Adjustable support device for ergonomically supporting a worker for accessing a lower work area
An adjustable support device for providing support to a worker oriented facedown thereon for accessing a lower work area disposed lower than the worker, such as one that the worker needs to extend out over in order to access appropriately. The adjustable support device includes a main support assembly and a leg support section pivotally coupled to the main support assembly. The leg support section may be pivoted to be angled upward. The main support assembly includes a midsection support and a chest support slidably mounted to the midsection support for movement along the longitudinal axis relative to the midsection support. A frame may be provided, and the midsection support may be angled upward relative to the frame. The adjustable support device provides ergonomic support to a worker so that the worker is supported over the lower work area in a cantilever fashion. Related methods are disclosed.

SECURING RACK FOR BACKPACK BLOWER
A lockable equipment rack configured to secure equipment, such as a backpack blower, thereto. The locking equipment rack comprises an upper locking assembly and a lower support assembly. The upper locking assembly and the lower support assembly are securable to and movable about a first post and a second post. Attached to the second post is a tube holder assembly configured to receive and hold at least a portion of an air discharge tube or pipe designed to move air. A locking unit provides a mechanism to secure a piece of equipment, such as a backpack blower, to the upper locking assembly and the lower support assembly.

Work chair
A work chair includes a base frame including a transverse portion, a longitudinal portion vertically located on the transverse portion and a plurality of rollers provided at a bottom side thereof, a first pivoting frame pivotally connected to the transverse portion and biasable between a horizontal position and a vertical position, a second pivoting frame including a bottom support portion and a top support portion. The top support portion has one end thereof pivotally connected to the longitudinal portion of the base frame such that the second pivoting frame can be biased to move the top support portion from a vertical position to a horizontal position where the second pivoting frame is placed across the first pivoting frame.

Tools and parts caddy for man-lifts
The present invention is a Tools and Parts Caddy, which holds tools and parts/fasteners, etc. within easy reach while removably affixed on a scissor lift or other type of man-lift. The core component of the invention is an injection-molded plastic tray, which, generally speaking, is configured as follows: a flat area with slots and holes for holding various hand tools, a bin for fasteners and parts which can be removably attached to the rails of the man-lift. Several accessories are envisioned to accommodate larger tools and parts secured to the lower rails and a trash container which rests on the floor of the work platform. The invention can be used by all building and maintenance trades to augment or replace tool belts and pouches. Furthermore, it should be noted that using this device increases efficiencies and reduces strain and exertion required performing tasks.

Confined entry device
A seat assembly. The seat assembly is adapted for use in entering confined spaces or otherwise entering spaces through confined entryways. The seat assembly includes a seat that is slidably disposed along a track. In one embodiment, the seat is rotatable. The seat assembly further includes a wire or tether that has multiple clamps positioned along its length. The assembly is utilized by placing the track such that it extends through a confined entryway and then securing the clamps about the perimeter edge of the opening such that the tether is held taut. The tension in the wire exerts a force that maintains the track, the seat, and a user or any equipment thereon in a horizontal position through the opening. Users can the utilize the slidable seat to enter and exit the confined opening with minimal difficulty.
