  • Publication number: 20140261766
    Abstract: A reel assembly includes a rotatable member that rotates about a first axis to wind and unwind a hose from the rotatable member, where the rotatable member also rotates about a second axis that is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. A housing substantially encloses the rotatable member and has a first aperture that receives the hose therethrough and a second aperture spaced apart from the first aperture. A conduit assembly is at least partially disposed within the housing and extends between a first end and a second end, the first end being releasably and operatively coupleable with a liquid source, the first end being accessible through the second aperture and positioned substantially along the second axis. The second end is in fluid communication with a connector on the rotatable member that releasably couples to the hose.

  • Publication number: 20010030864
    Abstract: A flashlight using a single light source is provided having an accessory, such as a magnetic compass or a level, attached thereto. A light conduit communicates light from the light source to the accessory to provide adequate illumination during periods of low ambient light to allow a user to view the accessory. Accordingly, the flashlight uses a single light source that provides both the directed light beam for the flashlight, and the illumination of the accessory. The flashlight optionally includes an integral or attachable compartment for storing valuables or additional accessories.

  • Patent number: 5370455
    Abstract: A storage module assembly for a refrigerator door having an outer shell and an inner liner. The liner includes a rear wall and a pair of side walls forming a recess. The side walls have vertically spaced apart, horizontally aligned pairs of module mounting bosses. Each boss includes top and bottom walls joined by side walls which diverge in the downward direction. Each module includes a bottom wall and side walls positionable adjacent the liner side walls. The module side walls include slots with horizontal portions open to the rear and vertical portions at their opposite ends. The vertical portions have downwardly diverging side walls and receive the bosses in a conforming overfitting manner. A module is mounted in the door by sliding the horizontal portions of the slots over the bosses and then moving the module downward to seat the bosses in the vertical portions.
