Disclosed herein is an oil filler cap for disposition upon the rocker cover in an internal combustion engine in which the opening mechanism commonly used for opening oil cans to allow the lubricant to pass within the engine is integral with the valve cap itself. Specifically, the device includes an inverted cone having a hardened tip area at its vertical extremity, an overlying protective shroud, plural openings disposed on the conical area, and an upper pinch plate for latching the cap onto the valve cover itself. Cooperating with the pinch plate is an underlying outwardly flared terminus having tab members to allow co-action with a latch upon the rocker cover.

A fishing apparatus having special utilities for trolling or drift fishing for bottom feeding fish. It is constructed of rust-proof wire (10) with a set of small coils (14) connecting with a crossmember (18) to a set of larger coils (16) on the top and a unique U shaped body (10) which attaches to the weight (12). Each part of the apparatus being designed for a specific purpose. The small coils (14) being designed to wrap the fishing line (22) with swivel (20) attached through, therefore eliminating the necessity of cutting and tying the fishing line (22) and at the same time acting as a stop mechanism to prevent the apparatus from falling off of the fishing line (22). The larger coils (16) being designed to slip the leader line (24) through and attach it to the swivel (20), they being large enough to allow the fishing line (22) with swivel (20) attached and leader line (24) to move freely through them. The apparatus being able to move freely on the fishing line (22) without causing a tug when a fish takes the bait. The U shaped body (10) having the weight attached being designed to carry the lure, spinner, hook and bait to the bottom of the body of water, being rounded at the bottom allowing it to bounce.
