Snap cover converter
A snap cover converter couples a boat cover to a boat. The converter has a snap portion that snaps to a mating snap portion on the cover, and will remain snapped thereto until a person removes the snap cover converter. A loop, when secured, extends from the snap portion snapped to the cover to and about either one of a male snap member affixed to a boat, or a knob that may be used in addition to or to replace a prior art snap member. The knob has a top, a base, and a shoulder intermediate between top and base that together engage securely with an opening in the loop. In one preferred embodiment, the loop opening is keyhole shaped, and the knob top has a generally cylindrical exterior of a diameter greater than the knob shoulder and less than a diameter of the knob base.
Adjustable Fastener
An adjustable fastener is provided. The adjustable fastener includes an elongated main body and a mounting bracket for receiving the main body therein. The elongated main body includes a plurality of teeth along the length of the main body. The mounting bracket includes a latching mechanism disposed on a front face thereof, the latching mechanism having a first end including a release lever and a second end including a plurality of ribs extending into an interior volume of the mounting bracket. The ribs on the second end of the latching mechanism engage with the teeth on the main body to slidably secure the main body within the mounting bracket, thereby providing a vertically adjustable fastener.
Bungee Cord
A bungee cord comprises a body (3) and a terminus (2) detachably mounted on an end portion of the body (3); and the terminus (2) includes a gripping portion (8); a fixing hole (83) and a cord hole (84) are defined in the gripping portion (8); and the cord hole (84) communicates with the fixing hole (83); and the body (3) is arranged in the cord hole (84), and fixed by a pin, nail or screw (4) detachably arranged in the fixing hole (83). The body of bungee cord can be removed from the terminus; and the bungee cord can be gripped via the gripping portion. The bungee cord has a simple structure, and good practicality.
SELF-LOCKING HOOK TO AVOID UNEXPECTED OPENING
What is disclosed in the present invention is a self-locking hook to avoid unexpected opening. When a press-button is pressed down, a spring is compressed, a pressing arm and an axle pin are completely inserted into an insertion hole, at this point, the axle pin leaves a transverse clipping position and forms an openable state with a support arm, in which they can rotate along the curved slide rail in a mounting slot. An elastic arm is mounted inside the mounting slot and is pressed upon the bottom surface of the support arm to push a lock hook and maintain the locking state between a lock arm and a hook arm. The lock hook be rotated only when the press-button is pressed down. The present invention can avoid direct opening of the lock hook under a pressing force, thus preventing unexpected opening and loosening of the hook.
Mounting device to securely hang a wide range of objects to a wall
The present invention relates to a mounting device to securely hang objects to the wall. The mounting device has a support member and a hook portion. The support member has a plurality of nipple members through which a plurality of nail members can be driven into the wall. The nipple members are positioned on an angle to support and offset the weight of heavier objects. The support member also has apertures in a V-shaped configuration. The user can hammer larger screws through the apertures for securing the support member onto denser walls. The mounting device also has a hang member. The hang member has smaller apertures and a large opening. The smaller apertures are used to secure the hang member onto the object to be hung itself. The large opening couples the hang member to the hook portion, allowing the mounting device to securely hang the object to the wall.
Systems and methods for a key optimized double gated carabiner
A carabiner includes a carabiner body having a first opening, a first gate coupled to the carabiner body, the first gate configured to open and close the first opening, and a second gate coupled to the carabiner body, the second gate, when closed, defining a first area and a second area and, when opened, providing a second opening to the second area. The first gate, when opened, provides a first opening to the first area. The first gate is configured to open via rotation in a first rotational direction and the second gate is configured to open via rotation in the first rotational direction.
