  • Patent number: 5953781
    Abstract: A handle assembly (10) for a floor maintenance machine (12) includes a hollow handle pole (26), a handle (84) formed of a foamed polymer, and a device (36) for adjustably locking the handle pole (26) relative to the housing (14) of the floor maintenance machine (12). The locking device (36) includes a foot-operated lever (44) of a stamped, generally U-shape. The handle (84) is formed of a top section (90) and a bottom section (92), with hand grips (156) being integrally formed solely with the top section (90). Pivotable triggers (120) are pivotally mounted to cylindrical pivot bosses (118) formed in the handle (84), with unintentional pivoting of the triggers (120) being prevented by a slideably mounted, lock-out device (164). Trapezoid-shaped extensions (106) are formed on the bottom section (92) and include edges (108) for abutting with the floor when the handle assembly (10) is tipped to reduce the risk of the handle (84) cracking at the upper end of the handle pole (26).

  • Patent number: 5941236
    Abstract: Roofing kettle apparatus for heating asphalt includes a wheeled chassis mounting a vat and a heating system for heating the vat. The heating system includes a solenoid operated valve for controlling the flow of fuel gas from a fuel gas source to each of a pair of burner nozzles and a igniter assembly having an outlet adjacent the outlet of a first combustion chamber. An igniter generates a spark to ignite gas discharging from the igniter assembly outlet. A flame sensor adjacent to the first combustion chamber outlet end senses the burning of fuel gas. The igniter assembly has a second outlet adjacent the second combustion chamber outlet end. The ignition of fuel gas discharging from the igniter assembly ignites the gas discharging through the combustion chamber outlets. The burners extend into the combustion chambers.
