  • Patent number: 4420182
    Abstract: A collapsible camping trailer or camper having a horizontal top panel which serves as the ceiling of the camper in the opened position and as a flat storage bed when the camper is in the collapsed position. A rigid front panel is pivotally affixed at its upper end to one edge of the top panel and has tracking members at its lower end received by a pair of channels in the camper floor. The rigid front panel collapses from a vertical position when the trailer is opened to a horizontal collapsed position between the camper floor and the top panel which also collapses, when in the closed storage position. There are corner supports affixed to another edge of the top panel which also pivot between opened and closed positions to add structural stability to the camper when in the opened position. The top panel also can be provided with guide ways which can be used as a storage bed for two-wheeled vehicles when the camper is in the collapsed storage position.

  • Patent number: 4365720
    Abstract: A tool holder which, in accordance with one embodiment, simply is an integral length of sheet material such as sheet metal or plastic which is folded to form a triangle having a back wall, a bottom wall and a top wall. The top wall slopes outwardly and downwardly from the upper edge of the back wall, preferably at an angle of approximately 45.degree., and has a cut-out in it which is shaped and proportioned to receive a particular type of power tool, such as a skill saw or drill. The back wall has means, such as a keyhole slot, for removably securing the tool holder to a support surface, such as a wall. The lower edge of the back wall also can be folded to extend outwardly perpendicular to the back wall and beneath the bottom wall so as to form a flange or shelf which supports the end edge of the bottom wall and thus adds rigidity to the tool holder.
