  • Patent number: 10631478
    Abstract: An automated fluid maintenance system comprising a sensor system and a pump configured to deliver fluid from a refillable reservoir to a container holding a Christmas tree, such as a Christmas tree stand. Embodiments of the system include tree attachment hardware capable of controlling the flow, delivery and direction of the fluid being pumped from the of the fluid system's reservoir to a fluid-holding container of the Christmas tree stand and further capable of securing the point of fluid delivery to the tree stand and/or the tree itself. The tree attachment device universally attaches to any available tree stand, even the most complex stand mechanisms, sizes and shapes that obstruct the path to the Christmas tree being maintained by the automated fluid delivery system of the present application.

  • Publication number: 20180179809
    Abstract: A window insulating film roll and kit for insulating windows or a sheet such as a bug screen for covering other types of dwellings. The window insulating film of translucent or transparent polymer has a pair of longitudinal edges and a pair of lateral edges transverse to the longitudinal edges, a strip of adhesive along one of the longitudinal edges, a releasable backing strip covering the strip of adhesive. The window insulating film is rolled about an axis generally parallel to the longitudinal edges starting with the longitudinal edge away from the backing strip to form an elongated film roll, the elongated film roll being rolled about an axis generally transverse to the longitudinal edges to form a window insulating film roll, A dispenser has a receptacle for rollingly receiving the window insulating film roll, a dispensing outlet being defined in a wall of the receptacle for a free end of the window insulating film roll to pass therethrough during dispensing.

  • Publication number: 20180163459
    Abstract: A door sweep comprises an elongated U-shaped body formed by a base and a pair of upright walls, the U-shaped body configured for being mounted to a bottom portion of a door. The elongated U-shaped body may float relative to the bottom portion of the door when installed. Biasing member(s) in the elongated U-shaped body may bias the downwardly base away from the bottom portion of the door. A fastener cover may be connected to one of the upright walls, with a hinge formed at a junction between the fastener cover and U-shaped body, for hinging the fastener cover. Hinges may be formed at a junction between the base and each of the upright walls, for hinging the upright walls.

  • Patent number: 7077029
    Abstract: A cycle handlebar is provided comprising a central cross piece, a pair of forearm pad supports extending from the cross piece, each of said pad supports having a length extending substantially parallel to the cross piece and a pair of laterally spaced steering arms extending generally forward from the cross piece. A steering arm and forearm rest assembly for a cycle handlebar is also provided, comprising: a handlebar stem, a pair of laterally spaced steering arms, and a pair of forearm pad supports each having a length to be positioned substantially parallel to and spaced from said cross piece. The steering arms and forearm pad supports have mating clamp parts forming first clamps for attaching a steering arm and pad support to each other and to the stem.

  • Publication number: 20040187318
    Abstract: There is provided a rotary style trimmer that has a blade carriage for carrying one or more interchangeable cutting blades. The blade carriage has a connector for enabling the blade carriage to be connected to a guide rail, a handle that enables an operator to manipulate and/or guide the one or more cutting blades, and a guard for at least partially covering at least one of the cutting blades. When a new and/or different blade is desired, the entire blade-guard assembly is removed and replaced thereby providing improved safety.
