  • Patent number: 6612533
    Abstract: An adjustable support is useful to carpenters for installing cabinets and handrails in buildings. The adjustable support comprises a stand that defines a longitudinal axis. An adjuster is threaded into the stand. A carrier rests on the adjuster. The stand provides coarse adjustment, and the adjuster provides fine adjustment, of the carrier. In one embodiment, the carrier is a flat plate that supports a cabinet. A tray secured to the stand stores tools used to install the cabinet. In another embodiment, the carrier includes a cradle that is pivotable to match the angle of a handrail along a stairway wall. The cradle may be offset from the stand longitudinal axis. Alternately, the stand has a working edge that is spaced relative to the cradle such that placing the stand working edge against the stairway automatically positions the cradle at the proper spacing from the wall.

  • Patent number: 6363929
    Abstract: A snorkel with a unique strap hook and snorkel tube arrangement which permits both selective release and adjustment of the strap hook, but only when release or adjustment is desired and not by inadvertence. In a preferred embodiment, the snorkel tube is provided with a hook slide region enclosed along the tube surface by an elongated border. Inside each side of the border there is a recess for receiving rails of a strap hook having dove tail cross-section rails. The dove tail relationship between the recesses and the rails prevents inadvertent release of the strap hook from the snorkel tube. However, an opening at one end of each such recess, permits selective removal of the strap hook from the snorkel tube.
