A boom stick for use with log booms in water transport and storage of logs is formed by a plurality of vehicle tires (used) arranged in substantially axially aligned, side by side relationship with their tread surfaces forming the outer periphery of the boom stick. Axially extending reinforcing rods pass through the rim receiving holes in the tires and hold the tires together and a material (preferably foam concrete) having a higher specific gravity of less than 1 substantially fills the tires. In a preferred arrangement the tires are filled to a preselected level with light weight material and the remainder filled with a material having a higher specific gravity than the light weight material to provide a longitudinally extending heavy segment that orients the boom stick in the water.       Recently Added Patents Visor interface Cable manipulator Multilevel memory bus system for solid-state mass storage Tensioning bow member for a flexible cover system Transaction authorization service Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and storage medium thereof Decoding method and decoding apparatus   Randomly Featured Patents Printing control method and printer Holographic printer Bowling lane oil application device and method Network distribution information management system Method and apparatus for automatic collimation in x-ray peripheral imaging Soldering method and soldered joint Led-based planar light illumination and imaging (PLIIM) based camera system employing real-time object coordinate acquisition and producing to control automatic zoom and focus imaging optics Electromagnetically operated valve control system and the method thereof Spectacle frame selector and display device Biosensor with a membrane containing biologically active material © 2006-2008 PatentGenius.
