  • Patent number: 7878031
    Abstract: The present invention provides a hand-held wringer for removing liquid from a wet or damp material. A wet or damp material is placed between two rollers and a trigger handle is engaged to reduce the space between one roller's axis relative to an opposite roller's axis so as to expel liquid from every fiber of the material as it is pulled therethrough.

  • Publication number: 20060286918
    Abstract: A self-powered automated air vent comprises a frame suitable for mounting to a duct which carries forced air, a set of louvers within the frame which can be positioned between closed and open positions, and a motor which adjusts the louvers in response to a drive signal provided by a vent-mounted control circuit. The control circuit is preferably arranged to wirelessly receive one or more control signals, and to provide the drive signal in response. An airflow-driven generator positioned within the duct produces an output current when sufficiently driven by forced air. An energy storage device receives and stores the output current, which is used to power the vent-mounted control circuit and louver motor. A wireless central controller is preferably employed to transmit the control signals to each vent's control circuit; a preferred wireless central controller interfaces with and is programmed by a personal computer.

  • Publication number: 20040216256
    Abstract: Disclosed is an extension device for use on a hand-held water wiping apparatus. The extension handle allows for ease of attachment to the apparatus by use of a semi-circular configuration that includes cutouts that allow the device to be walked onto the handle of the hand-held water wiping apparatus by accommodation of the handle protuberances. By use of the cutouts, no modification is necessary to the handle of the handheld water wiping apparatus, and the locking protuberances are maintained to prevent accidental disengagement of the extension device during use.

  • Patent number: 6698057
    Abstract: A cleaning/scrub brush has an adapter integrally molded into the body of the brush. The distal end of the adapter is totally enclosed within the plastic body of the brush and has a structure to increase the surface area of the adapter within the brush to strengthen the molded bond. The proximal end of the adapter has a spring loaded pin to secure an elongated handle to the brush.

  • Patent number: 6383690
    Abstract: A platemaking system uses an intermediate imaging mask made of a film of photochromic material, preferably bacteriorhodopsin. The film is normally transparent, but it is temporary made opaque by exposure to light of a certain wavelength. An image is formed on the mask using light of the appropriate wavelength, which renders portions of the mask opaque. The mask is then interposed between a photosensitive printing plate and a light source which produces light to which the plate is sensitive, exposing the printing plate and thereby transferring the desired image onto the plate. The described method is preferably implemented using a transparent rotating drum that is coated with a bR film. As the drum rotates past a green or yellow laser, a desired image is written onto the film by the laser's beam. The drum rotates the image until it is opposite a photosensitive printing plate, and a light source inside the drum exposes the plate through the mask to transfer the image.
