  • Patent number: 10068501
    Abstract: A system for displaying and illuminating goods comprises at least one light tube; an electrical connection to a source of electrical energy for illuminating the at least one light tube; and a mechanical arrangement for supporting the light tube so that the light tube provides support for a product to be displayed. A plurality of light tubes can be connected with at least one joiner for joining the light tubes end to end; at least one electrical connection to a source of electrical energy for illuminating at least a first one of the light tubes; and at least one electrical connector for carrying electrical energy between the first one of the light tubes and a second one of the light tubes. Goods are displayed by placing them on goods hangers associated with the light tubes, or on shelves between adjacent light tubes. A low voltage power supply can be used.

  • Patent number: 5038563
    Abstract: A seawater power source for providing pressurized seawater to hydraulic ts which utilize the pressurized seawater as their operating fluid. Included in the present invention is a diesel engine for driving a source of compressed air which, in turn, drives a first pump for withdrawing seawater from the ocean and transferring the seawater to a reservoir, and a second pump driven by the diesel engine for withdrawing seawater from the reservoir, pressurizing the seawater and supplying the pressurized seawater to the hydraulic tools. The present invention also includes a unique hose reel which facilitates the changing of tools by allowing an operator to change pressure and fluid flow rate while the seawater power source is operational.
