Patent number: 11229160Abstract: A trimmer head for a trimmer having a shaft defining a rotation axis is provided. The trimmer head includes a housing including a main housing and a lower cover, wherein the main housing contains a pair of opposed eyelets through which trimmer line is discharged. A spool is encased within the housing, with a bump knob connected thereto, and has a passageway with opposed ends and extending from one side of the spool to another, the opposed ends being alignable with the eyelets to receive the line. A first set of ramps is located on an inside surface of the main housing and a second set of ramps is located within a center barrel of the spool. The two sets of ramps interact to control the direction of releasing line from the trimmer head and forcing indexing of the spool when the bump knob is bumped.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: SHAKESPEARE COMPANY, LLCInventor: David Skinner

Patent number: 10563802Abstract: A system for coupling at least one flexible hose is provided that includes first and second annular connecting elements. In a system mounting position, the second element is inserted partially into the flexible hose and the first element is mounted on the second element to compress the flexible hose. The first element includes a tubular body, and a proximal end having an annular part. The tubular body is divided from the annular part by axially extending openings that form at least two hooking portions with hook-shaped ends. The second element includes a first sealing projection and a second retaining projection formed beyond the first sealing projection. The second projection cooperates with the hooking portions. More specifically, the annular part comprises an annular inner protrusion to form a constriction between a bottom and top of the sealing projection side facing the said first end of the second element.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: AVON AUTOMOTIVE UK HOLDINGS LIMITEDInventors: Paul Felstead, David Skinner, Joseph Barrie Whiteman

Patent number: 9361225Abstract: A system for writing data includes a memory, at least one memory controller and control logic. The memory stores data units. The memory controller receives a write request associated with a data unit and stores the data unit in the memory. The memory controller also transmits a reply that includes an address where the data unit is stored. The control logic receives the reply and determines whether the address in the reply differs from an address included in replies associated with other memory controllers by a threshold amount. When this occurs, the control logic performs a corrective action to bring an address associated with the memory controller back within a defined range.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Rami Rahim, Pradeep S.
