  • Patent number: 4182089
    Abstract: Spaced apart webs extend between upright sidewalls of a block having parallel upper and lower surfaces. A plurality of the blocks are placed in staggered linear courses to form a wall. Projections extending upwardly from the webs of the blocks are secured in the spaces between the webs of the blocks of the successive course. The projections interlock with the sidewalls for lateral alignment of the blocks, and are spaced from the webs for longitudinal adjustment of the blocks. Corner blocks and end blocks are also provided.

  • Patent number: 4154400
    Abstract: A collar, slidably carried upon the barrel of a wand-type spray gun, is normally urged rearward against a stop by a compression spring. Disposed between the stop and the collar is a ring-like member which rocks relative the barrel using the edge of the collar as a fulcrum. The ring-like member abuts a lip extending radially inward from the forward end of a holder tube and prevents expulsion of the spray gun in response to the rearward force from the emission of high pressure fluid from the nozzle of the spray gun. Slight pressure upon the handle readily withdraws the spray gun from the holder and tapered fins carried by the collar. A ramp depending from the lip guides the spray gun into the holder.
