Abstract: A blade position sensing system for a garden tool is provided. The system includes a driveshaft coupled to one or more blades of a blade assembly. The driveshaft is operably coupled to a motor to selectively rotate the driveshaft relative to a threaded shaft and translate the driveshaft along a linear direction. The driveshaft and the threaded shaft are coupled to one another at a threaded interface. Linear translation of the driveshaft angularly translates one or more blades of the blade assembly. A magnet is coupled to the driveshaft. A proximity sensor is positioned in magnetic communication with the driveshaft. A change in distance between the proximity sensor and the driveshaft changes an output voltage by the proximity sensor.

Abstract: A headlamp includes a strap, a bracket coupled to the strap, and a first lighting assembly pivotally coupled to the bracket and including a first light housing enclosing a first LED, a battery housing enclosing a battery configured to power the first LED, and a first actuator operable to toggle the first lighting assembly between a first plurality of operating modes. The headlamp also includes a second lighting assembly coupled to the strap and having a plurality of second LEDs and a second actuator operable to toggle the second lighting assembly between a second plurality of operating modes such that the lighting assemblies are operable independently. A wire extends between the lighting assemblies to provide power from the battery to the plurality of second LEDs. The second lighting assembly extends along more than 50% of a circumference of the strap and follows a curvature of the strap.

Abstract: A portable lighting device includes a body having an interior cavity, a lighting unit supported by the body including a light emitting diode, and a terminal block supported within the interior cavity of the body. The terminal block configured to connect to a power source and provide electrical energy to the lighting unit to illuminate the light emitting diode. The portable lighting device also includes a port formed in the body in communication with the interior cavity. The port configured to allow an electrical wire to pass into the interior cavity to couple the electrical wire to the terminal block. The portable lighting unit further includes a wire clamp supported by the body at the port. The wire clamp includes a single actuator and a clamp. The single actuator is selectively movable relative to the body to move the clamp into engagement with the electrical wire passing through the port.
