Abstract: A knife guard suitable for various type cutting or chopping blades is provided and utilizes a plurality of elongated members which are hinged together and biased by the hinges and/or separate a biasing arm toward a first closed position wherein at least one of the elongated members covers or protects the blade. The guard can be moved to a stable, second open position wherein the one elongated element is moved out in front of the blade, but yet can move quickly back into its closed first position to prevent unintentional injury or damage.

Abstract: An automobile dolly for supporting the front end of a front wheel drive vehicle during transmission repair having a wheel supported frame sufficiently narrow to pass between the tracks of a vehicle hoist. In one embodiment front and rear tubular transverse supports are attached to the frame and spaced inward from and above the tracks, each support having a pair of opposed transversely adjustable sleeves telescopically engaging the tubular transverse supports and adapted for projecting over the tracks when positioned between the same. A vertically adjustable support member is attached to each opposed front sleeve and configured to abut and support the vehicle. In a second embodiment the frame pivotally mounts a single transverse support which includes adjustable sleeves adapted to telescopically project over the tracks. The sleeves have vertical support members for receiving and supporting the frame of the vehicle to permit the vehicle to be moved by means of the dolly.

Abstract: An automobile dolly for supporting the front end of a front wheel drive vehicle during transmission repair. The dolly of the present invention comprises a wheel supported frame sufficiently narrow to pass between the tracks of a vehicle hoist. A rear tubular transverse support is attached to the frame and inward from and spaced above the tracks, with a pair of opposed transversely adjustable rear sleeves telescopically engaging the rear tubular transverse support and adjustably projecting over the tracks. A vertically adjustable support member is attached to each opposed rear sleeve and configured to abut and support the vehicle. A front tubular transverse support is spaced from the rear tubular transverse support and attached to the frame and is spaced inward from and above the tracks. A pair of opposed transversely adjustable front sleeves telescopingly engage the front tubular transverse support to adjustably project over the tracks.
