    Abstract: A tire support stand includes a connecting arm and a telescopic arm, both connected to a securing bracket. The telescopic arm is pivotally connected to the securing bracket, while the connecting arm is firmly affixed to the securing bracket. The telescopic arm includes a sleeve member and an extendable arm which extends in and out of the sleeve member. The tire support stand has two configurations: (1) an upright configuration in which the connecting arm is mounted in a tripod; and (2) an L-shaped configuration in which the connecting arm is mounted to a trailer hitch receiver.

  • Patent number: 7654400
    Abstract: A tool holder. The tool holder includes a back plate and a tubular tool support assembly. The tubular tool support assembly has opposite first and second ends. The first end is attached to the back plate such that when the back plate is held in a vertical plane the tubular tool support assembly extends at a downward angle away from the front face surface of the back plate. The tubular tool support assembly defines upper and lower downward sloping sides of which the upper side comprises a plurality of handle bar sections each comprising upper and lower tube sections and a middle tube section therebetween. At least one lower tube section is aligned in a horizontal plane when the back plate is aligned in a vertical plane, and at least one lower tube section forms part of a tool support hook.
