Abstract: A system for providing re-usable safety support fences and fall restraints for the construction industry. The system comprises a plurality of disposable bases which are welded to I-beams or otherwise permanently attached to a floor or roof, and a plurality of removable support posts that screw into the disposable bases. The support posts form the posts of a safety fence through which steel cables are threaded to form a fence. Also, a fall arrestor, comprising an eye hook onto which a construction or maintenance worker on the perimeter of a building may attach, can be screwed into the permanently mounted disposable base. Additional embodiments for use with concrete construction instead of steel I-beams are disclosed.

Abstract: A system for providing re-usable safety support fences and fall restraints for the construction industry. The system primarily comprises a disposable base which is welded to an I-beam or otherwise permanently attached to a floor or roof and a removable support post that screws into the disposable base. The support posts can form the posts of a safety fence through which steel cables are threaded to form the fence. On the other hand, a fall arrestor, comprising an eye hook onto which a construction or maintenance worker on the perimeter of a building may attach, can also be screwed into the permanently mounted disposable base. Additional embodiments for use with concrete construction instead of steel I-beams are disclosed. The basis for the invention is inexpensive disposable bases which remain an integral part of the structure after completion coupled with removable and re-useable post devices which screw into the disposable bases.

Abstract: The modular front end forms the front portion of a motor vehicle. The modular front end includes a bulkhead defining a plurality of integrally formed attachment mounts. A drive train assembly carrying at least an engine of the motor vehicle is attached to the bulkhead at the attachment mounts. A crash energy absorption assembly is attached to the attachment mounts on the bulkhead and generally extends around the drive train assembly. An apron assembly is attached to the bulkhead at the attachment mounts and is generally positioned above the drive train assembly and crash energy absorption assembly.

Abstract: A hand utensil for draining liquid from canned foods, or for removing can lids after opening and of the type have a receiver base unit (30) with a fixed handle (36) which contains a pass through shaft (32, 34) containing a spring (18) in which the T shaped plunger handle (10) passes through when compressed causing the magnetized plate (22) to place pressure on a lid of an opened can, and when uncompressed the T shaped plunger handle (10) will return to its original position causing the can lid to be removed from the can attached to the magnetized plate (22). The utensil is made of an inflexible material so that it is strong enough to safely provide the required pressure.

Abstract: Thickened aqueous alkali metal hypochlorite compositions are provided by adding to the aqueous solution of the hypochlorite an effective amount of a thickening additive composed of at least one of each of the following classes of anionic surfactants: (A) alkali metal sulfate salts of ethoxylated aliphatic alcohols; (B) alkali metal salts of N-alkyl, N-acyl amino acids, and (C) alkali metal salts of alkyl sulfates. The thickened compositions have viscosities of at least 25 centipoises and remain stable--no phase separation; maintain viscosity and hypochlorite concentration--for extended periods. Compositions especially useful for unclogging clogged drains, preferably those with P-traps, are described.
