A clamping seat includes a pipe seat, a movable clamp and a fixed clamp. The pipe seat includes an inner pipe space and an outer pipe space to insert the inner pipe and the outer pipe. The pipe seat includes a side opening beside the inner pipe space and a side space beside the outer pipe space. The movable clamp includes an arc block beside the side opening, and a screwing member pressing the arc block into the inner pipe space then to press and fix the inner pipe. The fixed clamp includes a clamping plate in the side space, and a tightening bolt pressing the pipe seat against the clamping plate, allowing the clamping plate to press the outer pipe.

A bow stop is an apparatus that safely aids in the docking of a boat. The apparatus includes at leas tone length-adjustable stopper assembly. The at least one length-adjustable stopper assembly includes a telescopic bar, a stopper tube, a bungee cord, a first cradle mount, and a second cradle mount. The telescopic bar adjusts to the length of a boat. The stopper tube presses against the front of the bow. The bungee cord retracts the stopper tube into a neutral position. The first cradle mount and the second cradle mount secure the telescopic bar, and consequently the stopper tube and the bungee cord with the cradle mount. In a preferred embodiment, the at least one length-adjustable stopper assembly is a left length-adjustable stopper assembly and a right length-adjustable stopper assembly. The preferred embodiment further includes a length-adjustable cable, connecting the left length-adjustable stopper assembly with the right length-adjustable stopper assembly.

A trampoline has a side frame supported by support legs, multiple fiberglass guardrail poles joined to the side frame or the support legs, and a guardrail netting held open by the guardrail poles. Each guardrail pole includes two fiberglass rods joined together by a connector that includes two nested securing tubes, where two respective ends of the two fiberglass rods are inserted in the internal securing tube. The external securing tube is secured outside of the internal securing tube. The guardrail netting has multiple securing fabric sleeves stitched to its top end. Each sleeve has a first part with a sealed top and a width matching that of a wider top section of the fiberglass guardrail pole, and a second part connected to the first part with a width matching that of the fiberglass guardrail pole, where the second part has a gap in the middle.

An apparatus is presented comprising a captive screw comprising an upper portion, an upper middle portion, a central middle portion, a lower middle portion, and a lower portion, the central middle portion comprising a threaded portion, the lower portion comprising a barbed portion, the upper middle portion and the lower middle portion comprising a smooth portion, and the upper portion comprising a grip portion, wherein an outer circumference of the barbed portion is flexible, wherein the captive screw is configured with a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion to attach to a first member of an auxiliary device, and wherein the captive screw is configured to act as a set screw with respect to a second member of an auxiliary device.

A bar hanger assembly is used to couple a housing to a support structure. The bar hanger assembly may include a bar hanger holder to mechanically couple the bar hanger assembly to the housing, such as a junction box, a can housing, or a frame. The bar hanger holder may define a channel to mechanically guide and support a pair of bar hangers. The bar hangers may be mechanically coupled together in a telescoping manner such that the first bar hanger is slidably adjustable with respect to the second bar hanger. The bar hanger holder and each bar hanger may physically contact one another and, in some instances, generate a compressive force to substantially reduce unwanted play. Each bar hanger may include a bar hanger head to couple the bar hanger assembly to various types of support structures, such as a T-bar, a stud, a joist, or a frame.

A pole assembly to support a device at an elevation and including a slidably joined first tube and second tube. A first collar mounts to an end of the first tube and the second tube protrudes from the end. A second collar is adjacent the first collar. A lock-and-key coupling, associated with the collars, prevents them from separating longitudinally along the tubes. The coupling is operable in adjustment and lock modes while a key is in a lock aperture to secure the collars together. In the adjustment mode, the tubes can slidably move relative to one another. In the lock mode, the first tube can be fixed relative to the second tube. The key can slide radially inward and outward, toward and away from a longitudinal axis of the first and second tubes when the lock-and-key coupling transitions from the adjustment mode to the lock mode and vice versa.

There is provided a multi-leg stand, for photography and the like comprising a vertical main tube, a supporting structure for the vertical main tube comprising a plurality of legs connected to the bottom portion of said vertical main tube and including a plurality of lockable collars rotatably secured around the outer circumference of the vertical main tube and a leg rigidly secured to each of the lockable collars; each leg extends horizontally outwardly from one of the collars and including an outer end portion extending downwardly. At least one of the downwardly extending end portions, comprises a secondary tubular member having an opening at each end designed to securely hold a replaceable member; the replaceable member extends downwardly from the lower end opening thus providing further support for the stand. The stand can thus support either multiple lights or a combination of lights and reflectors or other elements.

A trampoline includes a stand which has a peripheral frame, a plurality of legs and a bounce mat which is elastically suspended on the frame. At least one guide is secured to the stand. A bar is received in a height adjustable manner in the guide. An inner piece is movably received in the guide. The bar is fixed by a relative movement between the inner piece and the guide.

A pole assembly to support a device at an elevation and including a slidably joined first tube and second tube. A first collar mounts to an end of the first tube and the second tube protrudes from the end. A second collar is adjacent the first collar. A lock-and-key coupling, associated with the collars, prevents them from separating longitudinally along the tubes. The coupling is operable in adjustment and lock modes while a key is in a lock aperture to secure the collars together. In the adjustment mode, the tubes can slidably move relative to one another. In the lock mode, the first tube can be fixed relative to the second tube. The key can slide radially inward and outward, toward and away from a longitudinal axis of the first and second tubes when the lock-and-key coupling transitions from the adjustment mode to the lock mode and vice versa.

A trampoline has a side frame supported by support legs, multiple fiberglass guardrail poles joined to the side frame or the support legs, and a guardrail netting held open by the guardrail poles. Each guardrail pole includes two fiberglass rods joined together by a connector that includes two nested securing tubes, where two respective ends of the two fiberglass rods are inserted in the internal securing tube. The external securing tube is secured outside of the internal securing tube. The guardrail netting has multiple securing fabric sleeves stitched to its top end. Each sleeve has a first part with a sealed top and a width matching that of a wider top section of the fiberglass guardrail pole, and a second part connected to the first part with a width matching that of the fiberglass guardrail pole, where the second part has a gap in the middle.
