Abstract: A fluid dispensing scrubber includes a shaft having a first end and a second end; a fluid inlet configured to receive a first fluid from an external source; a reservoir configured to store a second fluid; a valve assembly configured to selectively mix the first fluid and the second fluid; a scrubbing head supported adjacent the first end of the shaft, the scrubbing head including a brush and a motor operable to rotate the brush; a battery pack supported adjacent the second end, the battery pack operable to provide power to the motor; and a dispensing nozzle configured to selectively dispense one or both of the first fluid and the second fluid, the nozzle supported on an exterior surface of the scrubbing head.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for controlling a ceiling fan are disclosed. One example system may include a sensor device and a remote device. The remote device may be configured to generate an instruction based on the data obtained from the sensor device, and transmit the instruction via the communications network to a fan. The fan may include a hub, a plurality of fan blades extending from the hub, and a motor supported by the hub. The fan may further include a wireless transceiver supported by the hub. The wireless transceiver may be configured to access the communications network for communicating with the remote device. The fan may further include an electronic processor supported by the hub. The electronic processor may be configured to control an operation of the fan based on receiving the instruction from the remote device via the wireless transceiver.

Abstract: A charger base station that receives a battery powered carpet seaming iron and includes a removable tray with an upper surface formed to receive the carpet seaming iron. The tray receives a metal insert that is formed to fit between the carpet seaming iron and the tray. The underside of the tray includes a mating formation that mates with mating formations on an upper surface of a charger base station, thus securing the tray to the charger base station. The charger base station also has an interface for receiving and mating with the battery powered carpet seaming iron, which includes electrical connection elements for connecting to the battery powered carpet seaming iron. The charger base station has an AC supply interface that is coupled to an internal power supply circuit. The power supply circuit is also coupled to the interface for receiving and matting with the battery powered carpet seaming iron.

Abstract: A carpet seamer including an iron, a handle, and a neck. The iron includes a base plate and a heater configured to transmit heat to the base plate. The handle has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The second end faces a direction of travel of the carpet seamer when the carpet seamer is in operation. The neck connects the iron with a lower portion of the handle. The carpet seamer also includes a battery receiving portion positioned at the second end of the handle. The battery receiving portion is configured to receive a releasably attachable battery pack. The carpet seamer further includes a seamer electronic processor coupled to the heater.

Abstract: A battery powered carpet seaming iron system includes a battery powered carpet seaming iron, a base station for receiving the battery powered carpet seaming iron, and a releasable battery pack attached to the carpet seaming iron. Power is supplied to the battery powered carpet seaming iron from either of the base station or the battery pack. The base station receives AC power from an external source and supplies power to operate the battery powered carpet seaming iron, and to charge the batteries of the battery pack. Charging power from the base station is received at the battery powered carpet seaming iron and is transmitted by the carpet seaming iron to the battery pack. The battery pack supplies power to the seaming iron for operation of the seaming iron when the seaming iron is removed from the base station.
