Abstract: An all terrain vehicle with a tool less maintainable drive system, and having a seat designed to be straddled by the operator. The vehicle has a frame, a plurality of wheels attached to the frame, a steering mechanism attached at least one of the plurality of wheels, an engine mounted to the frame, and a clutch attached to the engine. The vehicle contains a system of features that can be removed without the use of tools. The system has a support attached to and extending outward from the frame, a removable footrest, a receiver attached to the removable footrest and configured to mate with the support, a locking mechanism attached to the receiver to secure the removable footrest with respect to the footrest support; and a removable clutch housing.

Abstract: A first embodiment includes a utility terrain vehicle having four or more wheels, a frame held above the ground by the wheels, and a liquid storage tank. The liquid storage tank is attached to the frame to create a low center of gravity for the utility terrain vehicle.

Abstract: A control circuit for selectively energizing at least one electrical device coupled to the control circuit via a pair of conductive wires with an operating voltage. The control circuit comprises a control circuit for selectively supplying and withholding operating electrical power to at least one electrical device. A first current detector is connected to a control voltage and senses a current flow resulting from closure of a circuit connected to a control voltage in at least one wire of the pair of conductive wires. A second current detector is connected to the operating voltage and senses a current flow resulting from closure of a circuit connected to the operating voltage in at least one wire of the pair of conductive wires. A first switching device responds to the first current detector to disconnect the control voltage from at least one of the wires and to connect the operating voltage to the conductive pair.

Abstract: A module adapted to be used as and an end or intermediate plate for a canister-type vacuum cleaner. The module comprises a disk-shaped body having a plurality of closed peripheral recesses which may be used to mount components to the body, or opened to form passages through the body. A groove is formed in the body to the interior to the peripheral recesses to receive and provide for the positioning of a baffle relative to the plate. In the preferred embodiment the groove is circular and the plate has a closed central recess formed centrally of the recess, which central recess may be opened to form a passage through the body.

Abstract: Electrical energization and control circuit particularly for use in permanently installed vacuum cleaning systems having a centrally located A.C. powered vacuum turbine and a remote flexible cleaning unit equipped with low voltage A.C. or D.C. agitator motors. Energization of the A.C. turbine motor circuit is controlled by a current sensor in the one of the two wires leading to the remote low voltage agitator motor so that a selector switch in the handle of the cleaning unit may, in one position, energize the low voltage agitator motor or, in a second position, bypass the agitator motor through a resistance to initiate a current flow that is sensed by the current sensor to activate the A.C. motor circuit.
