US Patent:

52856569, Feb 15, 1994

Filed:

Aug 6, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/926583

Inventors:

Calvin R. Peters - Grand Rapids MI

International Classification:

F25D 308

US Classification:

624571

Abstract:

A portable cooler chest is disclosed having a collapsible storage bin for nonperishable items and wheels specially adapted for rolling on sand or soft soils. The collapsible storage bin includes foldable side panels and may be integrated with or separable from the lid of the chest. A cover is provided to cover the erected storage bin, or to enclose the collapsed storage bin between the cover and the lid. Pivotable rolling surface segments are hinged to the wheels such that the segments may be pivoted outwardly to augment the width of the rolling surfaces. The wheels are rotatably connected to the lower extent of the enclosure by pivoting spindles. The wheels may be pivoted under the bottom of the enclosure to prevent rolling of the chest and to place the wheels out of the way. Stowable retainer disks maintain the segments in the outwardly pivoted position. The wheels may be removed from the chest.

Appl. No.:

15/814773

Inventors:

Calvin R. Peters - Grandville MI, US

International Classification:

G09F 17/00

Abstract:

An apparatus and related methods includes a base attached to an upright structure (such as a street light pole), a mounting bracket that releasably engages the base while supporting a hanging banner, and an install adapter that releasably holds the mounting bracket and banner until the mounting bracket attaches to the base. A removal adapter facilitates disengaging the mounting bracket and banner from the base. The mounting bracket and install adapter (and removal adapter) are attached to a pole and engage (and disengage) remotely and without using separate fasteners, thus allowing a worker to install (or remove) banners high on the upright structure while standing on the ground. The base and mounting bracket have tapered shapes that wedgingly engage, secured by a spring-biased friction retainer. The install adapter and removal adapter have structures that facilitate remote install and removal of the mounting bracket from the base.
