change lever is articulated about an axis substantially parallel with the floor of the vehicle and close to this floor. The floor has attached to it a lock device arranged to imprison the said lever after it has been pivoted down flat.

Abstract: A portable fuel and oil dispenser for servicing chain saws and other portable engine driven equipment, includes a compact carrier for side-by-side containers holding different fluids such as fuel and oil. Pump assemblies which effect fluid transfer during an upstroke thereof and have features causing a straight line lifting of a pump piston rod extend into each of the containers for fluid transfer therefrom and respectively include leak protection features such as relief ports for backflow of fluid from the pump assembly into the container when fluid transfer is not required. Flexible delivery conduits such as hoses are connected to the pump assemblies for dispensing the fluids and remote ends thereof have nozzles with a check valve at an extreme tip end to prevent seepage and dripping of the fluid from the nozzle. Further, to prevent inadvertent operation of the pump assemblies, handles therefor are foldable and collapse downwardly and out of the way against the containers.

Abstract: A resettable lockout means for an overload indicating winch lever is disclosed that automatically trips in response to overload applied to the lever forcing the lever members out of normal operating alignment and actuating an associated overload indicator. The winch operator desiring to remove the tell-tale overload indication and to restore the members of the operating lever into normal operating alignment is required to reset the lockout device through a deliberate procedure involving removal of a lockout device holder, followed by manual resetting of the lockout device within the winch lever.

Abstract: An improved brake lever assembly of the overcenter toggle type is disclosed, wherein the brake operating lever is preferably pivotally connected with the stationary mounting plate assembly about a pivot axis that is laterally displaced from the linear axis of travel of an inner cable member relative to the concentrically arranged tubular outer sheath, thereby to reduce wear of the inner cable guide means. According to a first feature of the invention, an improved anchor plate or anchor plate arrangement is provided for connecting one end of the outer sheath member with one end of the stationary mounting plate assembly. In accordance with a second feature, a ratchet and pawl assembly is provided for releasably locking the operating lever in various angular positions relative to the mounting plate assembly.
