A system for handling shipping containers includes first and second lifting beams and first and second holding beams. The system further includes a plurality of vertical beams wherein the plurality of vertical beams support the first and second lifting beams and the first and second holding beams. In the system, first and second pluralities of lifting shoes are disposed respectively on each of the first and second lifting beams while first and second pluralities of holding shoes are disposed respectively on each of the first and second holding beams. The system also has a hoisting mechanism that raises and lowers the first and second lifting beams, and the first and second lifting beams, the first and second holding beams, the plurality of vertical beams, and the hoisting mechanism are arranged to form a lift beam system.

An attachment is provided for interchangeably converting a ski simulating machine into a rowing machine, the ski simulating machine having a frame, a pair of skis slidably mounted on the frame to move in forward and rearward directions on the frame and means mounted on the frame for providing resistance to the pair of skis during at least one of forward and rearward movement. The attachment includes a seat mounted for guided sliding movement with respect to the frame, foot support means mounted on the frame for bracing a user's feet when the user is sitting on the seat, and means for coupling the resistance providing means for application to a user's arm movement during a rowing exercise.

The present invention defines an anti-theft device for use with a variety of personal property, including bicycles, motorcycles and other small vehicles employing a three-part assembly of high-impact glass-filled nylon which attaches to vehicle frames of various size. The fastening means is hidden and sound channels are utilized to enhance an audible alarm and to prevent muffling of an interior speaker, activated by partial cutting or disconnection of a cable of known resistance. The cable is inserted in a case assembly with differing positions depending on whether the user wishes to set the alarm or store the cable out of the way if not energized. The alarm may be silenced by incrementally turning a key and removing a cable. The same key is positioned to allow arming of the alarm by insertion of the cables in the proper orientation. Further, the same key, turned another increment allows removal of the front cover of the assembly exposing the power source and electronics and allowing the unfastening of the assembly from the frame.

Anti-theft device

Coded interchangeable key pad assemblies alternately installed on a keyboard so that one of a variety of programmable sets of keyboard functions is enabled for selection by user actuation of the keys. Each key pad assembly has a durable construction and is securely attachable to the remainder of the keyboard. Each key pad assembly is installed on the remainder of the keyboard and interacts with the system with which the keyboard interfaces, preferably a programmable system, to provide a custom key panel for the user so that key functions can be tailored to a desired selection of operations available to the user upon actuation of the keys.
