Abstract: A hand rail attachment for beds comprises an upstanding side member connected to a base member adapted to fit under a bed mattress. The side member is in the form of an inverted U-shape with adjustably mounted cross-members mounted between the depending arms of the U-shape. The end of one depending arm has a pivot pin mounted therein, and the other end has a slidable sleeve attached thereto. The base member has upstanding end portions, one of which receives the pivot pin, and the other of which abuts the end of the other depending arm having the slidable sleeve which slides over the abutting connection and locks the upstanding side member to the base member. The base member has elongated U-shaped support members mounted at either end thereof to extend under the bed mattress.

Abstract: A vacuum apparatus for debris collection comprises a motor vehicle having a vacuum tank collector and means for generating a vacuum. A horizontally and vertically extendible tube is connected to the vacuum tank collector, and extendible support linkage supports the tube along its length. Means are provided for extending and retracting the support linkage and the tube with respect to the vehicle and the ground while pivoting the tube and support linkage on a support base member pivotally mounted on the vehicle to provide a wide range of motion over the ground surface.
