Abstract: A transportable liquid fuel caddy that easily attaches to the outside of any vehicle with a approved hitch receiver. Provisions within the design provide a secure attachment of the fuel caddy to the vehicle that is free of rattle. After attachment to the vehicle, the fuel caddy can be lifted and lowered via hand cranking or pushing “lift/lower” button on electromechanical version. The fuel caddy can be filled at the refueling station without being removed from the vehicle, gas fumes do not enter the vehicle as the fuel caddy remains mounted to the outside of the vehicle during transportation. The lever pump integrated into the fuel caddy is pumped a few times to build up low pressure in the fuel tanks to push the fuel out of the tanks at the time of dispensing.

Abstract: An above-ground swimming pool with integral automatic raising and lowering hard cover, and an automatic raising and lowering retrofit hard cover for an existing in-ground and above-ground swimming pool. The raising and lowering of the hard cover takes place with the utilization of two or more linear actuators that are telescopic or non-telescopic and actuated through the use of mechanical (screw jack, rack and pinion or pulley types), hydraulic (piston type), pneumatic (piston type), electro-mechanical, Piezoelectric and linear motor devices. The hard cover provides several benefits to the user of the pool.
