Patent number: 6375202Abstract: A household cart has a wooden or molded plastic rectangular base for carrying household items. Four caster assemblies on the base are close to the four corners of the base. A U-shaped handle has hooks for carrying household items approximately halfway between side edges of the base, about equidistant from front and back edges of the base. The handle can be positioned either transversely or longitudinally of the base. In the handle transverse position, legs of the handle fit into a first pair of receptacles located between (1) the casters close to the base back edge and (2) the cart transverse center line. In the longitudinal position, the legs fit into a second pair of receptacles located along a longitudinal center line of the base. The receptacles of the first pair are spaced from each other by the same distance as the receptacles of the second pair.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2001Date of Patent: April 23, 2002Inventors: David Weck, Erwin M.

Patent number: 6059124Abstract: A point of purchase system carrying consumer articles that are for sale and displaying information about the articles comprises a vertically extending mounting structure mounting plural point of purchase devices. Each device includes plural elongated elements extending generally parallel to each other. The elements receive and carry plural hanger mechanisms and articles associated therewith. Each element is mounted on the mounting structure so the elements extend generally at right angles from the mounting structure. Adjacent pairs of the elements are connected to each other so the adjacent pairs of the elements are horizontally spaced in approximately the same plane from each other by a distance determined by the spacing of receptacles for the elements on the mounting structure. The adjacent elements together carry a placard spanning the distance between the adjacent elements.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1998Date of Patent: May 9, 2000Assignee: David WeckInventors: David Weck, Erwin M.

Patent number: 5460718Abstract: A water treating device for a domestic water handling device such as a toilet water tank, an air conditioning drain pan or a humidifier includes a housing having permanent magnets in a flow path of water flowing through the housing via openings in the housing, to collect free ions in the water. An antimicrobial polymer disinfecting agent is in a mass inserted in a chamber in the housing and/or in a polymer in a housing surface. The housing is configured so an air bubble forms against the housing roof to assure that a base of the housing rests on the floor of the water handling device. Ribs adding structural strength to the cover are aligned and have approximately the same size and shape as slots in the cover roof through which water passes so the ribs obscure the magnets from view from above and to sides of the cover. The magnets are held in place by a spring finger extending upward from the base to exert a force downwardly against the magnet upper pole face.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 1994Date of Patent: October 24, 1995Assignee: Micasa Trading CorporationInventors: David Weck, Erwin M.
