Abstract: The present invention is operable to store or transport one or more sheets of any material, including fragile materials. The present invention may be utilized to store or transport a wide variety of materials including, panes of glass, laminated glass, insulated glass, plastic sheets, or any other rigid panels of any material. The transport rack includes slots wherein one or more glass panes may be loaded and supported. One or more rotatable gripping arms may be utilized to support the one or more panes of glass positioned within the slots. Cushioning material may cover or coat the supporting members and/or gripping arm. One or more glass panes positioned in the transport rack may be protected from breakage during storage or transport.

Abstract: A storage mount for a bicycle includes a generally U-shaped raceway to receive the hasp of a conventional U-shaped lock. The raceway includes a mounting flange which is attached to a support surface prior to receiving a lock hasp. The lock hasp is inserted into the raceway and rotated ninety degrees at which point it is prevented from further rotation allowing a bicycle to be supported thereon and a lock to be fastened to the hasp.

Abstract: A dual flush toilet control mechanism includes an operating handle and attached actuating cam, a control arm and a control float arm. When the handle is turned in a first direction, the actuating cam moves the control arm to open fully a conventional toilet tank main valve to its buoyant position. When turned the handle is turned in a second direction, the actuating cam moves the control arm to open partially the main valve to a position wherein it is subject to the suction developed by the water exiting the toilet tank. A control cam on the control float arm maintains the control arm in position to maintain the main valve open against the suction until the water level in the tank drops below a predetermined level. When the float on the control float arm reaches the predetermined water level, the attached control cam allows the control arm to drop and the main valve to close.

Abstract: An improved system for making notch on notch joints and the like wherein the members to be joined have notches formed across a portion of their width. Each member includes a longitudinal extension beyond the notch and these extensions cooperate to form a joint which has a flush exterior and yet is substantially as strong as a conventional notched joint. One configuration allows the same joint members to be employed to form inline, right-angled and T-shaped joints.

Abstract: A pitcher's mound on, which a pitcher in the sport of Baseball stands while pitching the ball, is collapsible, and is made up of several wedge-shaped segments which are connected to a central hub in an easily releasable manner. The segments and the central hub are quite rigid yet are of a size and weight which makes them reasonably portable. The surface of the pitcher's mound can be such as to absorb impact when struck by a ball and to provide good footing for the pitcher.

Abstract: A collapsible, foldable ladder of use as an emergency escape means such as a fire escape ladder, has a plurality of channel section rungs extending from side to side across the width of the ladder, and side support means extending between adjacent rungs at ends thereof. The side support means each comprise two pivotally connected, rigid sections, pivotally connected to the ends of upper and lower rungs. The ladder can be collapsed, whereupon the side support members fold inwardly and fit within the channel sections of the rungs, so that the rungs rest upon top of one another, and extended e.g. under its own weight when suspended by one end, whereupon the side support members are extended perpendicularly to the transverse extent of the rungs.
