Abstract: The invention is a portable, lightweight, utility/tool tray designed to safely and reliably hold tools and supplies on a general use extension ladder. The utility/tool tray is a sturdy, self contained device whose base area will have an area for tool storage located in front and a larger, general area in the rear for miscellaneous items, including, but not limited to, a typical one gallon container of paint. The utility/tool tray device is designed to be easily hung on two vertically adjacent steps of the ladder so when in use, the base area of the device remains essentially horizontal and provides for the support of, as well as easy access to, the various tools and supplies of the user, while the user is performing work on the ladder.

Abstract: A support for surveying equipment and the like has telescoping legs and a locking system including a clamp for locking the legs in a selected position of extension. The two telescoping leg members making up each leg have wedge formations which engage over a wide surface when clamped together to facilitate locking. The clamp is formed to actively release from locking the leg members which the clamp is unlocked. The leg members are particularly constructed to permit surveying tools or other objects to be permanently or replaceably mounted on the legs. A hinge connection of the legs permits them to pivot together in a collapsed position is formed in a unitary fashion with one of the leg members for additional strength. The hinge also holds the leg member to facilitate interlocking the leg members at a selected position of extension.

Abstract: A roof scuttle is provided which is adapted to be easily installed on any curb on a roof which curb may be existing, pre-formed or formed on the roof at the time of installation. The roof scuttle has a rectangular frame with an outwardly extending drip flange and the bottom of the frame is placed flat on the curb and the inside wall of the frame of the roof scuttle secured to the curb. This eliminates any external fastening of the roof scuttle to the roof which can cause leakage problems and also provides a more secure and safe installation. One embodiment of the roof scuttle uses a wood frame supplied with the roof scuttle which frame is useful for transportation of the roof scuttle and also for installations requiring a wood frame curb. The roof scuttle may be installed over irregular shaped openings, existing roof scuttles, and wide or narrow concrete, wood or metal curbs.

A recess is formed in each of the arms for receiving a portion of a pipe hanger. A projection extends from each arm. The device fits between a suspended pipe and the hanger. Contact between the arms and projections of the device on the one hand and a portion of the pipe hanger on the other hand resists movement of the pipe. Contact between the arms and a portion of the pipe hanger resists movement of the device with respect to the pipe hanger.

Abstract: A foot device for use with furniture which device includes a rigid portion having a body with a first face which contacts the furniture and a second face which is directed towards a floor with low slip material protruding from at least one recess in the second face.

Abstract: Disclosed is a clip useful for the moveably attaching items to a track system. The clip according to the present invention has a slideable body with an attached light item securing portion. The slidable body is preferably semi-spherical in shape with two opposed, cut-out sections.

Optionally, a second silhouette may be joined to the opposing major face of the stained glass panel so that the design of the silhouette may be viewed from either side of the stained glass window. Additionally, the stained glass window system can be provided with at least one glass panel member, a peripheral frame member and peripheral insulation member.

Abstract: A fully pulled-out type mobile apparatus comprises an extractable device, two relay levers and two guide rails. The extractable device provides two opposite lateral sides with a respective proper slot at a bottom thereof being between at least two opposite guideposts extending downward from the bottom. Each of the relay levers provides an elongated groove for being passed through by the guideposts with a connecting piece engaging with at least one of the guideposts such that the guideposts can be received and displace in the elongated groove. Each of the guide rails provides an outer rail part, an inner rail part and a ball structure between the outer and the inner rail parts. The ball structure has a length at least equaling to a length between two guideposts at both ends of the extractable device and the inner rails of the guide rails connecting with the relay levers respectively so as to move with each other.

Abstract: A deck including a panel, a retainer and a fastener. The panel includes a flange having an aperture therein. The retainer includes an upper leg and a lower leg embracing the flange therebetween, with the lower leg having a fastener receiving opening. The fastener is for attaching the panel to structural framework, with the fastener including a shoulder. The fastener extends through the aperture of the flange and the opening of the lower leg of the retainer. The shoulder extends through the aperture in the flange and abuts against the lower leg of the retainer to secure the retainer. Furthermore, the shoulder is sufficiently tall as to prevent the fastener from tightly clamping the flange. Additionally, the flange embraced between the upper leg and the lower leg of the retainer is adapted to expand between the upper leg and the lower leg. Therefore, thermal expansion of the panel is accommodated.

Abstract: A seat track assembly includes a lock having a lock pin movable between locking and unlocking positions. A guide forms a cylinder supporting movement of the lock pin and first and second shear plates are located on opposite sides of the guide. A spring member resiliently biases the lock pin toward the locking position. The lock pin extends through openings in the first and second shear plates. The lock pin, the guide, and the spring member are located entirely within an interior space of a movable track. A release assembly includes a bracket secured to the movable track, a pivotable fork, and a handle pivotally attached to the bracket and operably engaging the fork so that pivotable movement of the handle pivots the fork to move the lock pin. A secondary spring member biases the release assembly toward the locking position.
