  • Publication number: 20040177524
    Abstract: A reflecting lighted level (10) for facilitating leveling of an object, the reflecting lighted level (10) broadly comprising a generally frustoconically-shaped vial (12) having first and second exterior surfaces (22,24) and an internal angled reflecting surface (26); a light source (14) for emitting light; a light tube (16) for focusing or concentrating the emitted light towards the vial (12); a base (18) for supporting the vial (12); and a power source (20) for powering the light source (14). The internal angled reflecting surface (26) within the vial (12) is positioned at a generally 45° angle for reflecting light. The light source (14), a light emitting diode (“LED”), is centrally positioned relative to the vial (12). The light tube (16) is positioned proximate to the first exterior surface (22) of the vial (12), such that the light tube (16) is positioned between the light source (14) and the vial (12). The light source (14) is then partially positioned within the light tube (14).

  • Patent number: 6595712
    Abstract: A wash brush (10) having a handle (11) securely coupleable with a cleaning head (13) by a ratchet-like coupling mechanism (12), and including a flowpath control mechanism (22) operable to direct and control a stream of liquid to the brush head area. A continuous liquid flow path is provided from a handle source connection end (62) to the head-mounted flowpath control mechanism (22) which is operable to selectively control flow characteristics, including pattern and direction.
