Abstract: An improved guard for a pump propeller is described herein. The guard includes a hub that in use surrounds a drive shaft of a drive motor unit that drives the propeller. The vanes define a propeller receiving area in which the propeller is received allowing the propeller to rotate relative to the vanes, while portions of the vanes radially surround the propeller. The guard is fixed in position about the propeller to protect the propeller from debris and to prevent human contact with the rotating propeller. The guard is designed to shed weeds and other debris, and prevent weeds and other debris from becoming entangled on the guard and with the propeller.

Abstract: A liquid aeration system includes an air compressor system and a diffuser. The air compressor system includes an air intake manifold, an air compressor, and a compressor inlet line. The compressor inlet line fluidly connects the air intake manifold and the suction inlet of the air compressor. The compressor suctions air from the air intake manifold through at least the suction inlet hose. The compressor compresses the air into compressed air that is supplied to the diffuser.

Abstract: A meter spacer unit includes a dial spacer, a lateral spacer flexibly connected to the dial spacer by a joint, and a rear connecting member flexibly connected to the lateral spacer by a joint. The lateral spacer includes a connection member adapted to connect to a printed circuit board.

Abstract: A gauge with a light transmitting pointer and a light-transmitting dial plate having a surface with indicia for a variable represented by the dial, at least one light source facing a hub of the pointer and positioned rearwardly from the rear surface of the dial plate for illuminating the dial plate. The light-transmitting pointer is mounted for rotational movement about an axis normal to the dial plate. The pointer hub is concentric with the axis, extending through the dial plate and projecting both forwardly and rearwardly from the plate, and an indicator projecting laterally from the hub across a portion of the front surface of the dial plate. The portion of the hub extending rearwardly of the dial plate is shaped to capture light directly from the light source so that light enters the hub and propagates forwardly through the hub, and then laterally from the hub into the indicator to illuminate the indicator.

Abstract: A modular vehicle gauge system includes a remote unit, a sensor module and at least one gauge. The remote unit includes a first microcontroller, a memory and an interface to allow communications with the sensor module and the at least one gauge. The sensor module includes a second microcontroller, and an interface to allow communications with the remote unit and the at least one gauge. The at least one gauge includes a third microcontroller, an interface to allow communications with the remote unit, and means for changing an illumination of the at least one gauge upon the occurrence of an event. The modular vehicle gauge system also includes means for exchanging information between the remote unit, the sensor module and the at least one gauge.
