Abstract: The two piece rider assembly consist of a base piece that is welded to the skid pipe of a steel slab reheat furnace and a top piece that is removably attached to the base piece. The base piece has a cut out slot divided into three sections. The center section has strait walls and the front and back sections have walls that slope into the cut out to reduce the cross sectional distance. The cut out is open at the front section. The top piece has two protrusions with dove tail looking cross sections that fit into the front and back sections of the cut out slot of the base piece. The tip of the dove tail protrusion is wider than the neck of the cut out slot in the base piece so that upward movement is prevented when they are engaged. The protrusions are separated by at least the distance of the front section of the cut out slot of the base piece.

Abstract: This chicken coop litter removal apparatus that incorporates a frame under which a blade is pivotally mounted to extend outside the side of the frame to scrape along the walls of chicken coops. The blade is pivotally mounted to the frame held in its normal working position by tension. When the blade contacts an object such as a structural pole, it rotates relative to the frame backwards. A side bar is mounted to the frame to push the frame out slightly from the wall of the chicken coop as the blade passes the pole. When the blade passes the pole it returns to its original position because of the tension means but does not contact the wall because the frame was pushed slightly away from the wall by the side bar. The devise is mounted to a standard tractor using a type 3 trailer hitch and has two wheels one at each side rear so that it rolls easily.

Abstract: A hand mounting of illumination device. A common flashlight or other light source is mounted on the hand between the metacarpal bones of the thumb and forefinger.
