Abstract: An electric lawn mower including a pivoting lever coupled to a stationary handle, a start switch, a cutting blade, electric wheel motors, and a controller in communication with the pivoting lever and the start switch. The controller is configured to keep the cutting blade and the electric wheel motors off when the pivoting lever is disposed anywhere from a fully disengaged position up to and including a first pivot angle and the start switch has not been activated, keep the electric wheel motors off and turn the cutting blade on when the pivoting lever is disposed at a second pivot angle and the start switch is activated, and turn the electric wheel motors on when the pivoting lever is transitioned from the second pivot angle to a third pivot angle after the cutting blade has been turned on.

Abstract: A bladeless fan assembly is provided which includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. A blower is located within the housing, and includes a motor for driving an air stream between the air inlet and air outlet of the housing. A directional scoop is affixed to the housing at the air outlet. The directional scoop including a first end, connected to the housing at the air inlet, and a second open end opposite the first end. The first end and second open end of the directional scoop define a longitudinal length “L” of the directional scoop having a longitudinal axis “X.” The directional scoop is arcuate is shape, being curved along the longitudinal axis between the first and the second open end, and about the longitudinal axis to define an open channel along the length of the directional scoop.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed towards a self-cleaning litter box. The self-cleaning litter box includes a litter tray having a bottom surface, a first and second side wall, a home end, and a waste end, the bottom surface having an upwardly sloping ramp directed towards the discharge end, A carriage assembly is supported between the first and second side walls, and has a rake positioned thereon. A drive assembly is removably attached to the home end of the litter tray. The drive assembly is operably connected to the carriage assembly to drive the carriage assembly along a path between the home end and discharge end of the litter tray. A waste receptacle positioned adjacent to the discharge end of the litter tray, the waste receptacle includes a selectively openable lid. The drive assembly includes all of the electronics of the litter box. This permits the litter tray to be separated from the drive assembly, and cleaned without damaging the electronics in the drive assembly.

Abstract: A console humidifier includes a humidification unit having a top portion with an air outlet there through. A water reservoir is located at a bottom portion of the humidification unit, and includes an air inlet there through. A portion of the water reservoir extends through a back wall of the humidification unit and includes a water tank interface. A water tank is positionable on the water tank interface, where the water tank include support members for caring the load of the water tank. A wick element is located in the humidification unit, with only an end portion of the wick element being positioned in the reservoir. The wick element being positioned about the air inlet. A fan assembly is located in the top portion of the humidification unit, where the fan assembly is interposed between the wick element and the air outlet in the top portion of the humidification unit.
