A system for loading, unloading and carrying a boat, upright with motor, on a vehicle includes a raised carrying rack positioned at an incline above the vehicle and a loading arm extending rearwardly from the back of the vehicle and supported in cantilever fashion by cables. A winch, cable and pulley system pulls the boat out of the water, onto the loading arm, up onto rollers at the rear of the carrying rack, and to the forward end of the carrying rack where it is secured. The loading arm may be folded upright after the boat is loaded on the carrying rack.

Apparatus for dispensing small items. A removable dispensing tray has a spiral ejector, each coil of which is loaded with one item. The dispensing tray is placed in position on its dispensing station, which station has a drive motor to rotate the spiral ejector. Upon an activating signal, the motor rotates the ejector one time, causing one item to be dispensed. The dispensing tray includes a tray latching bar which latches to a station latching bar to hold the dispensing tray.

A latching and locking snap hook utilizing a conventionly shaped snap hook body having a normally open hook end portion which is opened and closed to receive and discharge a connector, line or other fixture by movement of a spring biased latch member pivotally connected to the snap hook body at a position remote from the open hook portion, the spring biased latch member extending beyond the body of the snap hook on the side opposite to the open hook end and capable of being moved in a direction away from the hook end portion about the pivot to open the snap hook end portion when a locking member received between the snap hook body and the spring biased latch is moved from a position where it interferes with the movement of the latch to a position where it does not interfere with that movement.

An apparatus for removing relatively dense particulate or viscous sedimentary waste material from a storage container, transporting the material to a selected location, and depositing the material at that location in a selected manner. A wheeled carriage supports a rotatably mounted elongate holding tank having an axis of rotation parallel to the axes of rotation of the carriage wheels and an elongate aperture extending from end to end thereof. A cover having an inlet for feeding waste material into the tank and an outlet connected to a vacuum pump for reducing air pressure within the tank is supported by a pair of upright standards such that the cover may be sealingly pressed against the tank over its aperture when the aperture is oriented to open upwardly, or lifted up away from the tank to permit the tank to be rotated once it is full. A crank, connected to the tank by a chain, enables the tank to be rotated to place the aperture in any angular position for emptying the tank, thereby enabling the material within the tank to be controllably emptied through the aperture and to be entirely removed from the tank. A baffle placed along one side of the tank directs waste material downwardly as it escapes through the aperture, thereby aiding uniform spreading of the material.

Apparatus and method for applying a counteracting force which is generated by pulling superposed sections of webbing, which are secured together, through a separating means so that the separation of the secured together superposed sections generates a counteracting force. A frictional force may also be generated so as to provide an additional counteracting force.

A fall arrester and emergency retrieval apparatus and a support tripod therefor, wherein an emergency retrieval assembly is operably associated with a clutch-brake type cable drum to enable cable dispensed from the cable drum and supporting a worker, subsequent to a fall to be selectively drawn in or extended from the assembly. The invention may comprise actuation assembly designed to hamper disengagement of the emergency retrieval assembly from the cable drum by unauthorized personnel subsequent to engagement and use of the emergency retrieval assembly. A specially adapted tripod assembly is described for anchoring the fall arrester and emergency retrieval apparatus which allows the apparatus to be mounted on a leg portion thereof or suspended from a central portion thereof, for facilitating use of the fall arrester and emergency retrieval apparatus in confined entry applications.

A positively locking snap utilizing a conventionally shaped snap hook having a normally open hook end portion which is opened and closed to receive and discharge a line or other fixture by movement of a U-shaped spring biased closure pivotally connected to the snap body at a position remote from the open hook portion, the U-shaped spring biased closure extending beyond the body of the snap hook on the side opposite to the open hook end and capable of being moved in a direction away from the hook end portion about the pivot to open the snap hook end portion when a locking member received between the snap hook body and the spring biased closure on the hook side of the snap hook body is moved from a position where it interferes with the movement of the spring closure to a position where is does not interfere with that movement, the movement of the locking member being facilitated by the provision of an exposed lateral extension of the member extending beyond the spring biased closure toward the end of the snap hook opposite from the hook end portion.

A safety line system includes support assemblies which clamp to respective reinforcement bars protruding upward beyond the top surface of a concrete beam. The support assemblies include stanchion assemblies having respective posts that may be selectively pivoted relative to the beam. The support assemblies also preferably include end anchor assemblies that are connected to respective stanchion assemblies by respective chains.
