20110209314 | Force multiplying motorcycle retaining strap - A generally U-sectioned cam buckle frame is modified to include a first turning roller aligned transversely across the frame proximate the free end of a release lever. A generally planar tongue having one end pivoted adjacent the first roller extends within the frame under the cam piece connected to the release lever provides a force transfer structure for a strap is inserted between the tongue and the frame bottom surface, around the first roller to pass between the cam piece and the other side of the tongue. Other transverse rollers may be included in the frame to form a pulley arrangement and one end of a frame side wall may be convolved to form a hook assembly. | 09-01-2011 |

20130000818 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INSTALLING A SURFACE CONFORMING DRYWALL ANCHOR - A wall anchor insert, and an installation tool and method to allow for the installation of a wall anchor flush to wall surface. The materials are a polymeric insert, and a moisturing curing adhesive resin. The installation tool facilitates the installation of anchor, including the required resin coating, and insures that anchor is flush. At such time that redecorating is done, there will be no unsightly anchor to remove or wall damage to repair. The anchor is left in place with only one small screw hole to spackle. | 01-03-2013 |

20130299666 | Earthquake Resistant Adjustable Wall Hook - A wall hook useful for hanging framed pictures and other objects on a wall. The hook is formed form metal sheet, configured to provide a narrow aperture to contain the selected hanging wire. That hook aperture can be easily adjusted in size using conventional tools to bring the opening to a close slip fit to the actual wire diameter thereby further reducing any possibility that the wire would escape during seismic activity. A dual post wall hook embodiment can be installed using a latch arm that closes the aperture of wall hook to further secure the hanging wire. | 11-14-2013 |
20130333162 | Light Gage Wire Structural Connector - A wire connector designed to create a structural parallel line-splice in light gage metal wires. The connector is useful to make quick adjustments for hanging wire lengths. The connector also facilitates making structural end-loops for hanging wall-pictures and other decor. | 12-19-2013 |
20140138340 | Overhead Hoist - The hoist winch system of the present invention uses a cable drum that allows a web cable to be attached to the wind drum at a mid-point along the length of cable. The single cable has web loops at the two opposite ends. The wind drum winds both sections of the web cable at the same time, but the cable ends are routed by separate guide pulleys extended horizontally to the lift pulleys that direct each line segment down to the object to be lifted at separated points | 05-22-2014 |
20150327695 | FRAME HANGING WIRE POST WITH LOCKING CONNECTOR - A hanging wire post with a locking connector for decorative hanging applications. This hanging wire post would be alternate to using eyelets or D-rings for attachment point of hanging wire to frame. This hanging post will install to frame with a single center-point screw. This post supports the hanging wire which is threaded through and around backside of post resulting in a frictional grip on wire that facilitates wire length adjustment. The hanging wire is then locked into position with the parallel line locking connector. The result is a very high strength end connection, and very quick and precise installation. No frustration of trying to tie precise knots in stranded wire or stranded wire rope. This device will work equally well with coated or uncoated stranded wire and wire rope. | 11-19-2015 |
