Patent number: 8534301Abstract: A steam mop that includes a handle, an extension member, a base mount, a steam generator, and a mop head. The steam generator includes a body that at least partially contains a fluid tank, fluid pump and a heating element used to at least partially vaporize fluid. The body of the steam generator is designed to be releasably connected to the base mount such that the steam generator can be used as a steam producing device for the steam mop or can be disconnected from the base mount and be used as a stand alone steam producing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: Innovation Direct LLCInventors: John R.

Patent number: 7766194Abstract: A household liquid dispensing apparatus includes a container for holding a household liquid and a pump for pumping the household liquid out of the container. The pump includes a pump chamber. A dip tube is adapted to be positioned in the container and communicates with the pump chamber. An exhaust tube communicates with the pump chamber and an outlet for the household liquid. A pump actuator mechanically drives the pump. A motor operatively engages the pump actuator. The motor is electrically connected to a power source. A switch is electrically connected to the motor and the power source. A trigger assembly is operatively connected to the switch to control power delivered to the motor. The trigger assembly is positioned under the outlet for the household liquid for easy actuation by an upturned hand.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2008Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Conopco, Inc.Inventors: David Boll, Jeffrey Kalman, Michael Schiavoni, Craig M. Saunders

Patent number: 7290672Abstract: A crane tower device includes a basket that supports a tower crane and sits within a bay formed by the vertical columns of a building under construction. The basket and the tower crane are supported by support stubs that are attached to the vertical columns. Because the lateral and vertical load is principally distributed vertically to the vertical columns rather than horizontally, no reinforcement of the horizontal beams, floors or any other portion of the building structure are needed, which results in substantial cost savings.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2001Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Federated Equipment Co. LLCInventors: Larry Davis, Larry Howard, Michael Schiavoni
