Abstract: A signage device (10) in which a housing (12) receives a circuit board (30) having a plurality of spaced-apart light sources (38) to define at least one symbol and overlaid by a message plate (42) having a projecting channel (46) with a translucent light emitting side (54) aligned with the light sources and a light blocking overlay sheet (60) defining an open slot (62) configured for mating reception of the projecting channel, whereby light from the light sources communicates from the light emitting surface of the channel extending from the overlay sheet.

Abstract: A tethered, protective mouthguard assembly for attachment to a helmet or headgear including a mouthpiece portion, a connecting member integrally formed with the mouthpiece and provided with a tether attachment element therein, a separate breakaway tether constructed of a cord-like or strap-like material and a corresponding attachment element connected with the tether for selectively and easily attaching the tether to and detaching the tether from the connecting member.

Abstract: A device (10) for metering discrete lengths of filament utilized in a flexible filament vegetation cutting device is disclosed. The line metering device (10) is preferably used in flexible filament lawn mowers. An electric motor (28) rotatively drives a drive shaft (32) about its axis. A driving mechanism, preferably a spool (36) is coupled to the drive shaft (32) for rotation therewith whenever the drive shaft (32) is rotated. A driven mechanism, preferably a guide drum (84), is selectively coupled for rotation to the driving mechanism (36). The spool (36) has the flexible filament (66) wound about it and is coupled to one of the driven and driving mechanisms (84, 32) for rotation therewith.
