  • Patent number: 5871007
    Abstract: An aerosol throat spray with a spray-counting mechanism including a lead screw driven in rotation by a rachet in which a follower on the lead screw moves from a starting location indicating the aerosol is "full" to an ending position indicating the aerosol is "empty", wherein the rachet is actuated by a pawl of springy construction material which, after each power stroke, returns to a ready position for the next power stroke in response to the spring urgency of its construction material.

  • Patent number: 5331904
    Abstract: An improved tool tray support assembly comprises a center section, opposed extensible lateral support members and end support assemblies. The end support assemblies fit onto end sections of the lateral support members, and support the assembly on opposed edges of an engine compartment of a motor vehicle. The lateral support members slide within the center section and can be locked at any desired position to adjust the spacing of the end supports to accommodate various engine compartments. The angular orientation of the center section can be varied by adjustment of the position of the lateral support members with respect to the end supports. Tool trays of standard dimensions fit between the opposed lateral rails of the support member to enable convenient storage of small tools and parts. The tool tray assembly may also be supported beneath a vehicle service lift or the like, and the tool trays may be supported by brackets on wheeled stools for increased flexibility in their use.
