The invention features a mobile foldable instrument stand that functions as both an instrument stand and a mode of transport. The mobile foldable instrument stand comprises a base, an adjustable spine attached to the base, a wheel, a rotatably hinged handle and fork to support and hold an instrument and an elastic cord to further secure the instrument to the mobile foldable instrument stand. The mobile foldable instrument stand is foldable for ease of storage.

Exemplary embodiments of an expedition cart are provided. The expedition cart includes a chassis configured and dimensioned to support a load. The expedition cart includes first and second gusset plates attached to the chassis. Each of the first and second gusset plates includes a central body portion and curved fastening edges on either side of the central body portion. The curved fastening edges can be configured and dimensioned to mate against at least a portion of the chassis. Exemplary embodiments of an expedition cart are also provided that include first and second hubs engaged with the chassis, the first and second hubs defining either a single part or a two part design.

Tool storage devices. A tool storage device may include a handle assembly including a support arm connected between a body and a handle portion and having a substantially rectangular cross section oriented with first walls extending transverse to the axis having a greater width than second walls extending parallel to the axis. A width of the handle portion may be at least about 50% of a width of the body. The body may include a frame assembly formed of a rigid material, a wall formed of a flexible material and at least partially defining the storage compartment with an open top, and a cover formed of a rigid material connected to the frame assembly to selectively close the open top. A wheel well portion receives each wheel and may cover the width of the wheel and a portion of the circumference of the wheel. A radial clearance between the wheel and a lower end of the wheel well may be no more than about 0.5 inches.

A case for an industrial air blower provides noise-reducing foam baffles and vibration absorbing ductile mounting components, mitigating the substantial noise and vibration generated by the blower in operation. Configurable for use of the blower either as pressurized air supply or vacuum source, the case provides circulation of blower inlet air or vacuum outlet air around the blower motor, thereby aiding cooling of the blower motor, reducing the risk of overheating. When configured for use as a pressurized air supply, blower inlet air is heated by the blower motor, the blower thereby providing a heated pressurized air supply suitable for drying wet or water damaged surfaces. Embodiments provide caster wheels and handles for easy transport. Embodiments also provide a pressure relief valve or manometer cut-off to prevent blower overload from excessive pressure.

Herein is disclosed a dolly for carrying a heavy object by means of a car with a trailer hitch. The dolly includes a rigid frame adapted to securely hold an object on a front face of the rigid frame. Left and right parallel pneumatic wheels are positioned on a left and right sides the rigid frame, respectively and extending perpendicularly away from the rigid frame opposite a platform. Each of the pneumatic wheels is highway rated. Each of the pneumatic wheels has a hub rotatably mounted to the rigid frame by a flange member projecting perpendicularly from the rigid frame, the flange members positioning the hubs away from the rigid frame such that the hubs are at least several inches from a back face of the rigid frame. The dolly also includes a retractable boom having a trailer hitch coupling on a distal end. The retractable boom is selectively movable between a retracted and extended position. Finally, the dolly includes a lock for releasably locking the retractable boom in its extended position.

A carriage apparatus for a grill includes a frame having a first end opposite a second end. A pair of wheels are secured at the first end of the frame. A handle extends from the second end of the frame. The carriage apparatus includes at least one quick-release connector. The at least one quick-release connector includes a support structure secured to the frame. The at least one quick-release connector further includes a release device supported upon the support structure. The at least one quick-release connector further includes an elastic member that biases the release device against the support structure.

A tool for removing a stuck bit of a drilling device from the drilling medium in which it was being drilled is provided. The system generally comprises a frame, a hydraulic lift operably connected to the frame, and a lifting platform. Operating the hydraulic lifting device may cause a strut to move in a linear direction, which may cause the carriage to move in a linear direction. By moving the strut in linear direction such that the carriage extends beyond the length of the drilling device, the carriage may contact the drilling medium, which may cause a lifting force to be applied to the drilling device. A user may then use the carriage to move the drilling device to a new location.
