Abstract: A power management system includes a relay connected to an electrical load, a power management module configured to receive electrical power from each of a battery and a utility source, and in communication with the relay, and a controller in communication with the battery and the power management module. The controller monitors a battery load on the battery and communicates to the power management module to selectively disconnect the relay connected to the electrical load based on the battery load.

Abstract: A power management system for selectively providing power to one or more electrical loads using a standby generator includes a meter mounted transfer switch, a power management module, and a controller. The meter mounted transfer switch is configured to receive electrical power from a utility source. The power management module is configured to receive electrical power from each of the standby generator and the utility source. The controller is in communication with the standby generator and the power management module, and monitors a load on the standby generator and communicates to the power management module to selectively disconnect at least one of the one or more electrical loads based on the monitored load.

Abstract: A power management system includes a generator, a meter mounted transfer switch, and a power management module. The generator includes a controller positioned in the housing of the generator. The generator connects to the power management module to provide power to one or more electrical loads. The controller is configured to selectively disconnect at least one of the electrical loads by communicating, via a wireless gateway, to a transfer switch of the power management module to move between first and second positions for connecting the generator to the one or more electrical loads.

Abstract: A transfer switch and load controller that can be plugged into an existing utility meter socket and electrically positioned between the meter socket and a distribution panel to allow switching between utility power and standby power. The plug-in transfer switch functions to transfer the power supplied to a home between the utility power source and the generator power source upon loss of power from the utility power source. The transfer switch components are contained in an enclosed housing of a meter socket adapter that is mounted directly to the meter socket of a meter housing. The meter socket adapter is prewired to a standby generator such that the standby generator can be connected to a home power system by plugging the meter socket adapter into the meter socket.

Abstract: A lubricant dispensing cartridge includes a body including a container storing a pressurized fluid, a hose coupling directly connected to the body, and an actuator configured to open the container to allow the pressurized fluid to exit the body through the hose coupling.

Abstract: A pressure washer includes a prime mover, a pump, and a spray gun. The spray gun including a handle with a first grip portion, a barrel including a second grip portion, a flow-control valve movable between an open position and a closed position, and a user interface to control the flow-control valve. A presence sensor is coupled to the second grip portion to detect the presence of the user's second hand. A first wireless system is electrically coupled to the presence sensor. A second wireless system is electrically coupled to the prime mover. The first wireless system transmits a start signal to the second wireless system when the presence sensor detects the presence of the second hand of the user. The second wireless system, upon receiving the start signal causes the prime mover to start operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pressurized fluid delivery apparatus, such as a pressure washer or sprayer, including a pump for providing a pressurized fluid, a conduit fluidly connected with the pump to receive the pressurized fluid, a fluid accessory fluidly connected with the conduit to receive the pressurized fluid from the conduit, and a quick-disconnect assembly selectively fluidly connecting the fluid accessory and the conduit. The quick-disconnect assembly includes a male fitting coupled to one of the fluid accessory and the conduit. The male fitting includes a male component and a non-circular outer surface. The quick-disconnect assembly also includes a female fitting coupled to the other of the fluid accessory and the conduit. The female fitting includes a female component having an opening for receiving the male component and a non-circular inner surface coupled to the non-circular outer surface to prevent rotation between the male fitting and the female fitting.
