Abstract: A can holder for use with a can which includes a container having an open end and a base end and includes a bail pivotally movable at the open end, the holder having a clamp which has a pair of hooks movable toward and from each other individually to engage the container ends, a resilient element urging the hooks into such engagement, an element engagable manually to release the hooks from such engagement, and elements for adjusting the distance between the hooks for engagement of containers of different lengths between such ends; the holder having an elongated handle which has one end pivotally mounted on the clamp for movement of its other end toward and from the bail; and the holder having a hook mounted on such other end to engage the bail so that the holder and the can can be lifted by grasping the handle or suspended by an S-hook engaging the handle, the length of the handle being selectively variable to vary the angular relation of the bail to the container and to vary the angular relation of the conta

Abstract: An automatic pneumatic connector for air brakes for mounting on couplers of railroad cars for relative elevational, longitudinal, and swivel motion with air-tight integrity being obtained by springs compresssing abutting gaskets and with guides to bring the gaskets into engagement as the railroad cars are coupled.
