Abstract: A support device for utilization on a ladder comprising an elongate base member having a pair of long edges, between which a mounting device is provided such that the base member can be secured to an upper part of a ladder. An elongate receptacle extends for substantially the entire length of the base member, with the ends as well as the upper portion of the receptacle being open, and with a restraint device defined in a mid portion of the receptacle. A slidable member of elongate configuration is provided, having a dimension such as to be able to reside in the elongate receptacle. The slidable member has first and second ends as well as a longitudinal centerline, with a slot extending along the centerline for a substantial portion of the length of the slidable member, with the slot extending relatively close to the first end of the slidable member. A component support device is provided on the second end.

Abstract: A device is provided for use on vehicles having the gas tank inlet opening located behind a license plate, to hold the license plate open for access to the gas tank inlet opening. The device has a clip which is attached to a backing plate to which the license plate is attached. A second portion of the device is rotatably attached to said clip and is spring-biased with respect to the clip. When the license plate is in the open position, the second portion of this device has an arm which can be positioned to engage an adjacent surface of the bumper, or another adjacent surface of the vehicle. When the lever is placed in this position, the force of the spring will hold the license plate and backing plate in the open position. The second portion also includes a wire member, comprised of a single piece of wire, having its ends wrapped around the clip.
