  • Patent number: 12504134
    Abstract: A modular decor apparatus includes a base, an elongated charging member, and at least one modular powered unit removably coupled to the elongated charging member by a magnetic force. The elongated charging member has a first end connected to the base and a second end. The elongated charging member extends from the base from the first end to the second end, and comprises at least one shaft and a current carrying conductor coiled around the at least one shaft. The current carrying conductor generates an electrical signal from a power source. The at least one modular powered unit is capable of receiving the electrical signal from the elongated charging unit to power the at least one modular powered unit. The at least one modular powered unit can be a task light, an ambient light, a ring light, a speaker, and/or a charging port, among other examples.

  • Patent number: 11849670
    Abstract: A walk power mower has a deck with an upwardly and rearwardly extending handle behind which a user walks when operating the mower. The mower is self-propelled by a variable speed traction drive. The handle includes a slidable handle grip for engaging and selecting a speed of the traction drive to control the ground speed of the mower. Forward ground speed is set by pushing the handle grip forwardly on the handle from a neutral position. Reverse ground speed if available is by pulling the handle grip rearwardly from its neutral position. The handle grip follows a curved path as it moves forwardly or rearwardly to flatten the path of travel of the handle grip from the travel that would have occurred absent the curved path.
