  • Patent number: 8632521
    Abstract: A syringe assembly comprises a syringe barrel having an elongated body defining a chamber for retaining fluid, an open proximal end, a distal end and a frusto-conically shaped tip extending from the distal end and having a passageway therethrough in fluid communication with the chamber. The chamber has an inside diameter of at least 13.5 mm. A stopper is in fluid-tight engagement inside the barrel. An elongated plunger rod extends proximally from the stopper through the open proximal end of the barrel. A flange is positioned at the proximal end of the plunger rod. The flange is shaped and positioned to limit the distal motion of the plunger rod in the barrel by contacting the proximal end of the barrel. A tip cap is releasably connected to the tip for sealing the passageway and the chamber contains injectable liquid.

  • Patent number: 6904976
    Abstract: A powered, lightweight soil tillage device, including an elongated hollow support member having a motor and handle at the upper end thereof, and the tillage assembly mounted at the lower end thereof. The tillage assembly comprises a pair of beams which are mounted on opposite sides of a gearbox and driven thereby. The upper ends of the beams are attached to idler or rocker beams so that each of the beams is moved in a generally circular path. Hoe blades or the like are secured to the forward ends of the beams and extend inwardly therefrom so that the hoe blades are disposed one behind the other.
