A retractable tow strap apparatus for towing a vehicle includes a protective casing and a reel including a hub The tow strap apparatus further include a tow strap webbing for winding about the hub, means for attaching at least one end of the tow strap webbing to a vehicle to be towed, and means for biasing the reel to wind the tow strap onto the hub When the tow strap is in a fully extended position, the tow strap apparatus is configured to transmit substantially all of a tension force applied by a towing vehicle to a towed vehicle through only the tow strap In addition or alternatively, the means for biasing applies a biasing force to automatically wind the tow strap webbing onto the hub In addition or alternatively, the tow strap webbing is non-disjoint and includes two ends that are each extendable from the casing

Retractable tow strap

A fuel valve for use in the fuel system of motorized recreational vehicle, such as a motorcycle, snowmobile, or the like. The improved fuel valve generally includes a valve body, main and reserve inlet tubes attached to the valve body, a valve assembly disposed within the valve body, and a plurality of gaskets adapted to seal the valve assembly within the valve body. The valve assembly is adapted to rotate through open, reserve and closed positions to provide various fuel settings.

Ball fuel valve with reserve position

Valve apparatus for controlling flow of fluid via one or the other of two inlets defined by said apparatus, and via one or the other of two outlets defined by said apparatus, includes: a body defining a cavity; and a rotor defining porting, and rotatable in the cavity between a first position in which porting in the rotor communicates between one of the inlets and one of the outlets, and a second position in which porting in the rotor communicates between the other of the inlets and the other of the outlets; and an annular collector extending about the rotor and having an annular plenum with a discharge opening, the plenum adjustably rotatable about the rotor to angularly orient the discharge opening; the body having a through passage remaining in communication with the annular plenum as the annular collector is adjustably rotated, the through passage selectively alignable with one of the outlets in the first position of the rotor, and selectively alignable with the other of the outlets in the second position of the rotor. Also, a clamp nut is adjustable on the body to allow rotary adjusting of the collector, and a handle to rotate the rotor is connected to the rotor via an opening through the collector.

Multiple mode metering valve

A method for the destruction of a localized mine, wherein an unmanned underwater vessel cooperates as a primary vessel ( 11 ) withy another unmanned remote-controlled underwater vessel acting as a secondary vessel ( 12 ) and which is provided with an explosive charge for explosion purposes. To reduce clearing costs compared to a method that uses a disposable vessel and to reduce clearing times compared to a method using a re-usable clearing vehicle, the primary and secondary vessels ( 11, 12 ) are used in an autonomously operating mode wherein the secondary vessel ( 12 ) is remotely controlled by the primary vessel ( 11 ). The tandem mode is effected as far as the mine ( 33 ) from the primary vessel ( 11 ) outwards by use of stored positional data on the localized mine ( 33 ) and on-board assisted navigation data; the mine ( 33 ) is relocalized using optical and/or optical sensors, and the secondary vessel ( 12 ) is positioned in relation to the mine ( 33 ) in a remote-controlled manner once the mine has been relocalized and the explosive charge is exploded by remote control.

Small sentinel mounting plate

A valve is provided having multiple vertically spaced inlet ports, and having a port selection mechanism for connecting to the outlet selected inlets corresponding to predetermined reserve levels.

Reserve metering valve

A safe tow strap apparatus is provided in which a tow strap is attached to the towing vehicle and a hook/loop fastener device is used to secure the tow strap to the towed vehicle.
