Abstract: An extension ladder including a base section and an intermediate fly section. The intermediate fly section slidably attached to the base section. The extension ladder including a top fly section. The top fly section sliding attached to the intermediate fly. The extension ladder including a handle having a first strap portion attached to the base section having a first buckle portion, and a second strap portion attached to the top fly section having a second buckle portion that engages with the first buckle portion when the base section, intermediate fly section and top fly section are in a folded state where they essentially form a shape of a cube so the base section, intermediate fly section and top fly section can be lifted by the handle. The present invention pertains to a method of moving an extension ladder.

The extension ladder including a handle having a first strap portion attached to the base section having a first buckle portion, and a second strap portion attached to the top fly section having a second buckle portion that engages with the first buckle portion when the base section, intermediate fly section and top fly section are in a folded state. A method of moving an extension ladder.

Abstract: An in-tank filter bowl with a de-aeration shroud for a hydraulic or oil reservoir includes an outlet shroud surrounding the filter bowl outlet at a proximal end thereof and having a shroud fluid outlet at a distal end thereof with a larger opening than an opening of the filter bowl outlet. The outlet shroud may be formed as or include a diverging member surrounding the filter bowl outlet at a proximal end thereof and having a diverging member fluid outlet at a distal end thereof, wherein the member diverges from the proximal end to the distal end thereof. The outlet shroud may further include a central deflector positioned within the diverging member and combining with the diverging member to form an annular passage to the diverging member fluid outlet.

Abstract: A compact desiccant air breather with unidirectional air flow comprises a housing with a plurality of air inlets adjacent an upper end for air intake. A desiccant bed of water absorbing material is within the intake flow path of air and an air chamber is within the intake flow path of air downstream of the desiccant bed. A one-way inflow check valve is adjacent the desiccant bed between the desiccant bed and the air chamber and is configured to allow airflow from the desiccant bed material to the air chamber and to prevent reverse airflow. A coupling member has an air flow conduit there-through which is in fluid communication with the air chamber and forms an air intake flow path exit. A one-way exhaust check valve in fluid communication with the air chamber is configured to allow airflow from the air chamber to the exterior and to prevent reverse flow.

Abstract: A scaffold includes a first end frame assembly. The scaffold includes a second end frame assembly. The scaffold includes a first side brace assembly supported by the first end frame assembly and the second end frame assembly. The scaffold includes a second side brace assembly supported by the first end frame assembly and the second end frame assembly. Each end frame assembly has a first rail with holes and a caster assembly and a second rail with holes and a caster assembly and a horizontal that is attached to each rail. Each side brace assembly has a locking pin in proximity to each end which engages with a hole in a respective rail, and an associated guard disposed about each pin. Each locking pin has a handle which has a length that extends below the associated guard on an interior side of the guard. A method for a scaffold.
