| 20100006375 | Portable Worker Safety Frame - A portable worker safety frame provides many of the benefits of a loading dock while enhancing worker safety. In one implementation, the safety frame provides a walking surface of adjustable height that may be placed adjacent to an arbitrary work surface of a transportation vehicle. The safety frame can provide a walking platform that has a similar length as the cargo bed itself, yet is portable by such conventional means as the forks of a lift truck. The portable worker safety frame also provides an overhead safety rail to which each worker may attach a safety harness cord. | 01-14-2010 |
| 20100025155 | Reusable Mud-Sill - A reusable mud-sill to replace the conventional wooden-mud-sills and to capture without the use of tools the small-metal-plate conventionally found at the bottom of scaffold legs. Mud-sills are used to interface the bottom ends of scaffold legs, or the like, to the ground and to provide reasonable ground pressure while inhibiting side movement of a leg. The reusable mud-sill captures a small-metal-plate with two fixed opposing side-blocks, a fixed overlapping-retainer, and a sliding overlapping-retainer that may be locked to the reusable mud-sill when the conventional small-metal-plate has been captured. The cooperating, capturing parts are all centrally placed on the top of a flat-plate that is significantly larger than the small-metal-plate. | 02-04-2010 |

Each inner rail is held in place by a spring-loaded lever with attached hooks. The spring forces the hooks to be engaged with an adjustment bracket that is fixed to the outer rail. A foot will be fixed to the bottom of each inner rail. Each foot will have arched surfaces along 2 perpendicular horizontal axes so that consistent surface area contact is maintained with the ground regardless of the angle of the ground. On a level surface, when the ladder is in an un-adjusted state, the four inner rails are designed to be extended with respect to the outer rails providing equal distance between each step and reducing weight and production costs. | 05-13-2010 |
