  • Patent number: 11505227
    Abstract: A dolly includes a frame having an axle extending between dolly wheels and defining a pivot axis. The frame has a support member with a ground-engaging element spaced apart from the dolly wheels. A lever arm is mounted to the frame and extends to a handle. The lever arm is positioned on a first side of the axle. A container support is mounted to the frame on the first side of the axle. The handle is manipulable to pivot the support member, the lever arm, and the container support about the pivot axis between at least a storage position and a discharge position. In the storage position, the container axis has an upright orientation and the ground-engaging element is spaced from the ground surface. In the discharge position, the container axis has an orientation being substantially parallel to the ground surface, and the ground-engaging element abuts against the ground surface.

  • Patent number: 9957726
    Abstract: A displaceable floor trowel for applying a flowable material to a floor surface includes a body having a back wall and two spaced apart guide walls extending forwardly from the back wall. A blade assembly for applying the flowable material includes a blade disposed behind the back wall. At least one connection member connects the blade to the body such that the blade is moveable to selectively engage the bottom application edge with the flowable material. A connection between the connection member(s) and the blade or the body is configurable in first and second alternate configurations. In the first configuration, the connection member(s) maintain the bottom application edge at a constant orientation with respect to the body. In the second configuration, the connection member(s) allow a variation of the orientation of the bottom application edge with respect to the body.
