Abstract:

A carpet stay-nail tool for positively holding an area of carpet to a desired location during carpet stretching and laying operations. A basic necessity during carpet laying is keeping a first section of carpet temporarily secured while the balance of the carpet is stretched and fastened to its permanent position. The invention provides a plurality of nails configured together in a row which can be pounded through the carpet into the underlayment. Subsequently, the invention can be easily pried up and reused with no discemable damage to the carpet. For safety and convenience, the tool is configured in nesting pairs of nail rows so the nail points are covered and a second nail row is readily available.

Abstract:

An accessory tray is connected to, or extends integrally from, a shopping cart handle and extends a limited distance forward from the handle. The tray extends forward above, but not significantly interfering with, the child-seat area of the cart. Preferably, the forward extremity is not directly connected or attached to the cart, but rather the tray is cantilevered from its rear end/edge fixed to/at the handle and extends otherwise unconnected forward from the handle. A forward tray portion may rest on, or be close to, an upper portion/end of the cart rear wall. The preferred tray is substantially planar, featuring a single, flat platform with an upending rim, wherein no part extends above said top level of the handle. The tray remains in place for nesting of multiple carts, and is received in a space between nested portions of the cart to which it is connected.
