Abstract: An improved door closing apparatus (20) is adapted for use with a door frame (21) that comprises an elongated header (22), a sill (23) and a pair of side jambs (24, 25). A door (26) is adapted to be mounted on the frame for pivotal movement about an axis (y—y). The improved comprises a base (29) adapted to be mounted on the header, a closer mechanism (30) mounted on the base and having a first shaft (31) adapted to be oriented perpendicularly with respect to the axis of elongation of the header. The closer mechanism is operatively arranged to selectively urge the first shaft to rotate relative to the closer mechanism. A second shaft (33) is mounted on the base for pivotal movement relative thereto. The second shaft is substantially aligned with the pivotal excess of the door. First and second arms (34, 35) are mounted on the first and second shafts, respectively, for movement therewith.

Abstract: A dolly which may be used in pairs to clampingly engage respective ends of heavy elongate objects followed by upward movement of one frame relative to another to lift the object so that it may be easily and safely transported.
