Abstract: A lightning current transfer unit (100) for a wind turbine, the lightning current transfer unit (100) comprising a first portion (20a) configured to be electrically coupled to an electrically conducting portion of a blade of a wind turbine electrically connected to a down conductor of the blade and a second portion (20b) configured to be electrically coupled to an electrically conducting portion of a nacelle of the wind turbine connected to a down conductor connected to earth. The first portion (20a) and the second portion (20b) are both independently movable to maintain electrical coupling to the electrically conducting portion of the blade and nacelle respectively. A lightning current transfer portion (104) is provided that comprises a spark gap (106) formed between an electrical connection (108) to the first portion (20a) and an electrical connection (110) to the second portion (20b). The electrical connections (108, 110) are moveable with their respective first or second portion (20a, 20b).

Abstract: A fireplace fountain having a base, a basin adapted to hold a liquid supported by the base, and a hood supported by the base over the basin. A fire pan is supported by the base over the basin and under the hood, with a burner being supported above the fire pan and adapted to be connected to a fuel source. A perforated tubing is supported in the hood, with a pump and supply tube connected thereto. The pump and supply tube are in fluid communication with the basin so that liquid held in the basin may be circulated by a pump to the perforated tubing. Liquid exits the perforated tubing and falls into the basin, but not into the fire pan so that the liquid does not extinguish any flame generated by the burner.

Abstract: A slide lock assembly is provided. The slide lock assembly is primarily for a grab handle assembly having a mounting assembly comprising a cap with a tab and a base with an aperture for receiving the tab. However, the slide lock assembly of the present invention may be used with any mounting or similar assembly comprising a base and cap.

Abstract: The invention is an illuminated grab handle assembly. The assembly includes a generally curved handle, an illumination source positioned remotely from, and for illuminating, the generally curved handle. The illumination source provides the curved handle with a substantially uniform, fully illuminated appearance. The assembly also includes at least one base portion to which at least one end of the generally curved handle is secured. Mounting means secure the base portion to a mounting surface, and an opaque overcap covers the base portion and obscures the mounting means. The illuminated grab handle assembly includes either a single lamp or two lamps acting as the illumination source. The generally curved handle has a pair of ends. The portion of the generally curved handle between the pair of ends is both solid, and has a generally cylindrical cross section. Alternatively, this portion of the curved handle can be tubular.

Abstract: A collapsible, portable outdoor fireplace with a fire screen assembly is easily broken down into its constituent components, which are stored in a space between the cover and bottom members of the fireplace. A fire screen assembly is supported between the cover and bottom members and includes a series of individual screen panels that are hinged together. The fireplace has a support structure that supports it off the ground and includes pairs of legs that are attached to the bottom member. The legs may extend either up through the cover and bottom members or alongside the bottom member. These support legs terminate in handle portions. The legs include moveable joints that permit the handles to be collapsed upon the cover member to retain the cover and base member together.

Abstract: A collapsible, portable outdoor fireplace with a fire screen assembly is easily broken down into its constituent components, which are stored in a space between the cover and bottom members of the fireplace. The fire screen assembly that is supported between the cover top and bottom members and includes a series of individual screen panels that are hinged together. The fireplace has a support structure that supports it off the ground and includes pairs of legs that are attached to the bottom member. The legs extend up through the cover member and terminate in handle portions. The legs include moveable joints that permit the handles to be collapsed upon the cover member to retain the cover and base member together.

Abstract: An outdoor fireplace has an extendible handle that is extendible between two positions so that the fireplace may be easily moved. The handle includes first and second handle members that telescopingly engage each other and which are maintained at an angle with respect to the ground by way of their attachment to the firebowl member of the fireplace. In one position, the handle members are maintained in a collapsed position such that the handle does not extend too far from the firebowl member and serve as an impediment to movement around the fireplace. In the other, extended position, the handle members are extend within each other and the gripping portion of the handle is moved significantly away from the firebowl so that the fireplace may be easily moved without the user being close to the fireplace.

Abstract: An illuminated handle comprising a tubular bar having a first end and a second end, a first lens located at the first end of the bar, a first light source located at the first end of the bar, a first curved mirror partially surrounding the first light source and enclosing the first end of the bar, a polished surface located at the second end of the bar, and a second curved mirror enclosing the second end of the bar.

Abstract: A collapsible, portable outdoor fireplace with a fire screen assembly is easily broken down into its constituent components, which are stored in a cavity between the top and bottom cover members of the fireplace. The fireplace includes hemispherical top and bottom fire bowl members and a fire screen assembly that is supported between the two fire bowl members. The fire screen assembly matches the configuration of the bowl members and includes a series of individual screen panels that are easily assembled together and disassembled without the need for tools. One of the screen panels includes an access door that defines an entrance to the fireplace.

Abstract: A shelf sign system comprising a first shelf and a second shelf, a first mounting bracket attached to the first shelf and attached to the second shelf, the first mounting bracket spanning the first shelf and the second shelf, and a rotatable sign unit engaged with the mounting bracket. The sign unit is slidably engaged with the first mounting bracket permitting lateral movement of the sign unit. The mounting bracket may include a first flange with a first flange opening and a second flange with a second flange opening and a pin rotatably disposed in the first flange opening and the second flange opening, wherein the sign unit is engaged with the pin. The sign unit may include an L-shaped pivot bracket slidably engaging the pin. The sign unit may be rotatable from a first closed to a second open position. Also, a pivot bracket may be vertically slidable along the pin when the sign unit is in the open position so that the sign unit rests against the first and second flange.
