Abstract: A collapsible container for holding items above a support surface when in a deployed configuration, and for substantially sealing the items within the container when in a collapsed configuration, comprises an elongated inner container having an outer surface, two opposing ends and a central storage cavity between the ends for receiving the items therein. Two hollow sleeves are each open at a first end thereof, and two attachment mechanisms are each fixed between one of the ends of the inner container and the first end of one of the hollow sleeves. In use, in the collapsed configuration the sleeves cover the opposing ends of the inner container, and in the deployed configuration each sleeve is fixed proximate the first open end thereof with one end of the inner container to support the inner container above the support surface.

Abstract: A collapsible hand trowel comprises a rigid scoop that has a forward end terminating at a point, a rear end, and two opposing side flanges that each has a pivot bar aperture therethrough. A handle includes a rear end, a neck, and a forward end that comprises two laterally-extending pivot bars that traverse the pivot bar apertures of the scoop. An upwardly-projecting V-shaped ridge is formed along a longitudinal axis of the scoop and that terminates into two upturned handle catch flanges, each having an inwardly facing hook adapted to retain the neck of the handle therebetween. A handle lock is adapted to prevent the handle from disengaging the handle catch when the collapsible hand trowel is in the extended configuration, and when the handle lock is in a deployed position.

Abstract: A mounting device typically used for mounting line-of-site equipment, the mounting device including leg members that can fold into a trough like body of the mounting device, and further including a strap spool connected to an end portion of the mounting device. A strap on the strap spool can be unspooled and used to attach the mounting device to a surface.
