  • Patent number: 6625840
    Abstract: An ergonomically-designed squeegee apparatus utilizes a substantially T-shaped body formed of a pair of hollow tube members, the laterally-extending tube member of the “T” frictionally mounting an easily removable and replaceable wiper blade member in substantially snap-fit engagement in an axial mounting slot, the longitudinally extending tube member of the “T” forming an arcuately curved handle member arranged for a comfortable and natural grasp by the hand of a user when the wiper blade member is positioned correctly for squeegeeing operations.

  • Patent number: 6100662
    Abstract: A method and circuit for controlling a motor and reducing and/or eliminating mid-velocity instability in the motor are provided. The method includes the step of receiving a decay time indicative signal that is indicative of the current decay time in a phase coil of the motor after current commutation. The decay time indicative signal assumes a first polarity proportional to the current decay time in the phase coil. The method further includes the step of calculating a delay time corresponding to the amount of time the decay time indicative signal has the first polarity. Finally, the method includes the step of controlling the direction of current in the phase coil or another phase coil of the motor responsive to the delay time and a current direction signal generated by a translator. The inventive method and circuit enable reduction and/or elimination of mid-velocity instability even when the motor is operated in a microstepping mode.

  • Patent number: 5461541
    Abstract: An enclosure for protectively housing a printed circuit board in an electronic circuit module includes a base having an internal surface and an external surface. The base includes a pair of raised mounting pads formed on the internal surface which define respective mounting surfaces. A pair of channels are also formed on the internal surface of the base. The enclosure further includes a cover having a panel portion and a pair of end wall portions. Respective projections are formed on each of the end wall portions which define grooves therein. The cover is assembled to the base by inserting the edges of the end wall portions provided on the cover into the channels provided on the base. A plurality of spring clips is disposed within each of the grooves provided on the cover. The spring clips can be positioned at any desired location along each of the grooves.

  • Patent number: 5101530
    Abstract: An improved, light-weight squeegee suitable for use in and around the home for cleaning and drying shower and tub enclosures, windows, and spa decks, or autos and boat decks. The squeegee is constructed without metal parts that could scratch glass, ceramic and painted surfaces or that could corrode and stain such surfaces. A cylindrical handle holds dual S-shaped blades, which extend along the handle and beyond one end of the handle to facilitate cleaning in tight spaces. The unitary blades are coextruded from thermoplastics having different hardnesses, the roots of the blades held in the slotted handle being stiff, while the extended portions of the blades used for wiping surfaces are relatively flexible. The compact size and the integral handle parallel with the blades allows the user to maneuver the squeegee efficiently in the narrow confines of glass enclosures.
