Abstract: The present disclosure provides a material collection system. The material collection system includes a conduit, a vacuum generator coupled to the conduit, an engine powering the vacuum generator, and a container mounted to a chassis of a vehicle. The vacuum generator generates airflow for drawing material into a material inlet of the conduit. The container receives collected material from the conduit. The material collection system and vehicle can have a gross vehicle weight rating of at or below approximately 26,000 lbs.

Abstract: A system and method for efficient engine operation of a material collection system is provided. A material collection system can have a control system, a boom that supports a conduit, a power source, and a vacuum generator. Sensors can provide data on operation of the material collection system. The control system can adjust the vacuum generator power output based on sensor data to efficiently manage energy usage.

Abstract: An emblem assembly includes a body of a polymeric material. A polymeric material extending portion is homogeneously connected to the body. The extending portion has a dove-tail shaped connector outwardly and homogenously extending from the extending portion. The dove-tail shaped connector defines a V-shape having a first wing and a second wing. An attachment member includes a first recessed pocket receiving the first wing and a second recessed pocket receiving the second wing to frictionally couple the attachment member to the extending portion.

Abstract: The invention herein provides a composite material suitable for the absorption of moisture in natural outside areas. More particularly, the composite material can be applied to both grassy and non-grassy natural areas to both absorb any excessive, apparent moisture therein and to also enrich the underlying earth of both grassy and non-grassy natural areas.

Abstract: A hand cleaning tool for a floor cleaning apparatus includes a wand and a light source that is carried on the wand and oriented thereto for directing light onto a surface being cleaned. A floor cleaning apparatus incorporating the hand cleaning tool is also described.

Abstract: An environment favoring vertical display assembly for merchandising containerized articles sandwiches a plurality of block of the containers between an upper and a lower tray. The trays are constructed to receive the top portion of one block and the bottom portion of an adjacent block. Means are provided for preventing lateral movement of the block of containers between the trays, the means being free of fixed attachment to the trays.

Abstract: A display rack is described, which is fabricated from a minimum number of recyclable, cellulosic components. The unit is easy to assemble and disassemble without a need for tools, and may be pre-packed for gravity feed of articles to be merchandised.

Abstract: A modular display stand for exhibition of articles of manufacture is described, made up basically of only three components. The stand may be assembled and disassembled without the use of tools. The stand is stable when loaded with relatively heavy loads of articles to be exhibited. Advantageously, the stand is constructed of materials, all of which can be recycled after use with minimal impact on the environment.

Abstract: An adjustable lock striker bolt assembly includes an anchor plate which is manually snap assembled to a retention bracket by an operator without tools and with limited access to the inside of the lock pillar. The retention bracket includes a pair of spaced laterally extending retention flanges, each including a retention slot. The anchor plate includes a thickened central body portion and a pair of legs extending oppositely therefrom. To assemble the anchor plate to the bracket, one leg of the anchor plate is inserted through the slot of one flange until the central body portion contains the one flange. This locates the edge portion of the other leg in engagement with the other flange. Manual pressure of the anchor plate snaps the edge portion of the other leg into the slot of the other flange.

Abstract: A longitudinally extending track assembly connects the inboard side of the seat bottom frame to the vehicle body for fore and aft adjusting longitudinal movement and supports the seat bottom frame at at least two longitudinally spaced points to support the seat bottom frame against forward and rearward pitching movement. A longitudinally extending outboard track member is mounted on the vehicle body adjacent the outboard side of the seat bottom frame. A one-point track engaging means carried by the seat bottom frame is slidably interengaged in the track member to support the outboard side of the seat bottom frame for fore and aft sliding movement. The one-point track engaging means is located forwardly of the rearward portion of the seat bottom frame so that the outboard side of the seat bottom frame is cantilevered rearwardly of the outboard track member when the seat is adjusted full rearwardly and is spaced above the vehicle body floor.

Abstract: A device for selecting either a first volume of liquid or second volume of liquid to be used in a flush cycle of a typical toilet tank. The device consists of a damming wall which separates the toilet tank into a pair of compartments. A valve assembly is associated with the damming wall which can be moved to either permit discharge of both compartments simultaneously or to permit discharge of only a single compartment.

Abstract: A reel for yarn, ribbon, or the like is disclosed which consists of a pair of end pieces and a central web operatively connected therebetween about which the yarn or ribbon can be wound. The end pieces are of identical construction and each comprises a single blank of foldable material having a central section, at least two intermediate sections respectively joined to two sides of the central section along fold lines therebetween, and two end sections respectively associated with the intermediate sections along additional fold lines therebetween. The central section has at least one slot formed therein which receives the end flanges in the folded configuration of the end pieces. The intermediate sections are folded through approximately 180.degree. over the central section about the fold lines therebetween and the end sections of the blank are folded through approximately 90.degree.
