  • Publication number: 20230018446
    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for air purification in an airflow tract of vacuum cleaners. In some aspects, an air purification system for a vacuum cleaner comprises an ultraviolet (UV) light unit disposed in a first location within the vacuum cleaner along an airflow pathway, configured to emit UV light at air containing particles including dust, dirt, and microbes while the air containing the particles is flowing in the airflow pathway where the UV light unit is disposed; and a particle filter unit disposed in a second location within the vacuum cleaner along the airflow pathway, the particle filter unit comprising one or both of a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter and an active carbon filter.

  • Patent number: 9848592
    Abstract: An improved agricultural spray boom having a primary section, a secondary section and a break away section is provided. The primary section has a top extrusion having a web and two tubes, each tube having a heat sink and a wing. No welds are located above the centerline of the tubes where stress would be the greatest. The secondary section is pivotally attached to the primary section. Weight of the second section and break away section cause a twisting force to be applied to the primary section. The primary section has specially oriented side braces which act in compression to resist the twisting force. The primary section further has a steel connector connected to the underside of the extrusions (and not welded to top of extrusions). The secondary section also has a top extrusion with a web and two tubes.

  • Publication number: 20110303798
    Abstract: A wall-mountable slatwall system for use with one or more mounting components includes first and second rail members. The first rail member includes a wall engaging portion disposed on a rear side and a rearward oriented first hook portion disposed on a front side. The second rail member includes a wall engaging portion disposed on a rear side and a forward oriented second hook portion disposed along a first edge of a front side and pivotally receivable between the first hook portion and the wall engaging portion of the first rail member when the second rail member is assembled with the first rail member. The wall engaging portion of the first rail member obstructs lateral disengagement of the second hook portion from the first hook portion.
