Abstract: An energy storage apparatus includes: an outer case formed of a body, and a lid body which covers an opening of the body; an energy storage device which is accommodated in the outer case; and a handle which is mounted on the lid body. The lid body has a first surface, and a second surface which is disposed adjacently to the first surface. The handle is formed of a handle body extending from one end side toward the other end side, and slide portions which are respectively formed on both end sides of the handle body. The handle body is disposed on the first surface. Slide receiving portions which hold the slide portions in a slidable manner are formed on the second surface.

Abstract: An adjustable cabinet handle provides a convenient means to replace or update an existing cabinet door handle. The adjustable cabinet handle includes a central handle body having mounting portions affixed to each opposing end. The center-to-center distance between the mounting portions is adjustable, thereby allowing an installer to utilize the existing mounting holes in the cabinet door to mount the new cabinet handle.

Abstract: Described is a tool for lifting a toilet. The tool features a handle insertable into the toilet bowl in a position placing opposing ends of the handle beneath the toilet bowl rim at opposing sides of the toilet bowl, such that lifting of the handle acts to lift up the toilet via the toilet bowl rim. In some embodiments, the handle is longitudinally extendable and collapsible between an extended position and a collapsed position to aid in placement of the handle into the lifting position, and is spring-biased into the extended position to prevent inadvertent collapse of the handle while lifting or transporting the toilet. Other embodiments include a fixed-length disposable handle secured to the toilet by tie members engaged through toilet-seat mounting holes therein.

Abstract: A photovoltaic array (11) for generating DC power by receiving sunlight is installed in a balcony (1) of the individual unit, the DC power is converted by an inverter (13) into AC power, and the AC power output from the inverter (13) is supplied to the plurality of electrical loads in a distributed manner by a distribution board (38) of the individual unit. On the other hand, a magnitude of DC power generated by the photovoltaic array or a lithium-ion battery and a magnitude of electrical power consumed by the electrical loads are compared by an electrical power comparator. Depending on the comparison result, an electrical power switch may supply the DC power via the inverter to the electrical loads or a low-voltage system, or may supply electrical power from the low-voltage system to the electrical loads or the lithium-ion battery.

Abstract: An umbrella handle includes a tubular member having an inclined bottom wall, and a housing having an axle extended from an inclined upper wall for rotatably engaging with the inclined bottom wall of the tubular member and for allowing the housing to be rotated relative to the tubular member to different directions and for allowing the housing to be folded and inclined relative to the tubular member to different folding statuses, a flashlight device is attached to the housing for facing or directing toward various or different directions and for lighting the environment when the housing is pivoted or rotated relative to the tubular member to different or various directions.

Abstract: The motorcycle battery carrying apparatus provides for the unique demands of handling, installing, and removing motorcycle batteries and batteries in other personally-sized vehicles which are equipped with motorcycle type batteries. The apparatus handles such batteries without extending beyond the dimensions of existing batteries, excepting above. Provided in both rigid and pliable handle embodiments, the apparatus attaches to the same terminals as do the battery cables of the vehicle. By attaching to the terminals of the battery without extending beyond the width or depth of the battery, the apparatus is assured of fitting the battery within existing tolerances. Dependant upon the given application and desire, the apparatus can remain on the battery or be removed and used repeatedly.

Abstract: A handle adapted to be mounted on a watthour meter cover facilitates movement of the watthour meter relative to a meter socket. The handle is removably attachable to a handle receiver carried on the cover, with the handle defining a finger grip surface. The receiver is in the form of one or more recesses or projections which are engagable with complimentary portions on the handle.

Abstract: A battery (4) driven circular saw includes a housing (1a) with a motor (3) for driving the circular saw blade (2). The circular saw blade (2) is fixed to a drive shaft (7) that runs transverse to the plane (E) of the circular saw blade (2), the drive shaft being functionally connected by means of a linkage (15) to the motor (3). In order to achieve the most compact construction possible of the circular saw, the axis of rotation (R) of the motor (3) runs parallel to the plane (E) of the circular saw blade (2).

Abstract: Handle for accumulator battery comprising a central grip and two steps on each side of the grip. The outer end walls of the steps have rounded perimeters. Each outer step is provided with an oval opening intended to cooperate with a respective pivot which the battery cover has on its opposite sides. The oval shape of the pivot cooperates with the oval shape opening due to their orientation to prevent removal of the handle at either a folded down or upraised orientation. The span of the first steps of the handle covers the terminals of the battery, and each first step permits anchoring of the cover-pieces over the terminals.

Abstract: An automotive battery is positioned in a tray secured with the vehicle. The tray and the battery have cooperating extensions and projections which hold the battery in position on the tray. A pivotally mounted handle on the battery engages in notches on a vertical stanchion formed on the tray. The battery is secured in the tray through the cooperation of the extensions and projections and the handle and the stanchion. The handle has a pair of spaced notches in which the battery cables are secured to prevent relative movement between the battery and the cable terminal connections.

Abstract: A removable battery handle and battery casing coupling structure wherein the handle is relatively rigid and includes a central portion, and two downwardly depending arms, the distal ends of the arms each including an attachment button which is supported on the inside surface of the distal end by a shaft, the button being received by a keyhole-shaped aperture in the battery casing end wall, which offers resistance as the shaft moves from the lower, larger portion to the upper, smaller portion of the aperture such that when the shaft is disposed in the upper, smaller portion, the handle is locked to the casing.
