  • Patent number: 4485956
    Abstract: An improved nailing tool for supporting and driving a nail in which an elongated tubular guide sleeve member has means at one end for releasably retaining a nail to be driven and a hand grip at the opposite end. The nail driving rod is axially slidable in an elongated tubular guide sleeve member in which the lower end engages the nail retaining means and the upper end extends beyond the hand grip with the nail retaining means having an anvil in which there is an axial bore for cooperatively receiving a nail head therein with the anvil having a substantially planar driving rod impact surface on the face of the anvil opposite from the bore. Means are included in the axial bore for releasably engaging a nail head upon axial displacement of the nail driving rod in the guide sleeve member.

  • Patent number: 4371298
    Abstract: A knockdown disposable vehicle ramp for shipment of vehicles securely fastened to the floor of container to elevate and support one end of a wheeled vehicle in nesting alignment with another wheeled vehicle whereby a series of in-line vehicles may be positioned within a single container for shipment with each of the disposable ramps being secured in position during vehicle loading. Each of the disposable ramps is constructed of corrugated fiberboard and positioned to support the loads to which the ramp may be subjected with each ramp being provided with an inclined plane on which the wheel of a vehicle may be elevated for positioning to a wheel well on the ramp for cooperatively supporting a wheel mounted on the vehicle. Ramp and wheel well reinforcing means are positioned to support loads to which the ramp is subjected. A wheel-mounted harness securely retains the vehicle-mounted wheel on the ramp wheel well limiting vehicle displacement.
