    摘要: A coupling device is provided for receiving and securing a ball, the ball being attached to the structure to be coupled, such as a tow vehicle in the case of a trailer hitch application. Various embodiments of the device for both tongue and “goose neck” trailer hitch applications are included, which provide for simple and effective latching and unlatching. Hands free latching is provided for all coupling embodiments. A pivoting ball support is rotated and displaced as the ball enters the device, and is returned to a position whereby the ball is prevented from exiting the device. Various provisions are made for retaining the pivoting ball support in this position after such latching has occurred. Provisions for unlatching include various handles and hand pushed structure.

    摘要: A soft-bodied crank-bait lure comprising a rigid interior skeleton and a rubbery body molded or formed thereover, where the skeleton includes: a first channel extending downward and rearward from the anterior end of the lure; and a second channel extending downward and forward from the posterior end of the lure. The rearward opening of the first channel is spaced from and substantially faces the forward opening of the second channel, and the first channel and the second channel are angled with respect to each other. Fishing line or leader line is threaded through the first channel and then through second channel, and the hooks are coupled to the line rather than to the skeleton or to the rubbery body. Therefore, the lure will "free-flow" on the line, so that when a fish strikes the lure and becomes hooked, the lure will slide away from the fish. Furthermore, during the ensuing fight, when the line becomes taut, the angled alignment between the first and second channels will cause the lure will become substantially "locked" onto the line away from the fish.

    摘要: An electric power distribution device for insulated conductors has a substantially rigid base, a housing, and at least one series of spaced apart support blocks for supporting such conductors at intermittent positions along their length. The support blocks are substantially enclosed within the combination of the housing and the base, extending substantially from the base to a position in close proximity to the housing top. The support blocks are formed of a substantially inflexible material.

    摘要: A snap swivel for fishing includes a snap component and a swivel component. The snap component includes an eye, a first arm member extending down from the eye, a second arm member defining a lever arm, a bottom flexure region extending between the first arm member and the second arm member, and the bottom flexure region exerting a biasing force to urge the second arm member to a relaxed open position. A coil arrangement formed about the first arm member includes an open gap for receipt of a latching hook on the end of the second arm member in interlocking engagement with the first arm member to close the snap with a distal tip of the latching hook contained within the coil arrangement and guarded to prevent snagging or cutting other fishing tackle.

    摘要: A two-part clip for making a waistband smaller including a U-shaped cover and a U-shaped sinch. The cover has a top wall and opposing sidewalls, one of which has a T-shaped connector and the other of which has a protrusion. The sinch has a top wall and opposing sidewalls with oppositely directed longitudinal fins on the inboard side. A first of the sinch sidewalls has a slot for receipt of the T-shaped connector and the second of which has a sloped dome on the outboard side with a guideway for directing the protrusion on the cover into a well provided in the dome. The cover has an aperture in the top wall into which the top wall of the sinch is received with abutment ledges in the aperture received in detents in the top cover of the sinch as the cover is slid over the sinch.
