Abstract: A step ladder. Two side rails and two support legs are connected to a top cap. Two locking spreader bars are connected between the support legs. The locking spreader bars hold the two side rails at a side rail angle. Ladder rungs are rigidly connected to the side rails. At least one of the ladder rungs has a bend to form a bent rung front face. The bent rung front face has a bent rung front face angle that is less than the side rail angle. To use the step ladder, the user will stand on a ladder rung and rest at least one of his legs against a bent rung front face. The increased angle of the bent rung front face will provide comfortable support for the user. In a preferred embodiment, the bent rung front face angle is vertical at 90 degrees.

Abstract: A device and method for preventing the dropping of money while change is being handed through a drive-through window from a cashier to a customer in an automobile.

Abstract: Telescopically slidable tubular members incorporate a hydraulic jack for causing successive minute amounts of relative longitudinal extension thereof. The jack includes a hydraulic piston and cylinder mounted to the rear end of the forward tubular member. This assembly engages a pin inserted in a selected one of a plurality of longitudinally spaced holes in the forward end of the rear tubular member to thereby provide an initial overall length adjustment. A pump is removably mounted to the rear tubular member and is connected to the piston and cylinder assembly via hoses. The telescoping members are positioned diagonally so that a spade at the forward end of the forward tubular member engages an upper portion of a generally vertically oriented stud wall and so that a toothed base member pivotally connected to the rear end of the rear tubular member engages the floor.
