Abstract: A dustpan for collecting debris may include a handle section; and a collection section being connected to the handle section. The collection section includes a pan floor, a pair of opposing side walls and a back wall for connection to the handle section. The collection section includes a stabilizing wall extending from the pan floor and position in a space relationship with the handle section.

Abstract: A connecting device for a mop having a dissolving tablet or cleaning fluid dosing means has a monolithic piece that is substantially concave, and defines a lower opening and an upper opening; the upper opening being smaller than the lower opening. The upper opening of the monolithic piece is adapted to receive the handle of a mop. There is a sub-connecting device for connecting to the head of the mop around the handle of the mop; the sub-connecting device further comprises a lower edge. The monolithic piece has a lower edge with affixing means for detachably attaching to the lower edge of the sub-connecting device, so that the monolithic piece and the sub-connecting device define a cavity between the monolithic piece and the sub-connecting device suitable for holding a dissolving tablet or cleaning fluid dosing means.

Abstract: A separate filter cartridge and latch release are used to replace a used filter cartridge in a filter assembly having a latch. In one example, the filter cartridge includes opposing end caps that are substantially the same as one another. The end caps have central holes. The filter cartridge is inserted into a filter assembly housing in which the latch prevents a cover from being installed onto a filter assembly housing until the latch is deactivated. The latch release is arranged relative to the filter cartridge to cooperate with the latch to enable the cover to be reattached to the filter assembly housing. The latch release includes tabs that align with features of the latch and extend through the central holes to cooperate with the latch. The latch release is removably secured to the cover and the filter cartridge.

Abstract: A filter includes a housing providing an interior. The housing includes an outlet and an inlet arranged radially outwardly from the outlet. A filter element assembly is arranged within the interior and includes a filter media for filtering fluid within the filter. A turbine includes fins arranged axially beneath the inlet within the interior for centrifugally separating debris from the fluid. The turbine is provided by an integrated end disc, end cap and fins, in one example, molded from plastic. Another end disc or end cap is arranged opposite of the turbine and supports another end of the filter media. The end cap includes a circumferential wall that extends outwardly adjacent to the housing. Recesses are provided in the circumferential wall to permit fluid communication between an inlet side of the filter element assembly and a cavity arranged between the end cap and a bottom of the housing.

Abstract: A fluid filter assembly includes a shroud containing a filter module. A fluid pump is coupled to the shroud and operated to draw transmission fluid from a fluid reservoir in a transaxle housing into the shroud and through the filter module in the shroud to produce a stream of filtered transmission fluid to be pumped to a transmission or other destination in the transaxle housing. The shroud includes a filter housing containing the filter module and a mount flange cantilevered to the filter housing and adapted to mate with the fluid pump.
