Abstract: The instant invention is a ladder accessory in the form of a toolbox. The toolbox is coupled to support brackets mounted on each front leg of a conventional ladder. The toolbox includes a handle that allows for securing to the brackets when the cover is opened by forcing pinions located in the bottom of the box through pinion apertures located on each support bracket. The support bracket allows lifting of the toolbox so as to provide a safe working area for a worker on top of the ladder allowing ease of access to the necessary tools in order to accomplish a particular task. Bracket release levers are provided on each support bracket to allow lifting of the toolbox in a convenient manner.

Abstract: The instant invention is directed to increasing the safety of ladders and includes an accessory holder for the top of ladders forming a tray which expands in size allowing placement of working materials in the tray. The tray collapses into a size assimilating a conventional ladder top for compact storage. The tray can be raised to various heights and allows the operator to remove the tray in its entirety to carry items to the ladder providing for convenience and safety. An alternative embodiment provides for the use of solid portions in place of a tray allowing smaller ladders such as to be used as saw horses yet provide a means for forming a smaller tray for securement of miscellaneous working materials. The improved ladder employs handles that couple to each side limb of the ladder allowing an operator to grasp the handles while climbing.

Abstract: A hack-saw that consists of a powered motor encased in a housing unit with a handle for gripping by the operator. Extending out from the top of the handle is an elongated bar which runs out forward from the motor housing unit to which depends a leg parallelly disposed relative to the motor housing. Extending out from the bottom of this leg is a rod, spring and nut assembly parallel in line to the elongated bar. One end of the metal hack-saw blade is removably attached to the rod, spring and bolt assembly and the other end of the blade is removably attached to the reciprocating output member of the motor extending out from the bottom of the motor housing which when running moves back and forth, causing a sawing motion. In another embodiment the rod, spring and nut assembly includes an anti-rotational structure to assure the hack-saw blade reciprocates over a constant path of travel to avoid misalignment.

Abstract: This device consists of an encased, electrically powered motor housing unit with a first handle parallel in line to the height of the unit. Extending out from the top of the handle is a metal bar one inch in diameter which runs out forward from the motor housing unit to which is attached a second handle bar parallel in line to the first handle and the motor housing. Extending out from the bottom of this second handle is a metal rod with a spring and a bolt parallel in line to the metal bar. This metal rod has a hole in it for mounting one end of a metal hack-saw blade. The other end of the blade is to be mounted to a metal piece extending out from the bottom of the motor housing which when running moves back and forth, causing a sawing motion. Directly above the metal rod with a spring and directly above the metal piece is a metal bar to which is attached a roller to keep the hack-saw blade steady.

Abstract: In reference to a grass cutting machine of the kind comprising a self-propelling device supported on four wheels rotatably mounted to rotate around a common axis and supporting a chassis carrying a power source and provided with rigid or adjustable rearwardly extending handle bars and rigid or adjustable forwardly extending means for a cutter device comprising a housing accomodating at least one cutter, a device consisting of a rigidly affixed, or adjustable seat housing with adjustable handlebars, which is to be positioned above the power source, parallel in line with the common axis, and attached directly to the steering linkage thereby allowing the operator greater maneuverability by providing operation from with-in the center of gravity without deterring from the original intended purpose of the machine itself.
