| 20090057521 | Tie-down bracket - The bracket comprises an upright tube and a cleat connected to one side of the tube. The cleat has a pair of horizontal, transversely extending horns protruding from the tube. In use, a pair of the brackets are pivotally mounted on the upper ends of the shafts of embedded screw piles bracketing a pipeline. A flexible tie-down strap, having loop ends, extends across the pipeline. The loop ends each releasably engage one of the brackets. Each loop end extends over the bracket tube and is trapped beneath the cleat, so as to bear against the side surface of the tube lower end. The loop end and bracket can readily be engaged or disengaged in the field. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090090836 | Post Positioning Jig Assembly - A post positioning device includes a collar defining a post positioning aperture therein for receiving a post; a stabilizer for removably securing the collar about the post; and a positioning system operably connected to the collar having a first angular state and a second angular state relative to the collar; wherein the positioning system is configured to adjust from the first angular state into contact with the post to maintain the post plumb in a hole in the second angular state. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090114795 | MULTI-MODE BEACH UMBRELLA ANCHOR - A multi-purpose beach anchor provides a sturdy base for at least one of a small, medium or large sized beach umbrella as well as for an optional table and an optional tubular holder for a fishing rod. The rigidity of the anchor is secured by an integral hand operable slide hammer mechanism for driving the spike element into the sand for an optimal distance straight down. This slide hammer is used by sliding up and down over a tubular support member atop the spike, wherein the spike has an integral strike collar. A few short strokes of the weighted slide hammer element drives the spike into the sand or other terrain. A hand screw is then used to lock the hammer weight to the tubular support and the spike rigidly. An umbrella shaft can then be directly slid over the support tube and locked in place. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090152434 | REINFORCING POLES - A method for reinstating a pole standing in ground comprising, abutting an inner surface of a sleeve against an outer surface of the pole so as to have a lower portion of the sleeve penetrating the ground and an upper portion of the sleeve projecting above the ground, and sliding a secondary member against an outer surface of the sleeve so that the secondary member locates against the sleeve and projects above the ground and into the ground, wherein the construction is such that the sleeve and secondary member located against the sleeve jointly form a bridging beam incorporating a box section reinforcement of the bridging beam. The formation of this box section substantially improves the strength of the bridging beam above what would be expected from the strength of the individual components. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100123067 | Bow caddy - A deployable and stowable bow caddy has an upper support section with a pair of horizontal members for supporting a bow without damage to any delicate components extending from the bow. The upper support is supported by a lower section which may be sub-divided into further smaller sections for more convenient storage and carriage. The support components may preferably be hollow tubular construction for strength and light weight. The handle sections will preferably be coated with a protective elastomeric coating which will not only prevent any damage to the bow, but will prevent the bow from sliding while the bow is being supported. | 05-20-2010 |
