Abstract: The present invention is a lighted display system which interacts with its environment. Sensors and product and consumer databases feed information to a central processing unit which then selects a given lighting pattern to control illumination of a product display. Relevant information could include consumer profiles, product sale data, discount data, product location and consumer presence. Lighting is then used to draw a consumer's attention to product in which the consumer may have more interest.

Abstract: An aerator is disclosed. The aerator features a rotatable tine assembly so as to avoid obstacles or aid in the extrication of the aerator therefrom. The tine assembly includes a plurality of tines mounted about a crank shaft and projecting through said retractor plate. Each tine rod passes between two rollers, one serving as a fulcrum is mounted directly on the retractor plate while the other is mounted upon a spring arm that biases the tine rod as far as possible into a forward position. The aerator is driven by the tines used to puncture the ground.

Abstract: Disclosed is a work light with convertible configurations. First is a light head mounted upon a stand with an extendable neck. The second is a flashlight. A third is presented when the neck is extended in the flashlight mode. The stand is ideally a tripod with legs collapsible into a central body to form the flashlight handle, a movable stop being provided to support the legs when deployed. A double linkage hinge is also provided the head and neck. Magnets may be applied at both the head and the end of an extendable retainer cap such that the work light may be used as an extendable pick up tool with the magnet in the head and it may be mounted solely by the magnet in the cap, even against the pull of gravity. The extendible retainer cap may also be utilized as an extra center leg.

Abstract: Disclosed is a work light with two convertible configurations. The first configuration is a light mounted upon a stand with an extendable neck. The second is a flashlight. A third, intermediate configuration is presented when the neck is extended in the flashlight mode. The light head has a standard twist switch and a key interface with the body to maintain a lower portion of the head in a stationary position relative to the body when in the work light is in the flashlight configuration. The stand is a tripod with legs collapsible into a central body to form the flashlight handle, a movable stop being provided to support the legs when deployed and hold the legs, along with the body, when stowed in the flashlight configuration. A double linkage hinge is also provided the head and neck for allowing motion of the head relative the remainder of the work light.

Abstract: A walk-behind power turf aerator having a rigid unibody construction and being shiftable into a highly compact configuration to facilitate transportation and storage thereof. The power turf aerator utilizes the reciprocal movement of a plurality of generally upright tines to create a relatively dense plug pattern in the turf.

Abstract: To permit ready transportation of equipment for a baseball game to the field and hold it in ready condition during a game, a ball and bat carrier has a wire frame with: (a) an enclosed general storage area centrally located; (b) ball holders on either end of the enclosed general storage area; (c) a bat storage section in front of the enclosed general storage area; and (d) a game bat rack near the bottom of the ball and bat carrier. The ball and bat carrier may be mounted on a wire fence at the ballpark and the ball bats removed from a secure storage position to a more readily available hanging position on the game bat rack. Other items may be stored in the enclosed general storage area such wallets or the like during the game.
