Abstract: A motorized wheel is connected to a single boom pivotally connected to a body having front wheels. The body carries a power supply for the motorized wheel in the form of batteries and a generator. A work piece is removably carried on the body by extending across horizontal supports or in a tray having pivot extrusions slideably received on attachment brackets while support extrusions abut with the horizontal supports. The body includes first and second frames including first, second and third legs extending at obtuse angles from each other and a handle extending between the third legs. The body further includes support components holding the first and second frames in a spaced, parallel relation and supporting the batteries and the generator. A sulky is slideably connected to the single boom and upon which a worker stands.

Abstract: A linear power distribution outlet is generally presented. The power distribution outlet includes a housing having at least one side including an opening therein. An insert may be positioned within the housing and formed of an electrically insulating material. The insert may comprise a first slot, second slide and a dividing wall between the first and second slots. The first and second slots may be accessible through the opening in the housing. A first power distribution rail may extend along a length of the insert. The first power distribution rail may be positioned to be exposed to and accessible to the first slot. A second power distribution rail may extend along a length of the insert and may be positioned to be exposed to and accessible to the second slot. The first and second slots may be uniquely shaped and the first and second power distribution rails may be positioned to prevent reverse polarity connections.

Abstract: A depth of cut scale is provided for a circular saw having a foot, a pivoting assembly (including a rotary saw blade) pivotably mounted to the foot, and a depth of cut adjustment mechanism operable to lock the pivoting assembly at a depth of cut (DOC) orientation relative to the foot. The depth of cut scale includes a shelf associated with and pivotable with the pivoting assembly. The shelf includes an upper surface bearing indicia indicative of DOC. An elongated element is fixed at one end relative to the pivoting assembly and includes a pointer adjacent an opposite end arranged to point to the indicia on the upper surface. The pointer is fixed in relation to the shelf as the shelf pivots with the pivoting assembly. The elongated element may be a flexible element that is maintained in tension overlaying the upper surface, or a cantilevered arm.

Abstract: A mount adjustable end cap clamp lock used with an adjustable light source with one or both ends collared by a barrel-type end, which is rotatable within an end cap. The end cap has a mounting surface that works in conjunction with a fastener to secure the lighting system to an object. The clamp pad, which may extend beyond the mounting surface, is slidable relative to the end cap. When the fastener is tightened, the clamp pad slides relative to the end cap to press against the barrel to lock the barrel in angular position and secure the light source from rotating when the fastener is tightened to secure the lighting system to an object. The end cap in conjunction with the clamp pad serves a dual purpose.

Abstract: A beverage container is provided for mounting to vehicles such as power boats, sailboats and recreational vehicles. The beverage container holder is adapted for mounting to support platforms on the vehicle which may be any suitable vehicle structure such as the armrest of a chair. The beverage container holder comprises a mounting ring which is first rigidly affixed to the support platform, and further comprises a cylindrical can having an upper circumferential rim which fits over the mounting ring and includes detents that positively lock the rim onto the mounting ring.

Abstract: A light fixture is provided which includes an improved connector arrangement between a fixture housing and a lens therefor. The connector arrangement includes a pre-mounted plunger cartridge which includes a cartridge body that mounts to the fixture housing and a resiliently biased plunger which projects through the fixture housing wall into releasable locking engagement with the lens.

Abstract: A light fixture for flush mounting against a ceiling wall includes a housing for securement in a wall hole and a light transmitting lens. The lens is flush with the wall and covers the entirety of the housing so that the housing is not viewable when installed. The outer edge of the lens is out of line of sight relation with the light source, but provides illumination through radial transmission of light outwardly from a central portion of the lens. Movable tongues supported at opposing sides of the housing and grooves formed in a skirt of the lens removably join the lens to the housing.

Abstract: A lighted handle includes an elongate light transmitting member that has first and second end portions. First and second support surface engageable mounting brackets carry the first and second end portions of the light transmitting member. A narrow beam light emitter is located in the first mounting bracket and has a light beam emitting end. The light beam emitting end faces the adjacent first end portion of the light transmitting member and is aimed longitudinally along the light transmitting member to make the same more visible.

Abstract: Embodiments of a calcium cyanamide composition and method for their use are disclosed. The composition and method stabilize active ionic compositions comprising calcium cyanamide and enhance the effectiveness of calcium cyanamide alone or synergistically in combination with nitrogen-containing materials such as urea and organics, for example, manures. The composition and method also facilitate controllable site-directed delivery of the contents of the stabilized compositions. The composition and method are effective for fertilizing, soil amending, metal stabilizing and odor and organism inhibition. The compositions are stable, easily calibrated, and non-clogging for spray delivery to target sites.

Abstract: A folding assist handle assembly for mounting on a surface has a handle that is resiliently biased to lie in either of two detented positions: a stowed position adjacent the surface and a use position projecting away from the surface. The detents are configured so that the handle can be moved out of its stowed position simply by a lateral pull with a first force, where as moving the handle out of its use position by a later pull requires an upward force in addition to a circumferential force. A two-sided access cover for the assembly's base member is useful for assembly, repair, adjustment, and implementation of accessories.

Abstract: A system and method for supporting character interactive input/output operation in a half-duplex block-mode environment including a workstation and a server. Keystrokes at the workstation received into an auto enter, non-display entity on the workstation display are automatically transferred as entered from the workstation to a server application which processes the keystroke and responds in a manner appropriate to the context of the application.
