Abstract: A cable carrying case, in one embodiment, includes a first halve and a second halve that are coupled together by a fastener. The first and second halves pivot between an open and a closed position around the fastener. The cable carrying case has a releasable support member that is configured to support the weight of a spool of cable. The spool of cable may rotate about the support member to dispense the cable from within the case through a slot.

Abstract: A cable carrying case is provided, an embodiment of the case having two halves, a first half and a second half that are coupled together at a first fastener, the first and second halves pivoting between an open and a closed position around the first fastener. An embodiment of the case further comprises a cylindrical protrusion that is releasably attached to the inner surface of the first half at a receiving port and releasably attached to the receiving port of the second half upon the case being closed. In the closed position, the cylindrical protrusion supports the weight of a spool of cable that has been placed thereon, and the spool may rotate about the cylindrical protrusion to dispense the cable from within the case as the cable is pulled from the case. Once the cable is depleted, the case may be opened and the spool of cable can be replaced with a new spool.

Abstract: An improved hanging device for wall mounted objects such as pictures, mirrors and displays featuring a built in spirit level vial (6) for leveling purposes and an integral toothed bracket (8) for engaging a fastener (28) on or in the wall upon which the object is to be suspended. Alternative embodiments feature devices for the same use and purpose which utilize the same operating principle enabling utilization of different materials and methods of construction.

Abstract: A floor covering removal apparatus and method are provided. The apparatus includes a frame for supporting the apparatus and a pair of interlocking gears which selectively and controllably feed a desired width of floor covering through the apparatus. One of the gears is driven by a drive which causes the apparatus to displace over a floor surface as the floor covering is fed through the apparatus. Cutting blades are mounted to the frame which cut the floor covering prior to engaging with the interlocking gears. A locking handle is provided to positively lock the floor covering between the interlocking gears prior to displacement of the apparatus along the floor surface. A control assembly enables an operator to selectively control the direction in which the apparatus is displaced.
