  • Patent number: 9687120
    Abstract: A hybrid dispenser incorporating structural elements providing the ability to alternatively dispense soap or other liquid from a container either by an electric motor or manually. The hybrid dispenser includes an electric motor and a valve actuator mechanism having an elongate pivotable actuator member for operating a dispensing valve structure. A manually operable member is pivotably mounted relative to the cabinet such that the electric motor and the manually operable member selectively independently cooperate with generally opposite ends of the elongate pivotable member to cause the dispensing valve structure to dispense liquid from a container supported by the dispenser.

  • Patent number: 6616153
    Abstract: A hand truck assembly includes a lightweight body, such as is formed of a blow molded plastic material, in combination with a folding metal platen for supporting a load. The platen has a support area and a pair of mounting ears which extend upwardly from the support area. An axle extends through a transverse passage defined by the body, and the platen is pivotably mounted to the axle for movement between an inoperative raised position and an operative lowered position. A guide arrangement is interposed between the body and the platen for guiding movement of the platen between its operative lowered position and inoperative raised position. The body includes parallel rail sections which impart significant strength to the body. The body further includes an upper handle section having a forwardly directed handle, which provides ergonomically advantageous operation of the hand truck assembly.
