  • WS3
    Patent number: 9032694
    Abstract: The WS3 is made of a strong rust resistant metal, or other material that is rust resistant and strong enough to withstand the abuse of a weed-eater line striking it. The WS3 is comprised of the above material, that is cut into a number of side pieces. The number of side pieces is to be determined by the particular wooden post in question. These side pieces are designed to connect to each other, at the edge of each side piece there is a fold that is folded in the opposite direction of the adjacent side that it is to be connected with. These opposite folds connect each side together with the next side, eliminated the need for screws or nails to hold WS3 together as one complete solid unit surrounding a wooden post.

  • Publication number: 20070256947
    Abstract: Tape storage container with a box-like storage case including, a lid, a base plate having a plurality of spindle retaining sockets, a plurality of tape roll retaining spindles, a plurality of spindle adaptor plates, a handle, and a case closure member. The lid conforms to the open top of the storage case. The spindles have a centrally located downwardly displaced shaft capable of frictionally inserting into the spindle retaining sockets. The spindle diameter is approximately one and one quarter of an inch in diameter conforming to the inside diameter of a standard small diameter roll of adhesive tape. The spindles include a plurality of vertical slots capable of frictionally retaining the spindle adaptor plates so that the outside edge of the adaptor plates accommodate the inside diameter of a standard large roll of adhesive tape. The distance between the spindle retaining sockets is proximally one and one half inches.
