Abstract: A lighting apparatus for a snowplow comprises a plurality of lamps fixed to the top portion of a snowplow. Holes are applied to structural members of the snowplow moldboard, and fasteners and protectors are employed to fixedly attach electrical connections through the holes. Fasteners such as eye bolts are used to fixedly attach the electrical connections that run from the snowplow blade, through the snowplow frame, and into the engine compartment. The resultant lighting system illuminates the area in front of the snowplow for better operation.

Abstract: A carpet measurement tool comprising a rigid rectangular plate having an upper surface, a lower surface, a pair of opposed long edges, and a pair of short edges extended therebetween; a distance ruler with a set length and scaling disposed on the upper surface of the plate near one long edge, the distance ruler a plurality of equally spaced tick marks disposed thereon; a composite ruler having a scaling equal to the distance ruler and disposed near the other long edge, the composite ruler including a plurality of sub-rulers positioned in a stacked relation, each sub-ruler aligned with the distance ruler, each sub-ruler having tick marks disposed thereon to thereby create a plurality of measuring bars with the measuring bars of each sub-ruler corresponding to a characteristic carpet type having a given breadth; and a set of columns disposed between the distance ruler and the composite ruler, each column having a scaling equal to the distance ruler and composite ruler, each column identifying a characteristic c
