Abstract: A pre-formed molded deck panel is adapted to be secured on a supporting frame structure to create a deck surface. The deck panel comprises a moldable thermoplastic material impregnated with a fibrous stranded material. The panel includes a top surface and four lateral sides extending downward from the top surface. The top surface is formed as a grid having a plurality of openings. A plurality of supporting ribs extend parallel to each other from one of the four lateral sides to an opposite one of the four lateral sides. The upper surface of each supporting rib is adapted to form longitudinal portions of the grid pattern of the top surface. A plurality of tabs extend outward from the lateral sides that are adapted to interlock with a corresponding plurality of tabs extending from a like deck panel so that a plurality of deck panels may be juxtaposed in abutting relationship.

Abstract: A tape dispenser is adapted to dispense trail tape and be mounted to a belt. The tape dispenser includes a housing that defines an inner cavity having a tape spool defined therein for supporting a role of tape and a storage box defined at the top of the housing. The housing includes at least one cutting edge for cutting the tape. The housing is adapted to open and close for loading and unloading of the role of tape onto and from the tape spool, to hold a portion of the distal, cut-end of the tape to prevent the portion from rolling backward into the housing, and to leave another portion of the tape extending from the housing for later cutting of the other portion.
