  • Patent number: 4329792
    Abstract: The invention relates to a very light weight portable single stage snow remover which is electrically powered, can be operated and manipulated in a sideways swinging fashion in the manner of a broom, can handle normally difficult areas to clean such as steps and patios, can conveniently and easily be used in larger areas such as driveways and sidewalks, and can be pushed forward along the surface to be cleaned without having to swing the unit when forward movement is more desirable than sideward movement. The snow remover comprises a bladed rotor which operates within a housing and is rotated by an electric motor, the blades of the rotor throwing the snow rearwardly and upwardly against a snow collecting and directing wall which projects the snow in the direction desired.

  • Patent number: 4290601
    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed having a circular wobble plate centrally mounted to a base plate via a spherical bearing. A roller assembly is attached about the center mounting point and radially projects intermediate the wobble plate and base plate to create a raised position of one portion of the wobble plate so that weight displacement atop the wobble plate will cause the wobble plate raised position to angularly rotate relative to the base plate.

  • Patent number: 4187323
    Abstract: A novel spray-dried, colored whey product intended for incorporation in baked goods such as doughnut, bread, pastry, and cake mixes, and a novel premix for the preparation of such baked goods. The product is formed by forming a liquid solution of whey solids and an edible coloring, such as yellow, and processing the mixture in any conventional spray-drying processing equipment which will produce a preferably nonhygroscopic, finely particulated, dry, colored, whey product capable of dry-blending with other ingredients such as flour, sugar and shortening to form the aforementioned pre-mixes.

  • Patent number: 4185782
    Abstract: A dual purpose sprayer and spreader device capable of selectively distributing either granular or liquid material upon the ground being traversed. The device includes a hopper supported for travel over the ground, the hopper having a discharge opening in the bottom thereof through which granular material from the hopper falls by gravity onto a rotary impeller which throws the material laterally, the impeller being driven by the ground wheels. To distribute a liquid, a container of liquid, (such as a flexible bag) is inserted in the hopper, the bag having a dispensing tube extending from the lower end thereof, which tube extends through the discharge opening at the bottom of the hopper. The hopper is also provided with a slidable gate which controls the size of the discharge opening from fully open to fully closed and when the tube extends therethrough, the gate functions as a valve for opening and closing the tube.

  • Patent number: 4077076
    Abstract: A multi-sectioned, multi-purpose, illuminated marking device especially suitable as a water buoy in which the components can be readily assembled in end-to-end relationship to provide a buoyant device which can be readily seen for a considerable distance when located in the water or elsewhere. The assembled sections serve to house a lightbulb, batteries, switch system, and a reflector which, when the switch is turned on, causes the light to be magnified and transmitted through the translucent walls of the housing. The device also includes an anchor attached to a line and reel to permit raising and lowering of the anchor, the line being multicolored to enable it to be used as a depth indicator. The exterior of the assembled sections are provided with reflective means such as tape or paint to reflect light and permit location of the device when the electric light system, is inoperative or malfunctioning.
