Weather resistant container for storing rolled construction documents and display for building permits

A storage device for storing a roll of sheets of paper comprising:

• a) a housing having a roof and opposed side members;
• b) a tube having an axial bore with an open top and an obstruction extending across at least a portion of said tube to prevent a roll of sheets of paper from falling past said obstruction when positioned in said tube through said open top;
• said tube pivotally mounted relative to said opposed side members of said housing proximate a lower end thereof and about an axis extending approximately across a center of said tube;
• said tube pivotally advanceable between a retracted position wherein said roof covers said open top of said tube and an extended position wherein said open top of said tube is advanced out from under said roof;
• and wherein said housing further includes a back panel with a circular recess formed in a lower edge of said back panel to permit a lower rear corner of said tube to pivot rearwardly past said back panel when an upper end of said tube is pivoted forwardly to said extended position.

A clamp for connecting an article to a T-post having a stem and a cross-member including first and second cross arms, said clamp comprising:

• a) a first clamp member and a second clamp member wherein one of said first and second clamp members includes a mounting member for mounting said clamp to the article;
• said first clamp member including a first clamping surface and a first hook extending adjacent said first clamping surface;
• said second clamp member including a second clamping surface;
• and
• b) compression means for urging said second clamping surface toward said first clamping surface to compress said first and second clamping surfaces against a first portion of the T-post with the first hook extending around a second portion of the T-post.

A clamp for connecting an article to a T-post having a stem and a cross-member including first and second cross arms, said clamp comprising:

• a) a first clamp member and a second clamp member connected together by a hinge;
• b) said first clamp member including a mounting member for mounting said clamp to the article;
• a first clamp plate and a first cross arm receiver extending between said first clamp plate and said hinge;
• c) said second clamp member including a second clamp plate and a second cross arm receiver extending between said second clamp plate and said hinge;
• d) compression means for urging said second clamp plate toward said first clamp plate to compress said first and second clamp plates against a stem of a T-post when said first and second clamp members are positioned around the T-post with first and second cross arms of the T-post extending in said first and second cross arm receivers respectively.
