Abstract: A device for positioning a rope access technician next to a blade of a wind turbine, including a rigid spine, one or more clamp assemblies with each clamp assembly connected to the rigid spine and each clamp assembly capable of clamping to a blade of a wind turbine, and a lower platform connected to a lower portion of the rigid spine with a substantially flat top surface on which a technician may sit, stand or place items.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a device for aiding users in packing and clearing a smoking container or bowl. The device comprises a first upper tray comprising an edge region forming a rim and a base region forming a planar surface having a first side and a second side. There is a support element which can be formed as a one-piece support element or formed as a plurality of legs coupled to the first upper tray, and a second lower tray coupled to the support element. This second lower tray is formed as an ashtray and is spaced opposite the second side of the planar surface of the first upper tray. The first upper tray has a channel which extends through the planar surface on the first upper tray. This channel comprises a frusto-conical opening, extending away from the first side on the planar surface and an extending region extending from the second side on the planar surface.

Abstract: A tensioning device for mounting a stencil foil in a fixed position in a first plane and having tensioning means. The tensioning means including a tensioning member and a lever, the tensioning member being positioned to directly engage and move the foil to control the tension therein. The lever means being angularly movable and operable to displace a major portion of the stencil foil from the first plane, in which the stencil was initially mounted, to a second plane displaced from the first plane. The displacement of the portion of the stencil foil places the stencil foil under tension. In the preferred embodiment, the tensioning member is in the form of an elongate cam member.

Abstract: A stencil which is adapted for mounting in tension on a mount having peripheral regions which define a body portion for receiving the stencil pattern and which are held in the mount for creating tension in the stencil. A band-form region of weakness for relieving stencil strain is provided inwardly of one of the peripheral regions and extends across the stencil width to relieve the strain in the stencil foil when the mount is in tension. Further, the stencil includes a stencil foil defined by a thin metallic sheet adapted to be directly mounted on the mount which has a row of mounting apertures provided in the two peripheral regions for cooperating with pins in the mount, thereby permitting the foil to be stored separately from the mount.
