Abstract: A sawhorse having an elongated support member; a pair of elongated support rest bracket members; at least one pair of facing channel members bound to each of the support rest bracket members; a mounting bolt secured within and between the mounting bolt aperture of each facing channel member; a pair of sawhorse leg bracket members pivotally slidably disposed to each mounting bolt and each securing an end of a sawhorse leg; and a helical spring mounted around each of the mounting bolts and between each of the pair of leg bracket members. A process for collapsing a sawhorse for storing and/or transporting the same comprising compressing the helical spring on each mounting bolt by inwardly pivoting each pair of sawhorse legs; clearing the sawhorse leg bracket members out of the channels of the channel members; aligning the legs in a general relationship; and rotating each pair of legs towards the underside of the elongated support member.

Abstract: A hand truck has a frame; a pair of rotating bars rotatably attaching to the frame. Each bar includes a wheel rotatably attached thereon, a handle attached to one end of the bar and a first gear connected to the other end. Handle release and locking members are attached to the frame and lock the wheels and the handle either in an outward operative position or in a closed storing position. A support bar is rotatably connected to the frame. A second gear is attached to each end of the support bar and meshes with the first gear on each side of the pair of rotating bars. A load support plate is bound to the support bar in order to support a load when the wheels and handle are in the outward operative position.

Abstract: A device and process for removing water from a river, pond, or the like. The device comprises a means for removing water through the device; a water intake chamber having a roof with a base periphery defining a water intake opening, and water exit aperture; a base plate; a hose exit means interconnecting the means for removing and the water exit aperture; a means for filtering the water being removed through the device; and an air chamber circumscribing the roof of said water intake chamber. The process comprises suspending by air means in the water the device; intaking water through the device; and filtering simultaneously to the intaking step the intaking water.
