Patent number: 8342340Abstract: A merchandising system includes an elongated mounting member selectively securable to an associated shelf. A cooperating member is received on the mounting member, wherein the cooperating member extends rearwardly over the associated shelf. The cooperating member includes an elongated body. An engaging element is mounted to the elongated body and is movable in relation thereto. The engaging element selectively contacts the mounting member in order to selectively secure the cooperating member to the mounting member.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Fasteners For Retail, Inc.Inventors: James J. Rataiczak, III, Paul A. Mueller, Daniel J. Kump, Raymond J. Fritz, Richard Alan Williams, Wallace D. Tiller, Jr., Daniel Edward Kustra

Patent number: 6836928Abstract: A carpet extractor includes a solution distributor, such as a spray bar 90, which delivers cleaning solution to a floor surface. A housing 10 selectively receives a recovery tank 22 for collecting dirty cleaning solution from the floor. A first tank 14 for concentrated cleaning fluid and a second tank 15 for clean water supply cleaning fluid and water to a reciprocating pump 420 through first and second fluid lines 412, 410. The pump includes a piston 428, which reciprocates between first and second ends of a cylindrical bore 430. A fluid line 432 interconnects the first and second fluid lines. As the pump reciprocates, a portion of the water is drawn into the interconnecting line during a downward stroke, where it mixes with the entering cleaning solution. As the pump moves on its upward stroke, the mixture is drawn back into the water line and is pushed onward by the pump toward the spray bar with each successive downward stroke.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2003Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Royal Appliance Mfg. Co.Inventors: Terry L. Zahuranec, Brett Latimer, Robert A. Salo, Mark E. Cipolla, Wallace D. Tiller, Jr., Jeffrey M. Kalman, Craig M. Saunders

Patent number: 6721990Abstract: A carpet extractor includes a base assembly 1 including a housing 10 which selectively receives a recovery tank 22 for collecting dirty cleaning fluid. A nozzle assembly 67 is mounted to the base housing and provides a fluid flowpath 182 for dirty cleaning fluid from the floor surface to the recovery tank. The nozzle assembly is pivotable from a first position, in which the fluid flowpath communicates with the recovery tank, to a second position, in which the nozzle assembly is spaced from the recovery tank to allow the recovery tank to be removed from the base housing. A second flowpath 138 is formed on the recovery tank between the tank and a nozzle plate 136. The flowpaths have openings 218, 140, respectively, at their lower ends, which are located either side of two longitudinally spaced brushrolls 60, 62. A flap valve 474 selectively closes both flowpaths during above floor cleaning.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2002Date of Patent: April 20, 2004Assignee: Royal Appliance Mfg. Co.Inventors: Terry L. Zahuranec, Brett Latimer, Robert A. Salo, Mark E. Cipolla, Wallace D. Tiller, Jr., Jeffrey M. Kalman, Craig M. Saunders

Patent number: 6536071Abstract: A carpet extractor includes a base assembly 1 including a housing 10 which selectively receives a recovery tank 22 for collecting dirty cleaning fluid. A first supply tank 14 for concentrated cleaning fluid and a second supply tank 15 for clean water are mounted on an inverted Y-shaped handle assembly 12. The handle assembly includes a central member 334 with a hand grip 336 at its upper end and two splayed leg members 338, 342, 340, 344, which define a triangular shaped gap therebetween. The two tanks are removably mounted in the gap. The cleaning fluid tank is supported on a shelf 346, which spans the gap between the leg members. The water tank is pivotally mounted on two projections 374 on the leg members to allow for easy removal and replacement on the handle. The arrangement of tanks in the gap allows for large capacity tanks, a well-balanced handle, ease of removal of the recovery tank without the need for removing either of the two supply tanks, and ease of refill of the supply tanks.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2001Date of Patent: March 25, 2003Assignee: Royal Appliance Mfg.
