Abstract: Provided is a portable cylinder including a tank having a mounting collar coupled to an upper portion of the tank, and a handle assembly attached to the mounting collar. The mounting collar has an upwardly extending portion and a plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs extending radially outwardly from the upwardly extending portion, wherein a respective gap is formed between adjacent ones of the plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs. The handle assembly includes a handle having a shroud portion and a handle portion extending from the shroud portion, and an attachment member configured to be coupled to the shroud portion to prevent rotational movement of the handle relative to the collar, the attachment member having a body, a first projection projecting from a front wall of the body for engaging the shroud portion, and a second projection projecting from a back wall of the body for engaging the shroud portion.

Abstract: Provided is a handle assembly for a cylinder. The handle assembly includes a handle support configured to couple to a valve of the cylinder. The handle support includes a body having first and second ends circumferentially spaced from one another to define a gap and a longitudinal passage opening to a top and bottom of the body for receiving the valve, and first and second deflectable arms projecting from the body. The handle assembly also includes a handle rotatably coupled to the handle support. The handle including a top portion, first and second side portions, and an attachment member coupled to the first and second deflectable arms of the handle.

Abstract: Provided is a portable cylinder including a tank having an upper portion having a valve port, a mounting collar coupled to the upper portion of the tank, and a handle attached to the mounting collar. The mounting collar has an upwardly extending portion surrounding the valve port and a plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs extending radially outwardly from the upwardly extending portion, wherein a respective gap is formed between adjacent ones of the plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs. The handle includes a shroud portion including a plurality of circumferentially spaced ledges for abutting an underside of a respective one of the plurality of circumferentially spaced tabs, and at least one tab for engaging the mounting collar in one of the gaps, and a handle portion extending from the shroud portion and having one or more areas for grasping the handle.

Abstract: Provided is a portable gas cylinder including a gas tank having an upper portion, a lower portion, and a collar, the collar including a base secured to the lower portion, a flange extending around and radially outwardly from the base, and a plurality of notches circumferentially spaced around the flange, and a foot ring configured to be attached to the gas tank, the foot ring including a base having an inner surface, an outer surface, a central portion, and a ledge extending around and inward from the central portion, a plurality of circumferentially spaced deflectable longitudinal lock tabs radially outwardly spaced from the central portion for securing the foot ring to the tank, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced rotational lock tabs radially outwardly spaced from the central portion.

Abstract: A spin mop and bucket system to assist in dewatering a mop is disclosed. The spin mop may have a handle assembly slidably connected with a spiral member, and a mop head that is attached to the spiral member. When the handle assembly moves along the spiral member, the spiral member rotates causing the mop head to rotate. The mop head may articulate relative to the handle assembly and may be pivotally connected to the spiral member and also pivotally connected to a swivel member located between the spiral member and a mop head base. The mop head may be received in a wringer basket of a bucket assembly, such that when the mop head spins, the wringer basket spins to expel any excess fluid from the mop head.

Abstract: The present invention provides polypeptides useful as antigens expressed at the pre-erythrocytic stage of the malaria parasite. The antigens can be utilized to induce an immune response and sterile protection against malaria in a mammal by administering the antigens in vaccine formulations or expressing the antigens in DNA or other recombinant protein expression systems delivered as a vaccine formulation.
