A portable filter cleaning assembly is configured to retain a filter on support rod and allow the filter to spin from a spray of water. The spinning filter releases debris from the filter surface through centrifugal force. The assembly has drainage features to ensure proper drainage of water collected within the interior of the filter and enable proper spinning from the spray of water. The assembly utilizes a support rod with a bottom filter retainer that is conical in shape for engaging with the filter aperture. The bottom filter retainer may further have a bearing that enables the filter to rotate freely about the rod with very little force. The assembly may include a stand for securing the support rod on a hard surface, such as concrete or on an uneven lawn surface.

The present disclosure belongs to the field of suction-operated devices, in particular to a sucker device. The device includes a sucker, a rotating member and a connecting member, wherein both ends of the rotating member are rotatably and movably connected to the connecting member and the sucker respectively, the sucker is provided with a fixing position for fixing the device on an external structure by suction, and the connecting member is provided with a connecting position for mounting a structure to be carried. In the present disclosure, both ends of the rotating member are rotatably and movably connected to the connecting member and the sucker, so that when the device is used, the suction-operated device has a larger angle adjustment range, and can better meet the use requirements of consumers.

Devices, systems and methods of using an ergonomic fore grip/gun handle with a concealable and collapsible bipod. One version can have a tubular recess consisting of a first cylindrical cutout housing the bipod legs when concealed and a sliding piston that deploys the legs and a second cylindrical cutout housing a release mechanism and a void space for other accessories. The release mechanism has a compression spring positioned between the piston assembly and the bottom of the first cylindrical cutout and the compression spring. The legs are connected to the bottom of the piston assembly via a hinge and spring that when released from confinement within the fore grip, causes the legs to expand outward until fully deployed. Telescoping legs allow adjustment of leg length for use on uneven terrain. The grip portion has an outer surface with a flat surface on sides of the grip to provide a more stable grip, assist in orienting the mounted weapon and support pressure pads for lights.

A collapsible stand that is designed for use on loose soil or sand. The collapsible stand has a central shaft and an auger that extends from the shaft. A slide hub moves along the central shaft between a first position and a second position. Legs radially extend from the central shaft. Linkages are used to interconnect the legs with the slide hub. When the slide hub moves to its first position along the central shaft, the linkages move the legs into a stowed configuration. When the slide hub moves to the second position, the linkages move the legs into a deployed configuration. The central shaft is set into the ground using the auger. The legs are deployed, wherein the legs have footpads that rest upon the ground. The pull of the auger biases the footpads against the ground and create a highly stable stand.

Provided is a leg spike for a tripod apparatus. The leg spike can retract in and out of a a leg of a tripod. In one example, the leg spike includes an inner hollow tube section with the leg spike therein which is attached to a sliding pin that enables the leg spike to retract in and out of the inner hollow tube section, and an outer hollow tube section that fits over the inner hollow tube section and includes a turning mechanism which allows the sliding pin to move up or down with respect to the outer hollow tube section causing the retractable leg spike to move in and out of the inner hollow tube section when a turning force is applied, and prevents the inner hollow tube section from moving up and down with respect to the outer hollow tube section when the turning force is applied.

A multi-purpose camera stand includes a lower tube, an upper tube sheathed on the lower tube, a multi-stage telescopic rod installed into the lower tube, and a mounting stand fixed to the multi-stage telescopic rod. A camera equipment is installed onto the mounting stand, and three legs are hinged to the bottom of the lower tube. After the three legs are folded, a first accommodating space for accommodating the multi-stage telescopic rod is formed, and a second accommodating space for accommodating the stand is formed in the upper tube. When the camera stand is folded, the telescopic rod is accommodated into the first accommodating space, and the mounting stand is accommodated into the second accommodating space to reduce the storage volume of the camera stand and facilitate storage and carry. In addition, the mounting stand can be rotated in different directions to fit the use of different occasions.

A biased latch subassembly is disclosed. The biased latch subassembly includes a shaft body, a rocker latch, a latch pin, a biasing member and a latch actuator. The latch pin rotatably-connects the rocker latch to the shaft body. The biasing member is disposed against the rocker latch and the shaft body. The latch actuator engages a portion of the shaft body. The latch actuator is manipulatable between at least a first position relative the shaft body and a second position relative the shaft body. When the latch actuator is arranged in the first position, the latch actuator urges the rocker latch into an un-latched position with the shaft body. When the latch actuator is arranged in the second position, the latch actuator permits the rocker latch to assume a latched position relative the shaft body. A pod assembly is also disclosed, which includes the biased latch subassembly and an indexing plate. A firearm implement system is also disclosed and includes a firearm and at least one pod assembly attached thereto. Methods are also disclosed.
