  • Patent number: 7086702
    Abstract: A compactable kneeling stool apparatus includes a base portion and a seat portion which is operably coupled to the base portion via a seat post member disposed between the seat portion and the base portion. The pivot connection selectively enables the seat post member to pivot with respect to the base portion, thereby selectively adjusting a height dimension defined between the seat portion and the base portion to a desired one of a plurality of distinct pivot positions about an axis defined by the pivot connection. The selective adjustment is preferably provided by a releasable locking mechanism that is operable with the seat post member to selectively position the seat portion in a desired one of a plurality of distinct predetermined locations with respect to the base portion.

  • Patent number: 6315310
    Abstract: A portable vessel receptacle which includes a combination of a frame, preferably a wheeled frame supporting a bucket container or vessel. The vessel is a generally cylindrical open top receiver having a lifting handle, and optionally being provided with a fabric tool carrying cowl. The lower portion of the bucket is releasably secured to the frame by means of a positionally adjustable clamping pad along with a pair of arcuately spaced radially inwardly extending gussets which are secured to the frame, thereby facilitating an additional lifting mechanism for the entire assembly. For added stability, the top portion of the bucket or vessel is reliably releasably secured to the frame by means of a “J” hook or claw which is adjustably positioned on an upright or vertical handle, with the claw engaging and restraining the vessel at a point adjacent the upper edge thereof, preferably being engaged with the handle receiving projections on the outer surface of the bucket.
