  • Patent number: 6464207
    Abstract: A motorcycle lift and stand apparatus for manually lifting and supporting a motorcycle in an elevated position for cleaning or other maintenance. The motorcycle lift and stand apparatus is a collapsible support system which can be quickly and easily raised from a storage position to an operational position by the use of a lever arm. Operation of the lever arm easily lifts an entire motorcycle into a raised position above a ground plane. The apparatus has a cycle support surface formed by two cylinders spaced apart by rigid members and a pair of upright support units. The lever arm is affixed to one of the upright support units such that when the arm is lowered, the upright support units raise the cycle support surface from the ground plane position to an elevated position with sufficient force to lift the motorcycle.

  • Patent number: 6128781
    Abstract: A tray and bib food catching apparatus for use in child feeding or the feeding of individuals where spilled food may be likely. The tray and bib food catching device allows food, including liquids, to be captured and retained in a pocket formed by the bib when used in conjunction with a tray. In one embodiment, the tray and the bib are integrally formed. The bib has an opening for the neck of the child or other user and has two arm openings. The arm openings are located closer to the tray than the neck opening such that when the bib is placed over the head and arms of a user, the upper arms and shoulder tend to support the fabric of the bib in an elevated position at the sides and allow the bib to sag into a pocket-like formation at the center immediately below the neck opening. The tray may also be made of a rigid material and be generally U-shaped at the edge facing the user.
