Abstract: An apparatus and system for storing and transporting fluids, the apparatus comprising a pair of collars, each collar comprising three panels, and a storage container, the storage container having a shape generally of a triangular prism. One of the pair of collars being attached proximate a top of the storage tank, the other of the pair of collars being attached proximate the bottom of the storage tank. The storage container having a generally triangular top plate with at least one port, a generally triangular bottom plate with the top and bottom plate having shapes that generally correspond, and a sidewall extending between the top and bottom plate. Each collar may comprise three elongated panels, each panel having a joining structure at opposite ends, wherein joining structures of the elongated panels are configured for connection adjacent joining structures of another panel to operably connect the three panels.

Abstract: The present invention involves a device for holding and transporting a gas cylinder. The device, a hand truck, has an arm portion having a lip portion mounted thereon. The device also has at least one stabilizing peg mounted to the lip portion with two wheels mounted to the lip portion. The at least one stabilizing peg is sized and configured to engage the stabilizing ring of the gas cylinder placed on the lip portion. Optionally, a hook may be attached to the arm portion such that the hook may engage the gas cylinder. The arm portion may further comprise a handle portion pivotable between a raised position and a collapsed position. The handle portion is lockable in the raised position and the lowered position. The arm portion further comprises a cradle portion sized and configured to engage and stabilize the gas cylinder. The gas cylinder, having a stabilizing ring, may be tilted forward, and the hand truck may then be positioned to engage the cylinder.

Abstract: The present invention involves a sealing member assembly used as a fluid and debris barrier for use in association with the extendable walls of an extension unit for a structure. The sealing member assembly includes a frame attached to the structure, a sealing member slideably coupled to the frame and bearing against the extendable walls of the structure, and a biasing member biasing the sealing member away from the frame and against the extendable walls.

Abstract: The present invention includes a rail system for securing a roofing sheet to a structure having a roof and at least one wall. The rail system includes a rail and a clamping member. The rail includes a wall mounting portion, a ledge extending from a lower portion of the wall mounting portion and a lip extending from the wall mounting portion and forming a recess between the lip and the wall mounting portion. The wall mounting portion is adapted to be mounted on the wall of the structure. The clamping member has a first end and a second end. When the roofing sheet is positioned over the rail, the first end of the clamp member fits within the recess and the opposing second end presses the roofing sheet against the ledge to thereby hold the clamp to the rail by interference fit and to clamp the roofing sheet between the rail and the clamping member.

Abstract: The present invention involves a window trim system with a bracket and trim ring, and a method of installing the same. The window trim system includes a clamping bracket which is press fit and screwed into preformed channels in the window frame. The clamping bracket has a receiving portion, such as a depression or catch, for interfitting with an engagement portion of the trim ring, such as a protrusion or catch. A trim ring is then snapped into place over the clamping bracket, thus hiding the screw head from sight. Advantageously, the window trim system is capable of securing the window frame to the vehicle wall with a minimal number of brackets and screws.

Abstract: The present invention involves an extension unit for a structure, such as a recreational vehicle or manufactured housing component. The recreational vehicle or manufactured housing component structure has an exterior wall, and the extension unit provides additional interior space for the structure when in a deployed position. The extension unit comprises a floor, a roof, a first wall extending between the floor and roof, a second wall operably coupled to the first wall and extending between the floor and roof, a pivotal connection linking the first wall and one of the second wall and exterior wall, and a biasing mechanism for biasing the first wall into the other of the second wall and exterior wall in the deployed condition. The pivotal connection links the first wall to the second wall, while the biasing mechanism biases an edge of the first wall into the exterior wall in both the deployed position and the retracted position.
