Abstract: An improved mechanic's creeper includes an integrated light bar having a plurality of lights that are powered by a rechargeable battery. A conventional rechargeable battery, for example a 19.2 volt battery, is charged in a charging cradle then engaged with the creeper for use. The mechanic uses the creeper in the ordinary manner, except may flip a switch for light as desired. The light bar pivots, thereby allowing the mechanic to illuminate underneath a car while working. After use the battery may be returned to the charging cradle for subsequent use. In an alternative embodiment the creeper is powered by a solar panel.

Abstract: A waste container contains at the bottom, a panel fastened on a base forming between them a tube having one end blocked and the other end open. A slot in the panel extends the length of the tube and has an open end beyond the open end of the tube. Finger grips in the panel beyond the open end of the tube enable one to tilt up the open end of the slot for simultaneously loading a roll of liner bags in the tube and one bag from the roll in the slot by the open ends of the tube and slot.

Abstract: A storage rod for temporarily supporting liners for a container is mounted by one end of the rod to the bottom side of a wall having a slot for passing the liners through the wall from the bottom side to the top side of the wall. The attachment to the wall supports the rod with the other end of the rod unsupported for receiving the liners. The end of the rod receiving the liners is unobstructed, for access to the rod coaxially with the rod by a roll of liners for sliding them on the rod. A handle is at one end of the slot and generally normal to the slot to avoid uncontrolled twist of an operator's fingers when handling the assembly.

Abstract: A pre-formed gift wrapper dimensioned to gift wrap a box of predetermined standard size in a matter of seconds includes a bag-like sleeve of paper which in its operational shape accommodates snugly the box which is inserted into an open end thereof. Cardboard guide and support members are adhered to the inner side walls of the sleeve and reinforce same along the entire width and length of the walls to support the wrapper in its operational shape and continuously guide the box as it is inserted into the wrapper. These members as well as the paper sleeve are scored to enable the ends thereof to be folded flat against the end of the box to completely close the gift wrapper about the box so that it is gift wrapped. Also the paper sleeve is scored to allow folding of the support members to place the wrapper in a flattened condition for storage.
