  • Patent number: 12090506
    Abstract: A fluid sprayer includes a housing, a reservoir, a pump fluidly connected to the reservoir, and an adjustable nozzle assembly positioned downstream from the pump and configured to receive fluid discharged by the pump. The adjustable nozzle assembly includes a nozzle mount fixedly supported by the housing. The nozzle mount includes a conduit in fluid communication with the pump and a pressure seal assembly located within the conduit. The adjustable nozzle assembly also includes a wheel assembly rotatably coupled to the nozzle mount. The wheel assembly includes a selection wheel, a first nozzle coupled to the selection wheel, and a second nozzle coupled to the selection wheel. The wheel assembly is rotatable between a first position at which the first nozzle is located in fluid communication with the conduit and a second position at which the second nozzle is located in fluid communication with the conduit.

  • Patent number: 9340938
    Abstract: A snow thrower comprising a frame, a handle coupled to the frame, a chute coupled to the frame and rotatable between a plurality of positions about a chute axis, and a chute control assembly. The chute control assembly comprises an actuator assembly including an actuator movable between a plurality of positions, a rotatable flexible cable having first and second ends, and a gear assembly comprising at least one gear. The first end is coupled to the actuator assembly in a manner that causes the cable to rotate when the actuator is moved between the plurality of positions. The gear is coupled to the second end in a manner that causes the gear to rotate when the cable rotates. The chute is coupled to the gear in a manner that causes the chute to rotate about the chute axis when the gear rotates.

  • Publication number: 20120066912
    Abstract: A trimmer and a trimmer head for use with the trimmer, the trimmer head including a body rotatable about an axis, the body defining a plurality of axially spaced channels each sized to receive at least a portion of a trimmer line therein, and a clamping mechanism in operable communication with at least two of the axially spaced channels to selectively retain a trimmer line positioned within any one of the at least two axially spaced channels. The trimmer head may include a wear disk pivotable relative to the trimmer head body. In addition, a release button of the clamping mechanism may be arranged on the body to provide additional clamping force when the trimmer head rotates about the axis.
