  • Publication number: 20220017131
    Abstract: Implementations of a lawn roller-wheelbarrow are provided. The lawn roller-wheelbarrow comprises a roller-wheel that can be used to even out a lawn surface and a tray adapted to carry a load. Through the use of a wheel adapted to act as a lawn roller, the tray can be used to transport a load without leaving a track, or potentially creating a rut, in the lawn surface. The preferred implementation of the lawn roller-wheelbarrow comprises: a frame that includes a pair of handles, a tray mounted on the frame that is adapted for carrying a load, and a roller-wheel rotatably mounted to the frame. The roller-wheel has the general shape of a cylinder and a length L that is greater than its width W (or diameter).

  • Patent number: 10968038
    Abstract: Implementations of a collapsible tilt truck that can be used to collect, transport, and dump refuse are provided. The tilt truck is configured so that it can be collapsed (or folded) when not in use, thereby facilitating its storage in a compact space. The tilt truck comprises a collapsible frame and collection bin. The collection bin comprises a two-part bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and two lateral side panels, each of the panels is attached to the collapsible frame. The lateral side panels are configured to fold when the tilt truck is collapsed. In some implementation, the collapsible tilt truck includes a trash bag bracket that is positioned within the collection bin. In this way, a trash bag can be secured to the trash bag bracket and used to collect and transport loose trash and/or recyclables separately from the refuse generally stored in the collection bin.

  • Publication number: 20210085148
    Abstract: Implementations of a floor cleaning machine are provided. The floor cleaning machine is adapted to mop floors (e.g., tile, linoleum, concrete, and like floors) and comprises: a wheeled carriage assembly having a push handle; and a mop assembly that includes an endless mop belt, moistened with a cleaning solution, that can be driven through a cleaning circuit during which the underlying floor is mopped. The floor cleaning machine is configured so that rotation of at least one wheel of the wheeled carriage assembly drives the endless mop belt through the cleaning circuit. In some implementations, the mop assembly is configured to wring out the endless mop belt as it is driven through its cleaning circuit and the floor cleaning machine further comprises a filtration and recirculation system configured to moisten the endless mop belt and collect cleaning solution wrung from the endless mop belt by the mop assembly.

  • Patent number: 9282780
    Abstract: An article of footwear for a prosthesis is provided and may include an upper, an outsole attached to the upper, and a midsole disposed between the upper and the outsole. The article of footwear may also include a cavity having a first portion defined between the upper and the midsole that receives the prosthesis when the prosthesis is inserted into the article of footwear and a second portion having a constant dimension between the upper and the midsole along the length of the second portion. The second portion may extend in a direction substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the midsole and may receive a distal end of the prosthesis when the prosthesis is fully inserted into the article of footwear.
