Abstract: A sound conversion device comprising (i) a housing having an electrical circuit contained therein for receiving and converting one or more audio signals into one or more first DC voltages, wherein the electrical circuit includes a relay switch that is activated by the one or more first DC voltages, wherein in its activated state the relay switch provides an alternating current (AC) voltage or a second DC voltage and (ii) a light display in electrical communication with the electrical circuit, wherein the light display turns on and off in response to the received one or more audio signals.

Abstract: A float switch assembly for detecting fluid levels in a reservoir such as in a Christmas tree stand. When the fluid level drops below a predetermined point, the float switch activates an external circuit which provides a visual and/or audible signal. After the fluid level in the reservoir has been restored to the full position, the switch deactivates the external circuit and the visual and/or audible signal turns off. Also disclosed is a Christmas tree stand in combination with the float switch assembly.

Abstract: A tool for applying a building material and for finishing a bead of building material. The tool includes a handle portion and a flat blade portion having spaced-apart side edges and a front edge. The blade portion of the tool may be provided with an angled portion extending between the front edge and at least one of the side edges of the blade portion or provided with at least one area of weakness extending between the front edge and at least one of the side edges of the blade portion.

Abstract: An electronic device to warn of low water level, particularly in a Christmas tree water reservoir base. A flashing unit provides an affect to an outlet where the strand of lights on the tree or another lighted device will turn on and off until the water is filled into the base again. A message will be played at intervals. The message is recorded by pressing a button then speaking into a microphone. Messages are limited only to the human imagination. The lights will stop flashing and the message will stop playing when the water is filled into the reservoir base. The circuitry is housed separately away from the base to prevent shock.

Abstract: A smoke/heat detector in the form of a Christmas tree ornament utilizes a spherical ornament housing divided by a fire-resistant barrier into lower and upper chambers. A transmitter circuit is mounted atop the barrier and transmits signals to a remote receiver upon detection of entry of smoke or heat into the lower chamber by means of sensors therein. Upon receipt of the transmitted signals by a remote receiver, an energized alarm circuit sounds an alarm indicative of the smoke or fire presence. Both circuits include SCR components and internal power sources so that the circuits, once initially energized, will continue to transmit signals and/or sound the alarm after initial start up.
