Abstract: A treadmill includes a running belt rotatable in a direction of motion and including a plurality of slats. At least one slat in the plurality of slats includes a top portion, a longitudinal rib extending away from the top portion and oriented along a longitudinal direction of the slat, and a bottom flange coupled to the longitudinal rib at or near a vertical bottom of the longitudinal rib such that the longitudinal rib is substantially positioned between the top portion and the bottom flange. The bottom flange extends away from the longitudinal rib on opposing sides of the longitudinal rib.

Abstract: A four-stroke internal combustion engine is provided that is capable of use in many power tools, including those power tools subjected to tippable applications. There is provided within an engine housing, an oil reservoir and a valve chamber which independently communicate with a crank chamber. A system of strategically placed dividers and passageways within the engine housing appropriately directs lubricant within the engine housing so that the internal cavity of the engine is lubricated during use in any operational attitude, and so that the lubricant flows to and is held in the proper chambers during storage. There is also provided a breather arrangement for an internal combustion engine which includes a camshaft having a hollow passageway in communication with a crank chamber.
