  • Publication number: 20220281548
    Abstract: A folding hook device with an elongated arm folds vertically from a support bracket. The elongated arm is vertically supported in a horizontal orientation by a protrusion. The protrusion extends from a pivot portion disposed on a side of the elongated arm opposite a hook end. The protrusion has a first abutment face. The support bracket has a second abutment face. The second abutment face cooperates with the first abutment face to limit rotation of the elongated arm. A method of using the device includes mounting the device on a vertical surface, such as a body of a golfcart. The elongated arm is pivoted into a horizontal orientation. An object may hang, rest, or be supported by the device when deployed in the horizontal orientation. The elongated arm is stowed by pivoting the elongated arm into a vertical orientation.

  • Publication number: 20220081924
    Abstract: A grain bin fan support has a first bracket. The first bracket has a vertical mounting plate to mount the grain bin fan support to a grain bin foundation. The bracket also has a pivot plate extending perpendicular from the vertical mounting plate. The pivot plate has a central pivot aperture, an upper aligning aperture that is arcuate with the central pivot aperture at the center point, and a lower aligning aperture that is arcuate with the central pivot aperture at the center point. A first support member is cantilevered upon the grain bin foundation by the pivot plate. The first support member has a frame forming an isosceles triangle. A first frame aperture is aligned with a line of symmetry of the frame. The grain bin fan support has a platform. The bracket, support member, and the platform have bilateral symmetry.
