  • Patent number: 7458199
    Abstract: A mower attachment comprising an attachment housing and a plurality of blade assemblies. The attachment housing includes an upper surface and front and rear baffles extending downwardly from the upper surface, the front and rear baffles shaped to define a plurality of blade chambers therebetween. The plurality of blade assemblies are positioned within the plurality of blade chambers. A leading plate is operatively connected to the housing and extends away from the plurality of blade chambers. The leading plate includes a plurality of apertures on a top side thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6056908
    Abstract: A method for forming an integrated solenoid circuit system for a motor vehicle transmission. The method includes the steps of providing a solenoid sensor for sensing vehicle transmission states, and a manifold for powering the solenoid sensor, fabricating an electronic circuit to selectively connect the manifold and the solenoid sensor in response to sensed vehicle transmission states, configuring the electronic circuit into a predetermined configuration and molding a housing over the electronic circuit to form a single electrically insulated system construction.

  • Patent number: 5823071
    Abstract: An integrated solenoid circuit system for a motor vehicle transmission, and a method of forming the same. The system comprises a housing including a solenoid subhousing and a transmission range sensor (TRS) subhousing. The system also includes a solenoid sensor operatively located in the solenoid subhousing for sensing activation of transmission solenoids. The plurality of transmission sensors is operatively positioned in the transmission range sensor subhousing for communicating transmission states sensed by the solenoid sensor to the controller. A manifold is operatively mounted in the solenoid subhousing for energizing system components. A transmission sensor circuit operatively connects a plurality of transmission sensors to the manifold for selectively activating each of the plurality of transmission sensors in response to a sensed transmission state. The system integrates the transmission sensors, the manifold and the transmission sensor circuit into a single piece construction.
