  • Publication number: 20220227004
    Abstract: A method, software application, and system for assembling a pattern and cutting and applying a film to a vehicle, including: receiving a vehicle identification and obtaining the pattern associated with the received vehicle identification using pattern assembly instructions stored in a memory and executed by a processor; modifying the pattern using pattern modification instructions stored in the memory and executed by the processor; transmitting the pattern to a cutting machine, wherein the cutting machine is operable for cutting the film according to the pattern; and transmitting installation instructions associated with the pattern to a mobile device that is adapted to be utilized by an installer/user and display the installation instructions proximate the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10219504
    Abstract: A fishing tackle retrieval device for freeing snagged fishing tackle includes a ring that is oblong, thus defining a narrow end and a wide end. A bar is coupled to the ring proximate to the wide end. A loop is coupled to the bar distal from the ring and extends curvedly from the bar, defining a free end that is positioned proximate to the bar. The free end and the bar define a slit in the loop. A cut is positioned through the ring proximate to the narrow end. A coupler, configured to couple to a retrieval line, is coupled to and positioned on the wide end. A notch is positioned in the ring at the narrow end. The notch is configured to couple to a fishing line-leader connection as the ring is pulled toward the surface, such that the fishing tackle is disengaged from the obstruction.

  • Patent number: 7945989
    Abstract: A wet extraction floor cleaning device having a base assembly adapted for movement on a surface being cleaned, an operating handle pivotally attached to the base assembly, a supply tank having a supply tank outlet, and a recovery tank having a recovery tank inlet and a recovery tank outlet. The base assembly has an inlet nozzle that extends from an inlet slit proximal the surface being cleaned to a nozzle outlet. The device further includes a fluid deposition assembly that can be selectively placed in fluid communication with the supply tank outlet, a vacuum source, and first and second external pockets. The supply and recovery tanks are adapted to be selectively placed in the first and second external pockets, thereby placing the supply tank outlet in fluid communication with the fluid deposition system, the recovery tank inlet in fluid communication with the nozzle outlet, and the recovery tank outlet in fluid communication with the vacuum source inlet.

  • Patent number: 7373690
    Abstract: A floor cleaning device having a base assembly and an operating handle selectively movable between an extended position and a collapsed position. The operating handle has a lower handle connected to the base assembly and an upper handle connected to the lower handle. The lower handle is pivotally connected to the base assembly and the upper handle is pivotally connected to the lower handle. The handle is moved to the collapsed position by folding the lower handle downward relative to the base assembly and folding the upper handle relative to the lower handle. The base occupies a floor space defined by an outer periphery of the base assembly, and the lower and upper handles are positioned above the base assembly and do not extend laterally and longitudinally a substantial distance from the outer periphery of the base assembly when the operating handle is moved to the collapsed position.
