Abstract: The loader bucket sieve apparatus is clamped between the jaws of the bucket of a bucket loader or the like, without tools or fasteners. Importantly, as the apparatus rests upon a given surface, the loader operator need only place the jaws of the bucket in the appropriate positions and then clamp the jaws together, reversing said procedure when wishing to disengage the apparatus. The apparatus may have straight supports or concave supports, depending upon need and bucket application. The sieves may extend beyond each side of the supports at each side of the apparatus in order to increase work surface beyond the bounds of the jaws. The sieves may be equidistantly spaced and may also be unequally spaced apart. Sieves may be disposed within all the holes or part of the holes of the supports.

Abstract: The hands free leash apparatus provides a leash cord that is detachable from the case that is worn as chosen on an animal controller via the strap. The second embodiment features a leash cord that is retractably extended from within the case, with lock and lock release to determine an animal's distance from the case, up to 20 feet. The v-shaped grip is removably inserted within the inset of the case so that a user can choose to omit the grip by choice. The reduced width of the strap importantly allows for the reduced width to be removably inserted into the strap's opposite end strap slot 52 without undue strap width surrounding a controller's arm, for example. The pocket with flap provides for a controller to carry such items as a cell phone or medial player, hands free.
Abstract: The inflatable grain storage apparatus provides a truly portable inflatable and collapsible structure. The apparatus structure is fully integral. The apparatus is importantly bi-inflatable, whereby the reversible air pump air delivery and removal is via a Y with valve that provides for filling and emptying the spine and straight supports and also the structure interior separately or cumulatively. This hastens filling and ensures proper filling of the spine and straight supports without potential kinking or delays. The floor is importantly reinforced with bi-directional straps and is comprised of heavier material than are the above moisture and material proof components.
Abstract: The cat climbing apparatus provides for cats to scratch, stretch, climb, and position themselves at an elevated height. The sturdiness of the apparatus mounting brackets insures cat use, as cats hesitate or simply refuse to use scratching and climbing posts that are not sturdily anchored, one reason why cats often choose furniture over poorly designed cat implements. The apparatus provides for a user to arrange tubes, angles, and at least one platform as desired, thereby best fitting spaces available as well as providing aesthetic appeal and cat intrigue. The rope wrap of the tubes is durable and inviting to a cat.
