A fishing rod includes a handle, with a lower handle positioned below the fishing rod handle, with the lower handle mounting a scale assembly therewithin. The scale assembly is in operative communication with a support cable for positioning a fish for a measuring procedure.

A strain relief device for coupling of a cable connector to a terminal of an electrical device. The strain relief device includes an elongated base member having a flat surface extending between first and second end portions. A fastener is fixedly connected to the flat surface at the first end portion, for releasably fastening the base to an external surface of a housing to the electrical device. A clamping device extends perpendicularly from the base at the second end portion. The clamping devi...

A peck feed drill incorporates a motor gear quill and a feed control assembly together on a moving race track shaped piston. External construction of the housing permits mounting of an indexing adaptor plug for attachment of drill bushings. Internal construction of the housing provides for passage of air to the various components to which control tool operation. Valves within the air logic circuitry are multi-functional to minimize the number of parts.

A clamp for a reciprocatory tool blade is disclosed having a spring loaded roller constrained in an inclined blade accommodating cavity which so effectively forces the roller into clamping relation against a tool blade shank that no special blade shank configuration is required and manual shift of the roller against the spring load provides for ready removal of the tool blade.

A ram actuating mechanism 20 for a blowout preventer 10, the ram actuating mechanism 20 including a hydraulic booster for enhancing the ram closing force. The ram actuating mechanism 20 may be compatible for use with primary pistons 25 which include internal moving components, such as self locking pistons. The ram actuating mechanism 20 providing a hydraulic booster without increasing the diameter of the booster pistons above the diameter of the primary piston, such that BOP stack height need no...

A kneeboard formed of upper and lower polymeric shells about a core material and having a internal, generally vertical stiffener to impart strength to the kneeboard and to provide a low profile strengthened kneeboard.

A product in the form of a segmented strip includes tabs to assist in dispensing individual segments from the strip. Segments of the strip are separated by lines of perforations running transverse to the strip. A tab of sufficient size to be easily grasped is adhesively secured to the strip across the line of perforations. The tab is positioned so that less than half of the area of the tab is disposed on the segment that is the first to be dispensed. The majority of the surface of the tab is dis...

By providing a frame assembly, two wheel holding carriers which are arcuately pivotably mounted to the frame assembly, and a support platform which is also pivotally mounted to the frame assembly and controls the movement of the wheel holding carrier, a small, compact, two wheeled, luggage cart/carrier is achieved which is capable of quickly and easily arcuately pivoting wheel support brackets between two alternate positions, with ease and convenience. In addition, the arcuate pivoting movement ...

A double wall, light-weight tank construction for the storage of flammable liquids is formed from two conventional steel tanks having flame proof, curable cementitious insulative material between the walls. Spacers preformed preferably of the same cementitious material are glued about the exterior surface of a conventional inner tank having ports. An exterior tank is formed with one end cover being detachable. Apertures are cut in the exterior tank to align with the ports of the inner tank when ...

Method and apparatus for visual testing. In one embodiment, for perimetry testing, the method uses threshold light-stimulus values determined at multiple seed locations in a visual field to calculate expected stimulus threshold values at locations which are nearest-neighbors of the seed locations. The expected values at the nearest-neighbor locations are compared with subject responses at these locations, and the correspondence between the two is used to refine and guide line stimulus level pres...
