Abstract: A liquid dispensing mechanism contained in a handle of a cleaning implement. The handle includes internal upper and lower valve assemblies sealably mounted within the handle to provide an air tight chamber therebetween for holding liquid. The upper valve assembly includes a push button actuator for introducing air into the chamber. The lower valve assembly includes a dispensing outlet for discharging the liquid from the chamber. When air is introduced into the air tight chamber through the upper valve assembly, a corresponding amount of liquid is dispensed from the chamber and out from the handle through the dispensing outlet.

Abstract: An adjustable holding device whereby different handled objects such as tools brooms and the like may be vertically hung. The holding device is adjustable and can retain handled objects of various widths. The adjustable holding device can either be directly mounted to a wall or can be retained in an elongated support bracket. The elongated support bracket can retain several adjustable holding devices, which allow several different handled objects to be hung vertically in side-by-side relation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reusable clasp for retaining a container. The reusable clasp includes a first and a second member, the first member having a stud projecting therefrom, and a ball at an end thereof for locking with an annular space in the second member. The reusable clasp can be folded about an edge of the container to be retained and the first member is forced through the container and interlocked with the second member thereafter retaining the container.

Abstract: The present invention is a manually propelled utility cart having a base, an intermediate slideable tray, and a top tray. The base includes wheels for movement of the utility cart along the floor surface. Vertical structural support members are provided for supporting the intermediate tray and the top tray vertically upward from the base. The intermediate tray has an adjustable positioning assembly and is in releasably slideable engagement with the vertical support members. The top tray includes molded utensil clips and has a handle with an integral trash bag retention portion. The upper tray also has upper support member engaging portions. The vertical structural support members includes at least one hollow rod structural member which is engaged and secured in compression between upper and lower support post engagement portions.

Abstract: A utility cart having a mechanism to retain plastic bags or the like is disclosed. The mechanism includes a first U-shaped member in a horizontal plane adapted to receive plastic bags or the like. A second member interlocks the plastic bag or the like on the first member to enable trash to be deposited into the secured plastic bag.

Abstract: An elongated squared-C channel extruded from a polymeric material carries one or more like-configured holding devices whereby different handled objects such as tools, brooms and the like may be hung vertically in side-by-side relation. The channel retains and allows selective positioning of the devices therealong and each device has fixed and movable gripping means which rely on gravity to produce a gripping force on the handle.

Abstract: The present invention is a manually propelled utility cart having a base, an intermediate slidable tray, and a top tray. The base includes wheels for movement of the utility cart along the floor surface. The base includes a utility tray, lower support post engaging portions and a mop bucket carrying portion. The mop bucket carrying portion includes caster curbs for restraining movement of a castered mop bucket carried on the mop bucket carrying portion, and has a draining surface and drain and drain plug for selectively retaining or draining spillage from the bucket. Vertical support members are provided for supporting the intermediate tray and the top tray vertically upward from the base. The intermediate tray has adjustable positioning and is in slidable engagement with the vertical support members. The top tray includes molded utensil clips and has a handle with an integral trash bag retention portion. The upper tray also has upper support member engaging portions.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to the field of bail mounting structures. The bail mounting device of the present invention provides for an essentially non-removable bail. This non-removability is accomplished by a bail mounting device comprising an elongated planar member, an aperture in the planar member, a recess on the planar member concentric with the aperture, and a retaining means positioned in the recess for securing the bail into the mounting device. The mounting device is positioned in a mounting receptacle on a container. The bail is inserted through an aperture in the outer wall of the receptacle, through the elongated planar member, through the retaining means and finally nesting in a recess in the wall of the container, thus, providing a virtually non-removable bail for a container.
