Abstract: The top of a jigsaw puzzle box is propped at an angle for easy viewing by the person constructing the puzzle, by means of a simple and inexpensive easel attached to the underside of the box top, much like a framed photo is propped on a table or dresser. The easel is preferably attached to the inside of the box top at the time of manufacture and is ready to be used immediately after opening the box. It may, however, be free inside the box along with the puzzle pieces, and be adhered in the appropriate location by the purchaser just after opening the box. In addition, the easels may be sold as separate stand-alone items for attachment to existing puzzle boxes.

Abstract: A pair of workgloves are provided with rake tines at the ends of the fingers. The tines extend outwardly from the palm side of the gloves so as to enable the gloves to be used in a raking fashion to clean debris such as leaves from rake-inaccessible places which can be reached by hand.
