Abstract: A dual-handle control faucet that includes a pull-out head and a faucet base. The pull-out head is switchable between a first water discharge pattern and a second water discharge pattern. The pull-out head switches from the first water discharge pattern to the second water discharge pattern upon disengagement with the faucet base, which provides for hands-free switching between to two spray patterns.

Abstract: An interlock is provided such that when a standard door lock handle is actuated, it will also open a deadbolt. The interlock is normally in a non-operational position. When a biometric sensor senses that a user wishing to use the door is approved, the interlock is actuated. The use of the interlock saves user movement by allowing the deadbolt to be opened with simple actuation of the standard lock structure.

Abstract: A hand held trimmer for cutting heavy vegetation such as hedges or the like is disclosed. The trimmer includes a handle having a plurality of hand grips thereon. The handle includes mounting means for a conventional cutting means at one end and a convention motor at the other. The trimmer cutting and trimmer motor are preferably disposed at substantially opposite ends of the handle such that the weight of one substantially counterbalances the weight of the other. A resilient drive shaft means is disposed within the handle and extends between the motor to the reciprocating blade drive means so as to substantially avoid damaging the motor and the drive means should the trimmer reciprocating blades become temporarily jammed during operation.
