Abstract: A snow shovel/scraper comprises a blade in form of a flat sheet of metal which has three transverse bend lines defining a base panel, a narrow scraping edge along the forward edge of the base panel, and a pair of receptacle panels which extend upwardly from the rear edge of the base panel for carrying the snow forwardly. The blade is attached to a handle arrangement in the form of a pair of rails which are adjustable in length. The upper end of each rail includes a shoulder engaging portion having a curved projection at right angles to the rail and at right angles to the scraping edge to fit into the underarm area of the user. In between the upper end and the blade is mounted a crossbar which can be adjusted along the length of the rails and to space the rails at a required spacing. The crossbar has a pair of handles turned downwardly from the rails at either side of the rails for grasping by the hands of the user with the shoulders under the upper curved portions.

Abstract: A removable handle for a barbecue basket having an attached mounting bracket with spaced apart flange portions, each flange portion having an opening of a predetermined shape. The handle comprises elongated tong arms connected together by an integral flexible portion at one end with a projection at an outer unconnected end of each said tong arm. The projection is shaped in cross-section so as to extend and seat within the flange openings in the mounting bracket so as to retain the handle at different selected angles relative to the basket. A spring urges the tong arms apart so that the end projections will be held in engagement with the mounting bracket when placed within the bracket openings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for mounting a wheel hub (1) on a stub axle (2) of a non-driven wheel in a motor vehicle. The device comprises an outside bearing (5) in the vicinity of the outside free end of the stub axle (2) and an inside bearing (6) in the vicinity of the inside end of the stub axle (2) joined to a steering knuckle (3) or the like. According to the invention, the outside bearing (5) is an anti-friction bearing mounted between the interior surface of the wheel hub (1) and the stub axle (2) for absorbing both radial loads and axial loads, and the inside bearing (6) is an anti-friction bearing mounted between the exterior surface of the wheel hub (1) and the steering knuckle (3) or the like for absorbing only radial loads.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an adjustable hinge assembly for a vehicle closure or deck lid which can be readily, vertically adjusted to enable the closure or deck lid to be positioned so as to be flush with adjacent exterior body structure of the vehicle when in a closed position. The assembly includes a hinge box, a vertical slide which carries a hinge pivot, adjustment means for vertically raising and lowering the slide and cooperable guides on the slide and hinge box for guiding the movement of the slide in a vertical path.

Abstract: An ostomy bag holder has a pair of diverging spring arms which have hooks on their free ends. These arms are joined to a handle which carries a tether line that is provided with a weighted end. The spring arm hooks are engageable with apertured tabs on a mouth rim of an ostomy bag so that the bag can be handled and manipulated during its emptying and cleaning.

Abstract: The u-shaped detachable handle, for use with paint cans and other receptacles having bails, has a base plate, a connecting plate and a grip extending horizontally above the base plate. The handle is anchored to the receptacle by a rim hook which engages with the receptacle rim and a cam latch mounted to the lower surface of the base plate which seats against the receptacle wall. The handle is also anchored by the receptacle bail which is received by a hook formed at the remote end of the handle. A handle cover surrounding the grip cushions the detachable handle.
