  • Patent number: 4216957
    Abstract: First and second support structures are removably mounted on a cross bar at the first and second ends thereof, respectively. Each of the first and second support structures has first and second pipes each having spaced opposite first and second ends with a closed loop at the first end mounted coaxially around the cross bar. The second end of each of the first and second pipes is open. A strut having spaced opposite first and second ends is pivotally affixed at its first end to the first pipe at the second end of the first pipe and releasably coupled at its second end to the second pipe at the second end of the second pipe. Each of four legs is coaxially removably adjustably mounted in a corresponding one of the first and second pipes of the first and second support structures at the open ends thereof.

  • Patent number: 4181250
    Abstract: An inner door is pivotally mounted adjacent one of the sides of a newspaper tube in the newspaper tube at a predetermined distance from the open mouth thereof and is rotatable perpendicularly to the top and bottom of the tube. A spring-biased device abuts the inner door and urges it to its closed position perpendicular to the sides of the tube. An outer door is pivotally mounted adjacent the top of the newspaper tube adjacent the open mouth of the tube between the inner door and the open mouth and is rotatable perpendicularly to the sides of the tube. The outer door is restrained in its open position by a lip extending perpendicularly from an edge of the inner door adjacent and parallel to the top of the tube and extending toward the open mouth of the tube. The lip of the inner door abuts the outer surface of the outer door in the area of the top edge of the outer door when the inner door is closed.
