  • Patent number: 7913349
    Abstract: A hand-held scraper device containing a stowable multi blade pivoting head. The pivoting head is comprised of at least two scraping elements which remain at a fixed angle relative to each other while still allowing a pivoting action of the head assembly independently from the handle. The angle of the scraping elements relative to each other is set such that as the two scraping elements are jointly presented against the work surface they will be maintained at an angular attitude conducive to a scraping action in both a push and pull direction. The pivoting head can be collapsed for more efficient stowage or as an alternate configuration for specific scraping applications.

  • Patent number: 6681970
    Abstract: A deployable roof mounted equipment rack apparatus especially suited for tall vehicles. The device contains a carriage that can be manually deployed from its horizontal position on the vehicle's roof to a near vertical position on either side of the vehicle using rollers guided by a fixed set of roof mounted tracks. The device is designed to accept commercially available equipment mounting hardware to allow attachment of various types of cargo. The carriage latches automatically when stowed on the rooftop tracks. The carriage can be removed from the vehicle once unlatched and readily collapsed to facilitate remote storage.
