  • Patent number: 10474994
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes displaying a plurality of fill group identifiers and a map on a user interface. Each fill group identifier represents a separate collection of products that are restocked as a group, and the map has a plurality of flags, each flag indicating the location of a product that needs to be restocked. A request is received through the user interface to set a restocking task for one of the fill groups. When the restocking task is completed, the user interface is updated so that the fill group identifier associated with the request is removed from the user interface and the flags for any products in the fill group associated with the request are removed from the map.

  • Patent number: 7584677
    Abstract: A kit is described that modifies a standard screw jack for a trailer hitch, by introducing a safety lock mechanism. The modified screw jack will be inoperative until the safety lock mechanism is opened. In the inoperative position, the screw jack cannot be turned to lift or lower the trailer hitch. The crank for turning the screw jack will be freewheeling or frozen. Turning a key in a lock keyway will release the safety lock mechanism, thus putting the crank into rotational engagement with the screw jack.

  • Patent number: 7194878
    Abstract: A device for booting the wheel of a vehicle comprises a dual capability for locking the wheel of either small or large vehicles. The booting device comprises a dual pair of pincer arms that are juxtaposed with respect to each other about a base member. The base member is composed of two sliding linkages that allow the pincer arms of one of the pair, to be adjusted about a wheel of a vehicle. The other pair of pincer arms acts as a stand member to prevent movement of the wheel. A lock in the base member secures the position of the arms, and prevents tampering.

  • Patent number: 7059615
    Abstract: A sulky apparatus and method are described. The sulky rides behind a self-propelled mower. The sulky apparatus allows the mower operator to ride behind the mower, as the self-propelled mower is guided about a lawn. Common to the sulky apparatus is a swing arm that extends from the mower to the sulky. The invention comprises a locking mechanism including a footpad having an elongated locating pin extending from the footpad. The pin acts against a coil spring. The operator while continuing to stand on the sulky, forces the footpad and pin against the bias of the coil spring. The pin is then projected into an aperture disposed in a top portion of the sulky, thus locking the mower and sulky together in straight position alignment. Once locked, the mower and sulky can be driven in reverse.

  • Patent number: 7029050
    Abstract: An apparatus for assisting with the handling of a door of a tailgate cart features two springs that are strung in seriatim. The first spring is connected at one end to the tailgate door, and connects to the second spring at its other end. The second spring is anchored at a distal end to the frame of the tailgate cart. The first spring has a shorter length than the second spring. As the tailgate door is pivotally lowered from its upright position, the shorter spring provides a matching small force. As the tailgate door reaches the end of its travel, the second spring adds its force to the first spring, and a greater force is provided to counterbalance the door.

  • Patent number: 6692010
    Abstract: A safety sulky for a self-propelled mower. The safety sulky has a chamber adjacent a platform upon which a mowing operator stands. Two, spaced-apart pins that are biased downwardly by a spring can be made to rise above the chamber by two levers. The two, spaced-apart, spring-biased pins can project through the upper surface of the chamber by standing on the levers. The pins operatively engage with, and rise adjacent to, the elongated arm thus intersecting the swing path of the sulky about the connecting arm, limiting its arcuate movement.
