  • Particulate blaster assembly and aspirator
    Patent number: 6793563
    Abstract: A particulate blaster assembly (100) for use as an attachment to a portable air blower (150) includes an air directing tube (110), a vacuum generating assembly (120), and a particulate material aspirator (130). The air directing tube (110) has an inlet end (112) formed for coupling to the air blower (150) to receive air discharged therefrom and a movable exhaust end (114) formed for discharge of air and particulate material (212) entrained in the air toward a target site (160). The vacuum assembly (120) is coupled to the air directing tube (110) and formed to produce a partial vacuum as air passes in the tube (110) over the vacuum generating assembly (120).

  • Brake assembly for snow skis and snow boards
    Patent number: 5509683
    Abstract: A ski brake assembly (21, 21a) for snow skis (24) or snow boards (24a). The ski brake assembly includes a framework (22) to which a snow-engaging braking blade assembly (26, 26a) is mounted for movement between a retracted position and a plurality of braking positions. The braking blade (26, 26a) is driven by an electric motor (36) through a blade drive assembly (51) formed to displace the blade (26, 26a) in response to operation of the motor (36). The drive assembly (51) and motor (36) are formed to hold the braking blade (26, 26a) in a selected one of a plurality of braking positions against the snow when the manually-operated switch assembly (42, 42a) is released. The control circuit (39) is coupled to the switch assembly (42, 42a) so as to switch polarity of the motor (36) for driving the motor (36) in opposite directions.
