  • Pressure washer coupler with 360 degree rotation
    Patent number: 9593791
    Abstract: A pressure washer coupler is provided between the wand and spray nozzle of the pressure washer so that the angle of the spray can be selectively set. The coupler includes male and female quick connectors for the wand and the spray nozzle. A spring biased detent assembly allows one end of the coupler to be rotated 360° relative to the other end of the coupler, with the detent assembly maintaining the ends in a selected position. Thus, the spray can be directed parallel or perpendicular to the wand axis, and to numerous orientations therebetween.

  • Tuning apparatus
    Publication number: 20060119741
    Abstract: A tuning apparatus compensates for temperature-related frequency variations of a filter. According to an exemplary embodiment, the tuning apparatus includes an RF signal source, a tuner, and the filter. The tuner includes a local oscillator and is coupled between the RF signal source and the filter and provides an IF signal for the filter. The tuner also includes a frequency adjustment mechanism for adjusting the frequency of the local oscillator in response to a temperature characteristic of the filter.
