Abstract: A motor vehicle mounted ramp for loading and unloading a personal mobility vehicle such as a wheelchair or a three-wheel scooter. A storage platform is removably attached to a floor of the motor vehicle, e.g., a van, and provides both a support surface for the personal mobility vehicle and a storage area for a ramp used during loading and unloading. The ramp is pulled from its storage area and pivots along an axis formed by its connection with the storage platform, such that the leading edge of the ramp rests against a ground surface. A winch attached to the storage platform is then used to move the personal mobility vehicle up or down the ramp.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, there is provided an eyeglass temple piece protector that is prepared with a first elongate strip of plastic material superposed on a second elongate strip of plastic material to form a hollow sleeve. The sleeve has a front side, a back side, a closed end, and an open end. The sleeve is further adapted to receive a temple piece of a pair of eyeglasses from the open end to the closed end. The front side of the sleeve extends beyond the backside of the sleeve to form a flange at the open end. Also provided in accordance with the invention is a method to manufacture an eyeglass temple protector. In the method a first and second sheet of plastic material, each sheet having a length, a width, and an edge are provided. The first sheet is superposed on the second sheet such that the edge of the first sheet is parallel to, but not flush with, the edge of the second sheet, so that a flange is formed in the second sheet.

Abstract: A device for holding a flexible plastic refuse bag comprises a continuous rectangular bag-supporting loop and a coextensive annular clamping frame which snaps in place over the loop, gripping the bag in place. A flat scoop is attached to the clamping frame, and a handle on the opposite side from the scoop enables easy manipulation of the device. A mounting sleeve receives the handle for wall-mounting.
