Abstract: A powered spray system designed for home use comprises a chemical supply tank, a sprayer for applying a chemical in the chemical supply tank, and a coupling connecting a water source with the chemical supply tank and sprayer for mixing chemical contained in the chemical supply tank with a stream of water as the water is sprayed. The coupling comprises a first inlet configured to connect to a standard garden hose for connecting the coupling to the water source, an outlet configured to connect to a standard garden hose for connecting the coupling to the sprayer, and a second inlet configured to connect to the chemical supply tank.

Abstract: A roller assembly for a heat transfer printing system or hot foil transfer system is provided. The roller assembly includes a cylindrical roller core that extends around a center axis. The roller core includes an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface. The exterior surface is positioned to face a target object being printed upon. The roller assembly also includes a pliable tube in contact with the exterior surface and positioned to contact a thermal print ribbon disposed between the tube and the target object while the roller core is rotated to apply pressure on the ribbon and print onto the target object from the ribbon. The tube is not bonded to the roller core.

Abstract: A seating cushion for use as a seat bottom, back, headrest, arm or the like in a seating product. The seating cushion comprises an outer enclosure formed of a relatively durable and inert polymer and a resilient inner pad fitted within the enclosure. The outer enclosure is preformed of a three dimensional unitary polymeric wall configured to receive the inner pad so as to cover the top, sides and at least a portion of the bottom of the pad. The preformed enclosure may be used in place of conventional upholstery in most seating products. The wall of the enclosure is generally thicker than conventional upholstery material so as to provide durability and structure, but is sufficiently thin and flexible to enable the user to feel the comfort of the pad disposed within the enclosure. The enclosure is preferably formed of polyurethane molded in a two-sided mold to provide a three dimensional enclosure of controlled thickness.

Abstract: An improved trailer hitch housing is provided having a pair of integrated ribs extending the length of each side of the housing. The ribs strengthen and stiffen the housing by decreasing the tendency of the sides to bend when subjected to stress. The need for internal bracing or end flanges, which are used in prior art devices for strength and stiffness, is eliminated by the use of the ribs.

Abstract: A spine assembly for supporting desk tops and panels and accessories and providing for the passage of utility and communications lines to the desk tops and panels and accessories, as needed. A housing is utilized open at a bottom portion for receiving the utility and communications lines. An internal strut is included within the housing at a top portion of the housing. The internal strut serves as a support for brackets which extend upwardly in turn to support desk tops and panels and accessories as well as a cover assembly. The cover assembly provides an opening through which utility and communications line pass from the interior of the housing to the exterior thereof. In addition, brackets extend through the cover assembly for supporting panels and accessories above the cover assembly. The spine assembly is free-standing, and may be closed off by end panels as an individual item or joined to one or more other spine assemblies to create a system of furniture.
