  • Patent number: 11577422
    Abstract: A hanger for suspending a chainsaw in a display is provided. The display may include a bar assembly that includes two parallel bars that project substantially parallel to each other. The hanger may include a first interface portion disposed at a first end of the body, and the first interface portion may include a first aperture and a second aperture. The hanger may additionally include a second interface portion disposed proximate to a second end, and a portion of the first face of the body may extend along a guide bar of the chainsaw.

  • Patent number: 9540993
    Abstract: A hand-held power tool may include a housing, a power unit disposed within the housing and configured to operate at least in part in response to actuation of a trigger, a working assembly powered responsive to operation of the power unit, and an activation lever having an integrated lockout member. The activation lever may selectively engage a first fuel enrichment mode associated with startup of the power unit in a first range of ambient temperatures and a second fuel enrichment mode associated with startup of the power unit in a second range of ambient temperatures based on a position of the activation lever. Selective engagement of the first fuel enrichment mode or the second fuel enrichment mode may be enabled responsive to actuation of at least the lockout member and positioning of the activation lever.

  • Publication number: 20070144549
    Abstract: A fluid dispensing hairbrush with a regulation valve is disclosed for dispensing hair products onto a user's hair and/or scalp, particularly viscous fluids, such as gel, mousse, or thick conditioners, in a drizzling manner. The valve is adjustable for use with various fluids depending upon viscosity levels, as well as amounts of fluid to dispense. Use of the hairbrush prevents a user from unwanted contact on a user's hands with fluids. Many hair products can be sticky or cause dry skin on a user's hands, and in some cases, a user's skin may become irritated by a hair product that may not irritate the user's scalp. Further, use of a fluid dispensing hairbrush can expedite one's hair preparation routine substantially.
