  • Flashlight having a pivoting head
    Patent number: 6457841
    Abstract: A flashlight is disclosed having a body and a flashlight head in which a light bulb is mounted. The body includes a housing that defines a battery compartment, a pair of arms extending from a front end of the housing for mounting the flashlight head between opposing ends of the arms such that the flashlight head may be pivoted relative to the body, and a thumb wheel rotatably mounted in the housing and extending partially through the housing to engage the flashlight head such that the flashlight head pivots relative to the body as the thumb wheel is rotated. The thumb wheel may include gear teeth about its perimeter for engaging gear teeth formed in the round rear surface of the flashlight head.

  • Electronically enhanced media air filtration system and method of assembling
    Patent number: 6413301
    Abstract: Disclosed is a portable air filtration system for removing contaminants from room air. In one embodiment, the air filtration system includes a power supply and an air blower module electrically connected to the power supply. The air filtration system further includes an ionization module engaged with the air blower module and including a first control grid and a high voltage grid electrically connected to the power supply. The air filtration system further includes a filter module removably engaged with the ionization module. The filter module includes a filter and a second control grid. Engagement of the filter module and the ionization module creates an electrical connection between the second control grid and the power supply. Activation of the air filtration system creates a first ionization field between the high voltage grid and the first control grid and a second ionization field between the high voltage grid and the second control grid.
