Abstract: Outdoor power equipment includes a frame including a handle, a prime mover mounted to the frame, a transmission coupling the prime mover to a wheel, and a user interface coupled to the transmission and including a static link rigidly coupled to the handle, a forward link coupled to a forward lever and to the static link, a reverse link coupled to a reverse lever and to the static link, and a joining link coupled between the forward link and the reverse link. The user interface is actuatable between a forward configuration and a reverse configuration.

Abstract: A walk behind lawn mower including a frame including a handle, an engine mounted to the frame, a transmission coupling the engine to a plurality of wheels, and a user interface coupled to the transmission and including a static link rigidly coupled to the handle, a forward link coupled to a forward lever and to the static link, a reverse link coupled to a reverse lever and to the static link, and a joining link coupled between the forward link and the reverse link. The user interface is actuatable between a forward configuration and a reverse configuration using a single hand.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a fishing rod lock system. The system includes a generally cylindrical male insert. The male insert has a cylindrical exterior extent with a central cylindrical bore for receiving the inboard end of the upper fishing rod section. The male insert further includes an inboard extent formed with threads, the threads being shallower and finer adjacent to the outboard end. The system also includes a generally cylindrical female insert. The female insert has a central cylindrical bore at the outboard end for receiving the inboard end of the male insert. The female insert further includes a cylindrical recess at its inboard end for receiving the outboard end of the lower fishing rod section. The female insert also has an intermediate cylindrical section with threads, the threads being shallower and finer adjacent to the outboard end.
