A holding member configured to hold an injection portion and an imaging unit of an insertion portion in a state in which the injection portion and the imaging unit are arranged side by side includes an injection-portion insertion portion configured such that the injection portion is press-fitted into the injection-portion insertion portion and an imaging-unit insertion portion configured such that the imaging unit is press-fitted into the imaging-unit insertion portion. The insertion portion is configured to be inserted toward a corresponding portion in a narrow space while being gripped by an operator. The injection portion has a cylindrical shape and is provided with a fluid substance injection port at a tip end portion. The imaging unit has a cylindrical shape and is configured to capture an image including the tip end portion of the injection portion and its surrounding environment.

According to some embodiments, a fishing rod attachment is disclosed. The fishing rod attachment is used to create drag on a fishing line. The fishing rod attachment device may include an upper jaw and a housing. The upper jaw is coupled to the housing where the housing includes (i) a lower jaw and (ii) a device clip to couple the housing to a fishing rod.

An apparatus for connecting a workpiece to a connection element in a form-fit and/or force-fit manner includes a robot for positioning the workpiece, a spindle for connecting the connection element to the workpiece, and a first support to stabilize the workpiece as the connection element is connected to the workpiece. The first support has a contact region substantially in alignment with a spindle longitudinal axis and in contact with the workpiece during connection of the connection element to the workpiece. The contact region has a size which is smaller than 0.01 m.sup.2. A second support to stabilize the workpiece as the connection element is connected to the workpiece has a support surface which in a state in which the workpiece is supported in a substantially orthogonal axis relative to the longitudinal axis of the spindle is disposed in a different plane than a support surface of the first support.

This paper is directed to a system for the storage and display of large objects, such as surfboards. The system disclosed herein holds a surfboard vertically via the leash plug. The system may use hook on a hanger to hold a leash attached to the leash plug. A variant of the system uses a bumper, either above or below the hook, to hold help hold the surfboard in place. An additional variant of the system may use a hook directly attached to the leash plug.

A clamp assembly may include an upper clamp member and a lower clamp member removably coupled to the upper clamp member. The upper clamp member may include a first projection extending from a lower surface thereof. The first projection may be configured to be at least partially received in a complementary opening of a mounting member. The lower clamp member may be removably coupled to the upper clamp member. The lower clamp member may include a second projection extending from an upper surface thereof. The second projection may be configured to be at least partially received in the complementary opening. The first projection and the second projection may be configured to substantially impede rotation of the clamp assembly relative to the mounting member.

The invention comprises a pocket carryable, width/length adjustable, rectilinear phone support assembly, arranged to permit various safe, secure manipulable orientations thereof while supporting a mobile phone. The phone support assembly comprises a pair of 1.sup.st corner arm assemblies and a pair of 2.sup.nd corner arm assemblies intermatingly attached to one another. The 1.sup.st corner support members are arranged diagonally across from one another and the 2.sup.nd corner arm assemblies are arranged diagonally across from one another. Each 1.sup.st corner arm assembly meets with the respective receiving member and in a member of an adjacent 2.sup.nd corner arm assembly, and wherein each corner arm assembly has a corner hub with an elongated receiving member and an elongated inner member extending from the corner hub at an angle of 90° with respect to one another. The assembly includes a swivelable, fully articulable telescopable leg extending from a lower portion of each corner hub so as to adjustably arrange the phone support assembly and a comfortable and easily viewable manner.

The friction clamp includes a cylindrical body of elongate form between ends and with a slot into which a tubular item is snapped. Lateral connectors such as a receiver with a cylindrical recess therein receive an end of a tubular member, such as a member similar to that which snaps into the slot. As an alternative to the receiver, a tab is provided extending from the clamp laterally. The tab includes a hole through which hardware is placed, and an item having a similar tab is placed adjacent to the tab extending from the clamp and the hardware tightened for fixation at a desired rotational orientation. As another alternative to the receiver, a small friction clamp connector is provided on an exterior of the friction clamp. A small rod (or other item) snaps into the small clamp. The small clamp and rod can be provided separate from the friction clamp.

A removable module and a housing for an attachment system of a consumer product is described. The removable module includes a locking mechanism comprising a first portion having a substantially planar top surface and second portion that comprises a substantially non-planar bottom surface. The first portion and the second portion are coupled together. The locking mechanism also includes a first spring mechanism coupled between the first portion and the second portion. The first spring mechanism causes the first portion to be biased away from the second portion. The locking mechanism also includes a second spring mechanism. The second spring mechanism causes the substantially planar top surface of the first portion to be biased substantially flush with respect to the removable module and also causes the substantially non-planar bottom surface of the second portion to be biased proud with respect to the removable module.

A knotless coupler for securing a fishing line to a fishing implement is disclosed. The knotless coupler comprises a shaft portion and a nut. The shaft portion is configured to be attached to the fishing implement. The shaft portion comprises a plurality of external threads and an external line-receiving groove formed across at least some of the external threads. The nut is configured to be threadably engaged with the external threads of the shaft portion. The nut is movable between a non-gripping position and a line-gripping position. A portion of the fishing line is inserted through an opening in the nut and into the external line-receiving groove when the nut is in the non-gripping position. The portion of the fishing line is secured within the external line-receiving groove by the nut when the nut is in the line-gripping position.
