Abstract: According to one embodiment, a soap dispenser includes a nozzle, a pump operable to dispense soap through the nozzle and to be positioned above a surface of a counter, a push rod having a pivot arm aperture. The push rod is coupled to the pump and movement of the push rod in a direction toward the pump activates the pump. The soap dispenser further includes a pivot arm having a lift end disposed within the pivot arm aperture, and a motor assembly. The motor assembly is operable to rotate to pivot the pivot arm and lift the lift end such that the push rod activates the pump to dispense soap through the nozzle.

Abstract: A system for a medical chair that has a chair assembly having a plurality of movable components, a control system that selectively controls the movable components, and a wireless controller that communicates wirelessly with the control system to modify a configuration of the movable components.

Abstract: A pressurized fluid dispenser includes a base unit and a reservoir. The base unit includes a pump and a battery compartment including electrical contacts electrically connected with the pump. The reservoir is supported by and selectively removable from the base unit. The reservoir includes an internal compartment that is in fluid communication with the pump when the reservoir is connected to the base unit. A female panel mount for an electrically operated unit is also disclosed.

Abstract: A refillable product dispenser includes a housing having a frame and a front cover with open and closed positions relative to the frame, a receptacle associated with the housing, and a pushbutton configured to be at least partially received by the receptacle in one of alternative unlocked and locked orientations. The dispenser further includes a dispensing system with a product container having a spout disposed at a first dispensing angle, a nozzle disposed at a second dispensing angle and a dispensing lever configured to activate the spout when force is applied to the lever.

Abstract: A product dispensing system includes a receptacle for storing a product, a fill column, and a refill dispenser. The fill column is in fluid communication with the receptacle and is configured for selective and alternative securement to a housing and the refill dispenser. The refill dispenser includes a container configured to transfer a product and a cap assembly extending adjacent to the container. The cap assembly has a fill position. Upon rotation of the cap assembly about the fill column, the cap assembly is moved into the fill position so that the product from the container can be transferred to the receptacle.

Abstract: A flexible arch-shaped corrugated structure includes a plastic structure that can be light weight and easy to handle, while at the same time having suitable strength for carrying loads. By suitably engineering the corrugations, the need for structural ribs can be eliminated and thinner sidewalls can be used. The structure can include a series of vertically-oriented arched corrugations having surfaces that convexly arch or curve upwardly as well as laterally. Having both upward and lateral arched or curved features on the corrugations can provide increased strength to the corrugations and the structure. In a particular embodiment, the plastic structure is a leaching chamber. The structure can include access or inspection port structures disposed at the ends of the structure. The ports are dimensioned to mate with the opposing port of a like structure. In particular, the mated structures can articulate or rotate about the mated ports.

Abstract: A hand-operated tool includes a tool head having a central longitudinal axis, a handle extending from the tool head, a connector securing the handle to the tool head, and a central step at an upper end of the tool head and at the central longitudinal axis. A length of the handle is preferably adjustable. The handle preferably includes a handle portion forming a triangle shaped closed loop and has an upper section extending perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis of the handle portion and lower sections angularly extending from ends of the upper section to the central longitudinal axis of the handle portion. The connector preferably includes a pair of laterally spaced apart and parallel lower portions having lower ends secured to the tool head, a central portion connecting the lower portions, and an upper portion centrally connected to the central portion and the handle.

Abstract: A hand-operated tool includes a tool head having a plurality of tines, a handle extending from the tool head, and a cutting member secured to the tool head and having a point at a free end. The tool head is pivotably secured to the handle to pivot about a longitudinal axis between a fork configuration and a rake configuration and a lock releasably locks the tool head relative to the handle in each of the fork and rake configurations. The handle includes an arm, a rear grip including a loop handle located at an end of the arm opposite the tool head, and a fore grip including a knob located between the tool head and the rear grip. The rear grip and the fore grip are each secured against rotation about a longitudinal axis of the handle.

Abstract: A bulb planter includes a pair of blade halves cooperating to form a tubular tool head and a molded plastic handle body forming a pair of handles. The blade halves are preferably metal and riveted to the handle body. The handle body forms a living hinge for selectively pivoting the blade halves upon movement of the handles. The blade halves pivot toward and away from each other between a soil plug cutting position and a soil plug releasing position upon movement of the handles. A resilient member biases the blade halves toward the soil plug cutting position. The resilient member is preferably an elastomer ring encircling the blade halves. The handles extend in opposed directions substantially perpendicular to a central longitudinal axis and are manually movable against the bias of the resilient member to move the blade halves to the soil plug release position.

Abstract: A lawn and garden hand tool includes a tool head, a handle rearwardly extending from the tool head, and a plastic coating covering at least a portion of the handle. The handle has a generally cylindrical shaped rearward grip and a loop extending in a downward direction and connecting forward and rearward ends of the rearward grip. The handle also has a forward grip spaced apart from the rearward grip and located forward of the rearward grip toward the tool head. The forward grip includes a generally bulb shaped knob extending in a upward and forward direction. The tool head, the rearward grip and the forward member are preferably a unitary one-piece cast aluminum component.
