Abstract: A dispensing system includes a first metering system including a first housing, a first metering rod at least partially disposed within the first housing, and a first assembly defining a first metering chamber and releasably connected to the first housing. The first metering rod linearly translates through the first metering chamber so as to dispense a discrete amount of a first material from the first metering chamber. The dispensing system also includes a second metering system including a second housing, a second metering rod at least partially disposed within the second housing, and a second assembly defining a second metering chamber and releasably connected to the second housing. The second metering rod linearly translates through the second metering chamber so as to dispense a discrete amount of a second material from the second metering chamber. The first metering system is releasably connected to the second metering system.

Abstract: A roller that is particularly useful for use with golf course greens. The roller has a base having front, rear and opposing sides, the base having a frame and a deck disposed on the frame. An operator seat is disposed on a base deck and fixedly oriented toward the front of the roller. Operator controls are disposed in front of the seat. The roller has a driven roller which normally rolls substantially in the front and rear directions. The driven roller is cylindrical and rotates about an elongated axis which is oriented substantially normally side to side with respect to the roller. The driven roller is disposed behind the seat.

Abstract: An improved cosmetic brush for the application of powder is made using synthetic bristles of nylon or polyester having a median diameter of about 3 mils and having a gentle random and irregular wavy configuration along the lengths of the bristles. The random and irregular wavy configuration provides the advantages of improving the fullness of the brush and at the same time improving both pick-up and lay-off of powder.
