Abstract: An automatic boot cleaning apparatus is provided. The apparatus has at least three brushes and a scraper. The brushes are positioned to apply scrubbing force to the underside of the sole of a boot or shoe, as well as the sides of the boot or shoe. The scraper is positioned behind the brushes and may be used to remove the excess mud or dirt from the boot or shoe. The apparatus is preferably powered by an AC motor which is connected to a source of AC power. The brushes may be rotated continuously in one direction, or oscillated thereby increasing the effectiveness of the cleaning operation. In an alternative embodiment, the device is connected to a source of fluid pressure and has a plurality of fluid outlet nozzles secured to the scraper. The nozzles are arranged to spray fluid directly onto the brushes and thus are capable of effecting a self cleaning operation. The entire housing, including the activation switch, is sealed against environmental effects allowing for outdoor use.

Abstract: A key case is provided which allows for the exclusive selection of individual keys. The case has a plurality of compartments capable of holding one or two keys. The compartments may be zippered or have an access door. In a first embodiment the main body of the case is made out of leather or fabric. Each key compartment is accessed by way of a zipper which allows for the keys to be selectively available for manipulation by the user. In another embodiment the case is rigid and has an access door for each compartment. Opening the access door allows access to the keys. In both embodiments the key is attached to the interior of the key compartments by a relatively long chain which allows the user to use the key while the key case is still attached to the users belt, purse, etc. The case is provided with a velcro patch which allows it to be secured to vertical surfaces such as the dashboard of an automobile.

Abstract: A motorized collapsible platform assembly which is adapted to be removably attached to a vertical support surface is provided. The assembly has a rotatable platform which may be rotated from a vertical storage position to a horizontal position providing a horizontal work surface. The assembly has a telescoping vertical support member which allows for adjusting the size of the work surface. The vertical support member is connected to a rigid horizontal ledge to which the rotatable platform is hingedly attached. The platform can be remotely rotated by a motor which is attached to the vertical support member and has a drive shaft connected to the underside of the platform.
