Abstract: A container support has two legs attached on opposite sides of a container with a third leg attached to one of the legs attached to the container. The third leg pivots to minimize its projection when carrying the container from place to place with the support attached. By making the pivoting leg slightly longer than the leg to which it is attached, the third leg can be set in its extended position by merely rotating the container. Attaching brackets provide for the correct leg angle and easy attachment and detachment of the legs using a force fit between the back of the bracket and the container wall. The use of square tubing and mating attachment bracket for the container-attached legs maintains the correct angles for the support structure.

Abstract: A jack for forcing adjoining boards or sheathing into close proximity or contact with one another and holding them in such a position while they are fastened to supporting joists or rafters. The device consists of a housing that is adapted to engage the joist or rafter. A slot is formed lengthwise in the housing and adjoins a side of the joist or rafter. A wedge is positioned in the slot so as to wedge itself between the housing and the supporting joist or rafter and hold the tool in a fixed position relative to the supporting joist or rafter. A lever is pivotally attached to the housing and has an attached pusher to engage the edge of a board or sheathing and move it into proximity or contact with an adjoining board that has been already affixed to the joist or rafter. A simple wedge or inclined plane minimizes the number of moving parts in the invention and produces a wedging force proportional to the force being used to move the board in contact with an adjoining board.
