Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for urging a flooring strip into close or tight engagement with the adjacent flooring strip, which has already been fixed into position, and holding the flooring strip securely in position for nailing or otherwise fixing the flooring strip. The invented device has a base plate with having holes therein for attachment to a floor (subfloor), a rack and pinion gear arrangement where the rack has an angle iron style pusher-puller ram pusher at the end of the rack, the end of the base plate having a removable shoe, and a rack housing situated on the base plate with an associated pinion gear engaging the rack and operated by a levering handle for urging the flooring strip into position for installation.

Abstract: A post and rail fence construction comprising a tubular steel post adapted to be mounted in an upright vertical position and a steel rail generally of channel section adapted to extend generally horizontally from the post. The post has at least one hole therein for reception of one end of the rail which has a detent thereon. The rail is sufficiently resilient for springing the sides of the rail together for insertion of the rail and detent inside the post through the hole. On release, the sides of the rail spring apart into engagement with the post with the detent inside the post for locking the rail therein.
