A device for securing a hose to a holding tank is disclosed. The device includes a sleeve with a cleft running through it; a central aperture for holding a hose, an entry section for inserting the device into a mouth of the holding tank, a shield which covers the mouth of the holding tank, and a haft and pommel to assist with placement and removal of the device. The cleft enables a circumference of the central aperture to be increased or decreased and allows an outer circumference to be increased or decreased. In one embodiment, at least one thread engagement knob secures the entry section to the mouth of the holding tank.

An article to suppress cracking of drywall at interior corners features a thin metal brace that includes a piece of sheet metal between 3 and 30 gauge thickness. If the device as-produced or as-received starts out as a flat sheet of metal, the base or flange of the device is then bent at about a 90 degree angle with respect to the rest of the device—the tongue. When the base or flange is then placed flat along the side of a stud or framing, the tongue of the device will then lie flat or flush along the front side of the stud, but at an angle, for example, 45 degrees, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stud. In a door or window frame, another stud will intersect the first stud at a right angle. Where the tongue crosses this second stud, the tongue may be fastened to this second stud. In another embodiment, the tongue may be bent or folded over and fastened to the side of the stud. This device can be fastened with screws, nails, or staples, as well as a pressed gang plate system. Thus, the instant device serves to tie the framing members together.

A modular home includes a first housing portion including a first floor, a ceiling, at least three walls, a first vertical edge of a first wall, a second vertical edge of a second wall, and an opening between a horizontal edge of the first floor, a first horizontal edge of the first ceiling, and the first and second vertical edges. The modular home further includes a second housing portion including a second floor, a ceiling, at least three walls, a third vertical edge of a third wall, a fourth vertical edge of a fourth wall, and an opening between a horizontal edge of the second floor, a second horizontal edge of the second ceiling, and the third and fourth vertical edges. The first vertical edge is coupled to the third vertical edge by a hinge, and the second vertical edge is configured to be coupled to the fourth vertical edge.

Mobile business units featuring modularized utilities for plug and play of business unit equipment provide a reconfigurable and scalable system of mobile business units for a variety of businesses including, for example, a mobile kitchen or “ghost kitchen”, classroom or office space, medical facilities, insurance or disaster relief facilities, fabrication units, pharmacies, grocery-to-go units, mobile repair garages, and mobile broadcasting centers. The mobile business units can be stacked, positioned side by side, positioned end to end, and interconnected in various systems using modular interconnection units. The modularized utilities enable quick reconfiguration and plug and play of business unit equipment so each mobile business unit can be rapidly reconfigured.

Systems and methods are presented herein for a mounting apparatus configured to arrange a retractable kitchen within a vehicle enclosure. The mounting apparatus comprises a first slot configured to accommodate an alignment protrusion of a kitchen module. The mounting apparatus further comprises a second slot configured to accommodate a locking assembly, which, when actuated into a locking position prevents translation of the kitchen module along the second slot. The mounting apparatus shall be arranged on a bottom side of the vehicle enclosure and shall have a retractable kitchen module fixedly attached to the mounting apparatus. The retractable kitchen module comprises a kitchen module enclosure configured to move from a stored position to an extended positioned, and a kitchen work surface configured to extend away from the front side of the vehicle enclosure.
