Abstract: Wire or cable holder assemblies employed in a solar power system are disclosed. In some embodiments, an assembly could include a cap and a base configured with channels. When the cap and the base are clamped to an object (e.g., a solar module frame), enclosures defined by the channels and a surface of the solar frame module are formed to hold cables. In some embodiments, an assembly could include a plunger with at least one leg and a base that includes a receptacle for receiving the plunger and a hook for holding electrical cables. A leg include a rack having teeth adapted to fall into notches or spaces formed by complementary teeth of a pawl found in the receptacle that forms a ratchet which permits insertion of the plunger into the receptacle but not an extraction. If extraction is desired, an external force may be applied to release the pawl.

Abstract: An adjustable tool holder is configured for interchangeable use with a variety of tools provided with different connection elements. The connection elements include at least a first connection element configured for a first manner of connection with the tool holder and a second connection element configured for a second manner of connection with the tool holder. The tool holder includes a distally extending tool support operable to detachably support each of the tools. The tool support includes a first tool connector configured to releasably connect with the first connection element in the first manner of connection. The tool support includes a second tool connector configured to releasably connect with the second connection element in the second manner of connection.

Abstract: With the components assembled and the ice block formed, the Ice clamping device will allow the user a safe and effective way use the ice block to clean a food grade grilling surface. Thereby cleaning the grilling surface without direct metal on metal contact with that surface there by eliminating the issues and hazards assorted with those cleaning tools i.e. metal from wire bristles or broken material that can be ingested.

Abstract: A tool assembly includes an elongated handle and a locking system for attaching a tool head to the handle. The tool head can be a floor care tool or other accessory that can be attached to the handle such that the elongated length of the handle can aid in the use of the tool attached. The locking system includes a keyed locking collar for engaging at least a first portion of the tool head, and a locking cap rotatably positioned on the handle for engaging a second portion of the tool head. The handle can be extendable, such as by telescoping, and can also be overmolded.

Abstract: A mop holder which provides fast changing of mop cloth and ease of use is characterized in that a shaft (5) is disposed on a middle top of the frame (1); and a circular groove (6) is set on an inner bottom of the shaft (5). A tube (7) which fits into said shaft (5) is screw jointed onto an outer bottom of a handle (3); and a projection (9), corresponding to said groove (6) is disposed on a bottom of said tube (7). Said projection (9) comprises pluralities of slots (8), disposed on a surface thereof; and a tapered surface (10) for guiding said tube (7) into the shaft (5) is disposed on an outer bottom of said projection (9). By coupling the projection (9) and groove (6), said tube (7) is partially fitted into the shaft (5) firmly and allowed to rotate freely therein.

Abstract: A mop assembly is described, which includes a triangularly-shaped support bar having straight terminal end portions attached to a mop handle by two or more transverse bolts. A central bar portion of the triangularly shaped support bar cooperates with an elongated rail to form a clamped connection between the support bar and an essentially conventional flexible dirt pick-up means. The triangular support bar is preferably formed out of aluminum bar stock having a rectangular cross-section.

Abstract: A mop holder having a frame and a scraper component attached to the frame for removing stubborn materials from floors or baseboards, where the scraper has tapered sides terminating at a scraping edge and is provided with a plurality of teeth.

Abstract: The wet mop holder of the invention comprises a mop holding head :having a substantially round forward end with a groove disposed therein. The mop holder includes a moveable tightening member disposed in a spaced relation to the mop holding head. The tightening member rides on a shaft connected to the mop holding head.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved quick release locking nut for quick change type mop holders. The mop holder has a frame attachable to a mop stick and a clamping member for securing mop fill. The quick release locking nut is slidably mounted on a central shank of the frame, and has a pivotally mounted pawl which is biased by a spring. The inner screw threads on the tip of the pawl are engaged with the outer screw threads on the central shank, in order to lock the quick release locking nut on the central shank for preventing the clamping member from sliding on the central shank. When the pawl is pressed against the spring and its tip is disengaged from the central shank, the quick release locking nut is unlocked and can be slid on the central shank for allowing the clamping member to slide on the central shank so that the mop clamp can be released.

Abstract: Mop holder includes a main frame portion having a loading bar cantilevered at one end to the main frame portion and a hinged side gate at the other end which can be lifted up to permit a mop swab to be slid on or off the loading bar at such other end. A clamping bar movable toward and away from the loading bar releasably clamps the mop swab tightly against the loading bar.

Abstract: A holder for a string-type or similar mop head. The holder is preferably made entirely of plastic and comprises a yoke, a mop head support member connecting the free ends of the arms of the yoke, and a mop head clamping assembly reciprocally mounted inside the yoke for clamping a mop head against the support member. The mop holder is opened for insertion or removal of a mop head by shifting the support member longitudinally to unlatch it and then rotating the support member out of the plane defined by the arms of the yoke.

Abstract: A hand tool according to the present invention comprises in combination, a workpiece assembly and a handle assembly adapted for quick release coupling to one another to provide a manually supported tool having rapidly interchangeable workpieces. The workpiece assembly includes a work head adapted to function as a painting or decorating tool or the like and a support member on the head. The support member has a section of its length disposed rearwardly from the head which extends in a tortuous path to form a first coupler element. The handle assembly comprises an elongated manually engageable handle and a quick release clamp. The quick release clamp comprises first and second jaws which have a clamping face formed with a channel-shaped clamping recess which extends along a tortuous path corresponding to that followed by the coupler element whereby the coupler element may be seated in the clamping recess in a close fitting relationship.

Abstract: A sturdy mop mounting base having an elongated upper handle-receivable portion and lower face spaced-apart anchoring receptacles, with length thereof along an axis extending in alignment with the two receptacles being shorter than the width of a mop to be secured against that lower face, and a separate clamping element of a substantially U-shape having the legs thereof positioned to be anchored within the spaced-apart anchoring receptacles.
