An anchoring arrangement is provided for anchoring a dock leg to a bottom of a body of water. A base plate has a lumber or timber receiver on its top surface and has three or more anchor legs that are attached to the base plate and that extend downwardly. At least one of the anchor legs preferably has a fluke pivotally attached to it so that when the anchor leg is pushed downwardly into a bottom of a body of water the fluke pivots into contact with the anchor leg. A subsequent attempt to pull the anchor leg upward causes the fluke to pivot into an extended position in which it provides additional resistance to the upward motion of the anchoring leg. Most small docks have legs made of conventional lumber or timbers large enough to provide a buoyant force adequate to support thsi metal anchoring apparatus. One can thus attach the anchoring apparatus to a dock leg, tow the dock leg to wherever it is to be installed, turn it into a vertical orientation, and thrust the anchoring apparatus into the bottom of the body of water.

A method of forming a button-type battery terminal housing member includes, a) providing an electrically conductive sheet having an exposed surface, the conductive sheet being larger than a desired resultant battery terminal housing member to be produced therefrom; b) providing a discrete solid gasket body, the gasket body being larger than a desired resultant gasket to be received relative to the battery terminal housing member; c) providing adhesive intermediate the conductive sheet exposed surface and the gasket body, and adhering the gasket body and conductive sheet together with the adhesive; d) positioning the conductive sheet with the gasket body adhered thereto between first and second forming members; and e) moving at least one of the forming members in the direction of the other to bear one of the forming members against the gasket body to simultaneously bend the solid gasket body and conductive sheet into a desired battery terminal housing member shape; the moving step also cutting through the gasket body, adhesive and conductive sheet; the adhesive retaining the solid gasket body fast against the conductive sheet outer surface during and after bending. The electrically conductive sheet is preferably circular in shape prior to the moving step. Further, the gasket body as-adhered to the conductive sheet is preferably in the shape of an annulus. The one forming member bears against the gasket body prior to the cutting action.
