Abstract: A snow blower has an auger housing that pivots relative to an axle supporting ground engaging members of the snow blower or about an axis substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the snow blower.
Abstract: An apparatus and a method relating to a handle having a neck portion having a throat extending along an axis and having a reduced axial opening and a slit extending along the throat and alongside the axial opening are disclosed.
Abstract: An apparatus includes a mill, a rotary actuator configured to apply torque to the mill, a sensor configured to sense a parameter corresponding to rotation of the mill and a controller configured to generate control signals based upon acceleration of the mill. Rotation of the mill is modified as a result of the control signals.
Abstract: An apparatus and method is a fan to direct air through a screen to cool the engine. A cyclonic air cleaner assembly receives air from the blower fan and directs the air towards a carburetor.
Abstract: A decoy has a body and a stand to support the body. In one embodiment, the stand has a least three legs which pivot between extended and collapsed positions, wherein a retainer structure releasably retains the legs in the extended positions. In another embodiment, the decoy includes an interconnect for securing the stand to the body. The interconnect snaps into connection with the body. In one embodiment, the interconnect has a pair of circumferential openings retaining the stand along the body during shipment.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a shell connection mechanism configured to be actuated between a connected state in which a mechanism is connected to a shell and a disconnected state and an actuator configured to move the first mechanism while the first mechanism is in the connected state to move the shell.
Abstract: A time entry recording and management system includes a plurality of fields, a selector and an actuator. The plurality of fields includes a date field configured to display a date, a start field configured to display a starting time of a time entry, a stop field configured to display an ending time of the time entry, a description field configured to display a description of the time entry, and at least one code or designation field configured to display a code or designation assigned to the time entry. The selector is movable between at least two of the plurality of fields. The actuator is configured to perform at least one of a plurality of functions upon being actuated depending upon in which of the plurality of fields the selector is located. The actuator is also configured to fill in at least two of the fields upon being actuated once in some instances.
Abstract: A battery bundle includes a first battery having a first outer surface with a first graphic, a second battery substantially identical to the first battery in all respects except that the second battery has a second outer surface with a second graphic distinct from the first graphic and a packaging binding the first battery and the second battery.
