  • Patent number: 6302336
    Abstract: A watering container with a rotatable nozzle having a plurality of water delivery patterns. In particular, a rotatable nozzle having a plurality of water delivery patterns is rotationally attached to a water spout on a watering container. A user can turn the rotatable nozzle to select the desired water delivery pattern. In a preferred embodiment of the watering container, the user may select either a steady stream water pattern or a dispersed rosette water spray pattern. The watering container includes an internal fluid reservoir which can vary in volume based on the needs of the user. Water exits the internal fluid reservoir and flows through the water spout and then through the water delivery pattern selected by the user on the rotatable nozzle when the watering container is properly tilted. An integral elongated handle on the watering container enables the user to reduce stress on their hand and wrist during the tilting process.

  • Patent number: 5954413
    Abstract: Storage container for small articles. A storage container for small articles provides a stationary upright cabinet open at the front, one or more bins received in the cabinet and tiltable between an upright closed position and a forwardly tilting open position, and a latch secured to a front wall of the bin for locking the bin in the closed upright position. The cabinet includes a vertical back wall and vertical side walls which have lower edges that are adapted to rest on a horizontal supporting surface, and a bottom wall between these lower edges and directly above the supporting surface. Each bin includes a front wall and a bottom wall joined by a curved transitional surface, which has the curvature of a right circular cylinder. This curved transitional surface rolls along the upper surface of the bottom wall of the cabinet as a bin is moved from an open position to a closed position or vice versa. This rolling motion takes the place of a structure having a fixed pivot axis for supporting a bin.

  • Patent number: 4784432
    Abstract: An article of furniture such as a chair (10) includes a seat member (13), a back member (11) pivotally attached to the seat member (13), leg members (14,16) attached to the seat member (13), and arm members (20) attached to the back member (11). The arm members (20) are associated with the leg members (14,16) such that the angular relationship between the seat member (13) and the back member (11) may be adjusted to a plurality of positions. A track system (26) defines a plurality of adjacent stop positions (29) with a pin member (46) interacting with the track system(26) to engage a stop position (29) therealong. The track system (26) is configured so that upon relative movement of the track system (26) and the pin member (46), the pin member (46) engages the next adjacent stop position (29) thereby moving the back member (11) with respect to the seat member (13 ) only to the next adjacent plurality of relative angular positions.
