Abstract: A landscape edging installation includes ends of landscape edging joined together by a connector. The connector may have holes in lugs that are aligned with holes in the landscape edging tabs to receive a ground spike therethrough. The connector conceals a gap between the adjacent edging pieces.

Abstract: This invention in various embodiments is a spike for use with landscape and paver edging. The spike may include a generally circular disk-shaped head and opposite from the head is a tip of the spike. The spike may include one or more features for securing the spike in place once installed with the edging product. Another feature according to various embodiments of this invention of the spike is an upper head stabilizer. The stabilizer may extend from the shaft to an underside of the head. In some embodiments, the stabilizer may be provided in discrete sections and positioned diametrically opposite from one another on the shaft and the undersurface of the head. The stabilizer may support the entire radial dimension of the head and is joined to the shaft.

Abstract: A landscape edging installation includes ends of landscape edging joined together by a connector. The connector may have holes in lugs that are aligned with holes in the landscape edging tabs to receive a ground spike therethrough. The connector allows for and conceals a gap between the adjacent edging pieces. Thus, the arrangement allows for movement, such as contraction and expansion of the edging pieces along a length thereof. Such movement prevents damage to, or improper shifting of the landscape edging installation with respect to the surrounding environment due to large changes in temperature of the installation.

Abstract: A filter cup having a shell with a plurality of apertures in an upper portion and an aperture free portion below the upper portion. A base plate adjacent the aperture free portion has at least one aperture therethrough.

Abstract: A compact machine for cleaning floors includes (1) a solution tank and dispensing means for dispensing solution onto the surface to be cleaned, (2) a hose and squeegee assembly for picking up dirty solution, (3) a recovery tank far receiving the dirty solution from said hose, and (4) a vacuum motor communicating with said hose.

Abstract: A rotary impact tool having a twin hammer mechanism that generally includes a housing having a hollow cage or carrier member positioned therein. A pair of hollow hammer members are pivotally positioned relative to the hollow cage or carrier member so the hollow hammer members rotate with the hollow cage or carrier member under drive from an air motor output shaft. An anvil is positioned inside the hollow hammer members and the anvil rotates relative to the hollow hammer members. The anvil preferably includes a forward anvil lug, a rearward anvil lug and an annular ring positioned intermediate the forward anvil lug, and the rearward anvil lug. To facilitate assembly of the anvil through the hollow hammer members, the annular ring could be a reduced diameter annular ring or the sides of a full diameter annular ring could be reduced or narrowed. Positive spacing of the hollow hammer members can be achieved by placing a spacer between the hollow hammer members.

Abstract: A longitudinally extending seal is provided which provides circumferential sealing of a motor cylinder in a bore and further provides retention orientation and alignment for the motor cylinder and end plates within the motor housing.
