Abstract: A container mixing stand for securing a container for mixing includes a base plate, a first holding member connected to the base plate and a second holding member movably connected to the base plate and spaced from the first holding member for receiving a container between the first and second holding members. The stand also includes a first pulley assembly having a lever arm movable between a rest position and a tensioning position, and a second pulley assembly coupled with both the second holding member and the first pulley assembly. Movement of the first pulley assembly from the rest position to the tensioning position causes the second pulley assembly to move the second holding member into contact with the container for securing the container in position during mixing.

Abstract: The kerfed edges of wall panels attached to H-studs by engagement of the stud flanges within the kerfs are protected against breakage by panel bracing ribs installed within the wall cavity by insertion of the ribs into apertures located in the webs of the studs. Said ribs are bowed wafers of plastic or other flexible material having a notched tab at each end. Insertion of the vertically oriented tabs into said apertures and rotation of the bow to orient said tabs horizontally secures the bracing rib to the stud.
