Abstract: A sink drain clog removal device is provided. The sink drain clog removal device may include a nozzle coupled to a U-shaped clamping member, the clamping member having an upper arm and a lower arm. The clamping member is configured to fit over the lip of a sink drain pipe such that the nozzle is directed into the drain pipe. The clamping member may be secured to the drain pipe by a clamping screw. The nozzle has a hose connector for connecting to a water supply hose. The water supply hose may be connected to a water supply valve. The water supply valve is used to control water flow through the hose and through the nozzle to direct water into the sink drain pipe while unclogging the drain pipe. A method of using a sink drain clog removal device is also disclosed.

Abstract: A firefighting platform assembly that is attachable to the rear of existing fire vehicles outfitted with a self-contained firefighting apparatus or skid unit. The platform assembly comprises a platform base, upstanding side walls, and a means for attaching the platform assembly to a trailer hitch.

Abstract: A hose support device is provided for connecting to a hose along its length and securing the same against a ladder while the hose is being utilized by a user thereon. The device comprises an elongated interior member having two distal end rounded members extending outward therefrom. The rounded members include an outer surface having a plurality of hose notches therein, wherein the notches of the rounded members are vertically aligned to secure to a hose in a first and second position along its length. Extending from the end of one of the rounded members is an eye bolt for suspending the device, or further for attaching a strap thereto when securing the device to a ladder. A supplementary strap is adapted to be wound around the device and a hose length positioned between two aligned notches to secure the hose therein.

Abstract: A roller drum assembly includes a roller drum for rotationally engaging a surface, a frame connected to the roller drum for manually controlling movement of the assembly, a tank mounted on the frame for retaining a liquid, and conduits mounted on the frame for directing the liquid from the tank to the roller drum, and further includes a wand mounted on the frame and in communication with the tank, for ejecting the liquid onto selected surfaces spaced from the roller drum assembly.

Abstract: A pipe holder includes a body member and a support member connected to and extending away from the body member. The body member defines an opening proximate a first end of the body member.

Abstract: A ladder hose retainer 10 for use with a ladder 48 having a ladder rung 50, includes an elongated tubular member 12 adapted to fit within a rung 50, and having a first and a second externally threaded end, 14 and 16. An internally threaded fitting 24 threadedly engages first end 14 and incorporates at least one gripping member 30 such that each gripping member 30 is adapted and arranged to securely engage a hose 58. An internally threaded cap member 22, adapted to threadedly engage second end 16, provides for adjustable mounting of the elongated member 12 within rungs 50 of various sizes. The ladder hose retainer 10 allows the secure retention of a vibrating hose 58 of a spray device to a ladder, thus reducing the vibration and discomfort imparted to an operator by the vibrating spray hose.

Abstract: A tool support apparatus is provided for supporting a hand-held tool, particularly a pneumatic tool, connected to a line, such as a pneumatic line, from a waistbelt of a user of the tool. The tool support apparatus includes a holder attachable to a waistbelt and a pivotally movable support plate attached to the holder. The support plate defines a recessed and open-sided passage therethrough for receiving an adapter attached in-line between a hand-held tool and operatively connected line. The adapter defines a central passage therethrough between opposing first and second open ends. The first open end is adapted for attachment to a hand-held tool, such as a pneumatic tool, and the second open end is adapted for attachment to a line, such as a pneumatic line, whereby the line is in gaseous communication with the tool through the central passage of the adapter.

Abstract: An apparatus for connecting a waterway, having a nozzle, to various sections of an aerial ladder. The connecting apparatus comprises an off-set cam within a cylindrical sleeve. One end of a connecting link is attached to the cylindrical sleeve. The other end fits within the clevises attached to the different sections of the ladder and has an aperture for receiving a clevis pin which is passed through the clevis and connecting link to attach the waterway to the selected ladder section. To firmly lock the waterway to the ladder section, a rotatable shaft, supported by bearings and having one end attached to the off-set axis of the cam, is rotated by means of a handle located on the exterior of the bracket. The rotation of the shaft and cam urge the waterway bracket against a step on the selected ladder section and thus securely lock the waterway in place.
