Abstract: This invention relates to polygonal frame structures made from anisotropic materials, and methods for their construction. The polygonal frame structures include at least one frame member that is constructed as a torsion box. The torsion box is constructed with layers of anisotropic materials, resulting in a lightweight, torsionally stiff polygonal frame. Natural and/or man-made anisotropic materials may be used. Wood may be used as a natural anisotropic material. The invention is applicable to bicycles and other vehicles, as well as other products, where frame structures having light weight and torsional stiffness are advantageous.

Abstract: A worktable having first and second portions that are removably coupled to one another. When the first and second portions are decoupled from one another they can be arranged into free-standing positions where they can be used as sawhorses.

Abstract: A workbench with a collapsible frame and a plurality of top members. The collapsible frame can include a first set of legs and a second set of legs can be coupled to one of the top members. The frame and top members can be positioned and supported by the first and second sets of legs to form a pair of free standing structures that can be employed as work benches and/or saw horses.

Abstract: A sprayer that delivers a pattern of paint that can be obtained from a container. The sprayer generally includes a sprayer body that emits the pattern with the paint. The sprayer also includes a reservoir including a cavity that when connected thereto provides the paint to the sprayer body. The reservoir includes a cylinder and a piston assembly manually movable in the cylinder to draw the paint into the cylinder when the reservoir is connected to the container.
