Abstract: Plastics recycling apparatus in which an elongated tubular body has a core member therein and in which the core member has leading and trailing conical heads for directing the flow of molten material through the elongated tubular body. Inner and outer annular chambers are provided for the flow of material through a wall between the chambers while the material is being heated by energized coils about one of the chambers. The material flows to the discharge under pressure and passes through discharge orifices to form plastic ribbons which are cooled and then cut into pellets for reuse.

Abstract: A receptacle for a paint can and brushes is mounted for quick release to a support bracket, which in turn is pivotally attached to a clamping bracket, adapted to be clamped to the side rail of the ladder. The pivotal attachment between the ladder clamping bracket and the receptacle support bracket insures that the paint can remains level regardless of ladder inclination. In addition, the brush well is conveniently positioned between the paint can support housing and the clamping mechanism to provide a depository for brushes when not in use. A passageway between the brush well and the paint can housing allows excess paint to drip back into the housing and, because of the construction of the bottom wall of the paint can housing, be kept out of contact with the bottom of the paint can.
