Abstract: A pipe repair apparatus is provided. The pipe repair apparatus includes a cap. The cap includes a cylinder shape having a front edge forming an opening into the cap, a rear edge forming an opening into the cap, and at least a first side edge and a second side edge. The cap may further include a cap flange formed at the front edge having a first bend in a direction towards a central longitudinal axis of the cap and a second bend in a direction away from the central longitudinal axis of the cap. The cap is sized to fit over a pipe so that the first side edge overlaps the second side edge. A clamp secures the cap to the pipe.

Abstract: A feeder of hay-like livestock feed including types of feed being provided as, or mixed in with one or more of straw, grass-like plant stems, grains and shafted grains; the feeder comprising: a hay holding cage that has a gridwork of horizontal as well as vertical bars that create openings sized to limit livestock to pulling out only a mouthful of hay at a time, thereby reducing wasted hay dropped on the ground, wherein opening is 1 to 2.5 inches larger than muzzle dimensions for the animals to be fed, a skirt rail at a height matching a toe to brisket dimension of cattle; a top opening sized for length of bale, and bottom of grid spaced to get about 32? from cage side to outside of top skirt rail=average brisket to muzzle/nose dimension for cattle an inverted pyramid-like funnel with four sides (gridwork on all 4 if square/equal-sided pyr); or (long rectangular cage is V trough with flat vertical ends covered by panels, and four corner legs supporting top of cage.

Abstract: A towable elevatable stand includes a platform that is always elevated above a trailer bed to at least a minimum elevation, but can be easily raised to selected elevations up to almost double the minimum elevation. This allows for carrying ATV, supplies, etc. on the trailer bed under the platform. Telescoping corner posts with latch pins for securing the platform at selected elevations can be combined with a simple winch, pulleys and cables for raising/lowering the platform. Commercially available parts, light weight materials, and a simple elevating apparatus produce a light weight, cost effective stand that is easy to use, tow and maintain, and which minimizes wind resistance. The platform is perforated for drainage and light weight, and the blind is a pop-up tent that is stowed for towing.
