  • Patent number: 4969571
    Abstract: A container for storing liquid and liquid-like materials having a pair of handles oriented relative to each other to facilitate manual handling of the container. The container having front and back walls joined to bottom, top, and side walls forming an enclosed chamber for storing liquid. The top wall has a pouring spout and a first handle located in the longitudinal plane of the container. The front and back walls have laterally spaced corner sections joined to a transverse second handle. A recess extending under the second handle is open to the bottom wall and the side wall to allow the second handle to be gripped from either the bottom or the side.

  • Patent number: 4881650
    Abstract: A container for collecting and storing oil drained from an internal combustion engine has a bottom wall and a lower end wall for selectively supporting the container in prone and upright positions. The top wall has a funnel-shaped portion surrounded by an upwardly directed, continuous ridge. The lower most portion of the top wall has a hole open to the chamber to allow oil to drain into the chamber. The upper end wall has a first handle used to carry the container. A second handle is located diagonally opposite a pouring spout to facilitate the manual tilting of the handle to pour oil out of the container through the pouring spout. The pouring spout is normally closed with a removable cap. A removable plug is used to close the hole in the top wall.

  • Patent number: 4344402
    Abstract: An apparatus for supplying aerosol fuel particles uniformly mixed with air to utilizer, as an internal combustion engine or burner. The apparatus has several fuel mixing and atomizing nozzles operable to mix one or more liquid hydrocarbon fuels and discharge the fuels through orifices in small fuel particles of uniform size. The fuel particles are mixed with air and flow through a pair of venturi throats with converging inlet walls and diverging outlet walls. The velocity of the air and fuel particles flowing through the venturi throats is at or above the speed of sound. The fuel particles are finely divided into particles between 0.5 and 1.5 micron in diameter as they move through the turbulent inlet and outlet interfaces of the air flowing through the nozzle throats at sonic and supersonic velocities and are evenly distributed into the air. The length or major dimension of one of the venturi throats is regulated with a baffle in accordance with the speed requirements of the engine.

  • Patent number: 4002207
    Abstract: A hand tool used to manage and cultivate soil in confined areas, as planters and pots, for growing plants. The tool has an elongated handle having an end integral with an earthworking implement. The handle has triangularly related linear sides which taper inwardly toward the earthworking implement, wherein the sides are adapted to be engaged by the first and second fingers and thumb of the user. On the end of the handle opposite to the earthworking implement, the sides converge into a cylindrical section terminating in a knob. The earthworking implement includes a body having a plurality of teeth. The body can be in the shape of a shovel, pick or rake.
