  • Patent number: 6352135
    Abstract: An accessory for installation on a ladder having hollow rungs comprises a holding arm which is shaped to fit within a hollow rung of a ladder. The accessory includes a ratchet assembly mounted within one end of the holding arm. A paint supply holding assembly includes a shaft having an engagement member for engaging the ratchet assembly. As the shaft is rotated in the ratchet assembly, the holding assembly is incrementally pivoted about an axis defined by the shaft. An elongate shaft of a second holding assembly may be inserted into the holding arm from the end opposite the ratchet assembly. The elongate shaft is slidably receivable into an open end of the shaft of the first holding assembly such that a rotation of either shaft causes a simultaneous pivotal movement of both the first and second holding assemblies.

  • Patent number: 6029862
    Abstract: An actuation device for coupling with an aerosol spray canister and dispensing the pressurized contents contained in the canister includes a housing with a trigger assembly that is spring biased to operate between depressed and released positions. The device further includes an engagement member pivotally mounted to a shaft within the housing. When the device is coupled with a canister, one end of the engagement member bears against a spray nozzle of the canister while an opposed end bears against the trigger assembly. The trigger assembly includes a spring biased pivotal flange configured such that a partial depression of the assembly followed by a release thereof causes the engagement member to automatically engage the spray nozzle to dispense a predetermined amount of spray. A full depression of the trigger assembly, however, causes a continuous dispensing of spray.
