A simply erected marquee for vending stands which in a collapsed position presents a streamlined appearance to lessen wind resistance in transport. The marquee when erected has upwardly and outwardly extending walls to present an overhang appearance. When collapsed the side and end walls slope outwardly and downwardly to present a streamlined appearance. The marquee is hingedly connected to an upstanding lower marquee support set inwardly of the edges of the roof of the vending stand such that when the marquee is collapsed the marquee rests on the edge of the roof to define a protective space between it and the marquee support.

Abstract:

An apparatus for spreading a liquid over a surface, such as sealant over a pavement, is provided. The apparatus is mounted on a trailer and is comprised of a storage bin for containing the liquid to be spread, a drainage trough, and spreading brushes. Liquid is mixed in the storage bin and then transferred to the drainage trough where it is then dispersed onto the surface for spreading as the apparatus is towed along. The width of the path of dispersed liquid laid down by the drainage trough can be adjusted if necessary for sidewalks or other narrower surfaces. The brushes spread the liquid evenly over the surface. The drainage trough and brushes are hingedly connected to the storage bin and are pivotable between positions of operation and transport.

Abstract:

A finger nail retainer and tweezer for use with a conventional nail clipper. The retainer and tweezer is used with a conventional nail clipper having a pair of elongated cutting blades fastened together at a rear end and having cutting blades at a forward end. The retainer and tweezer is made of spring steel and is of a generally V-shaped construction fitting over the pair of cutting blades and covering the space therebetween to retain nail clippings. The retainer and tweezer when removed from the nail clipper can be squeezed together and serve a particularly advantageous function as a tweezer. The retainer is simply adapted to be fitted over the nail clipper by inturned bottom flanges on the arms and inturned guide elements spaced above the flange elements to bit over the opposed sides of the bottom cutter blade while permitting the movement of the uppermost cutter blade. The flange form a narrow throat at the rear and an enlarged opening receiving a key ring. The throat restricts passage of the key ring but can be widened by spreading apart the retainer arms to pass the key ring to disengage the retainer therefrom.
