  • Patent number: 6892497
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system, or kit, of injection molded panels having integrated connectors which combine to form an enclosure, commonly in the form of a utility shed. The bilaterally symmetrical panels are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The ends of the wall panels have cavities to accept both roof and floor outwardly projecting interlocking posts for interlocking cooperative engagement which serve to rigidly connect the components together. The bilateral symmetry of the wall, roof, floor and door components also minimizes component shapes and simplifies enclosure construction.

  • Patent number: 6877687
    Abstract: A direct current powered hose rewinding apparatus for use with an associated flexible hose includes a removable, replaceable, and rechargeable battery assembly for motorized rewinding of the hose. The reel is carried by and enclosed within an enclosure and is rotatable by either a direct current powered motor or a folding manual crank. Power from the electrical motor is transferred to the reel via an infinitely adjustable torque transfer assembly. The enclosure has left and right wall panels, front and rear wall panels extending between the left and right wall panels, and a cover. When the cover is in the open position, the direct current motor is operationally locked out, and when the cover is rotated into the closed position, the direct current motor is operable.

  • Publication number: 20050017117
    Abstract: The present invention relates to portable hose carts for handling and storage of flexible hoses, such as garden or air hoses. The cart is primarily constructed of plastic components having a centrally rotatable spool for winding of the flexible hose, an enclosure for supporting the spool, wheels at one end of the base of the enclosure, and a handle assembly for tilting the frame onto the wheels to facilitate moving the device. The handle assembly is telescoping mounted and includes a handle mounted near the top of the handle assembly. The spool is rotatable by either a direct current powered motor or a folding manual crank. Power from the electrical motor is transferred to the spool via an infinitely adjustable torque transfer assembly. When the cover is in the open position, the direct current motor is operationally locked out, and when the cover is rotated into the closed position, the direct current motor is operable.

  • Patent number: 6834670
    Abstract: A hose cart allowing preassembly thereby eliminating the need for product packaging necessary of hose carts that are sold in an unassembled state. The hose cart employs a unitary frame for support of a flexible garden hose to be wound into a coil of multiple layers by use of a directional hose reel spool. A crank is provided for rotation of the spool utilizing a collapsible handle for windably holding an elongated flexible garden hose, the crank can be attached to the side of the apparatus allowing left or right hand operation. The pivoting handle can be repeatedly moved from a locked storage position to a locked cranking position. A sleeve is used to allow the handle to be turned within a fixed grip of the operator.

The cart is primarily constructed of plastic components having a centrally rotatable spool for winding of the flexible hose, a frame for supporting the spool, wheels at one end of the base of the frame, and a handle assembly for tilting the frame onto the wheels to facilitate moving the cart. The handle assembly which may or may not be foldable includes a crank mounted near the top of the handle assembly. The crank remotely drives the spool, for winding the hose, through a series of gears located within the handle. The device may further include a reciprocating guide assembly that operates during rotation of the spool to rewind the hose into a compact configuration.

  • Publication number: 20040189060
    Abstract: A self stabilizing and shock absorbing support structure for a collapsible picnic table having integral benches. The support structure includes U-shaped members resiliently attached to each other in a coplanar arrangement which allows the supports to flex and stabilize independently. This arrangement also allows the support structure to absorb shock which would normally be transferred across the table from one bench seat to the other.
