Abstract: An improved exercise device of the type attached to wheelchairs includes a frame having vertical and horizontal portions which support operatively connected, rotating handlebars and foot pedals for imparting movement to the arms and legs of a patient. The weight and height/length dimensions of the device are balanced with those dimensions of standard wheelchairs to create stability. The device further includes means for rendering the guide wheels of the chair stationary, and an improved lift mechanism for lifting or lowering the front wheels of the chair off/on the floor so that the device can be utilized in a stationary position or to drive the chair. The lift mechanism includes an externally threaded rod operatively mounted in an internally threaded shaft. A handle is attached to the upper end of the rod and a swivel-mounted rotation wheel or caster is mounted to the opposite end.

Abstract: A receptacle for a paint can and brushes is mounted for quick release to a support bracket, which in turn is pivotally attached to a clamping bracket, adapted to be clamped to the side rail of the ladder. The pivotal attachment between the ladder clamping bracket and the receptacle support bracket insures that the paint can remains level regardless of ladder inclination. In addition, the brush well is conveniently positioned between the paint can support housing and the clamping mechanism to provide a depository for brushes when not in use. A passageway between the brush well and the paint can housing allows excess paint to drip back into the housing and, because of the construction of the bottom wall of the paint can housing, be kept out of contact with the bottom of the paint can.

Abstract: A shield is snap fit onto the upper rim of a conventional paint can and serves the dual purpose of providing a place for scraping excess paint from a paint brush as it is withdrawn from the paint can and at the same time, preventing the removed paint from running down the sides of the can and getting into the upper channel or groove. Structurally, the device includes an annular shield member having depending snap attachment means for releasably attaching the shield to the upper rim of the can and a pair of vertically and horizontally spaced, annular wire scraping members supported above the upper surface of the shield against which the brush is pressed to remove excess paint therefrom.

Abstract: A combination paint can support and brush receptacle is releasably clamped to the side rail of a ladder and is freely pivotal about the clamp for maintaining a level can and brush well regardless of ladder inclination. In addition, the brush receptacle is an open top pocket conveniently positioned between the paint can support and the clamp to provide a convenient depository for brushes when not in use.
