  • Publication number: 20030111555
    Abstract: A novel portable conversion washing device for, including but not limited to, a car washing, building washing and boat washing is comprised of; 1) a brush head equipped with a soap water tank; 2) a water pipe with a water nozzle; 3) and a controlling handle for soap water and fresh water openings. The brush head is composed of threads of brushes anchored to the lower surface of a “V” shape plastic plate. A soap water tank is adhesively mounted on the upper surface of the plastic plate. A stopper pin, which penetrates the barrier on the brush head vertically, blocks the pinhole at bottom of the barrier. The head of the stopper pin is connected to a lever, which is pivotally attached on the upper surface of the barrier. The other end of the lever is connected to a trigger at the controlling handle via a wire. One end of a solid pipe is connected to the upper-back side of the brushing head and the other end is connected to a controlling handle.

  • Patent number: 6575387
    Abstract: An anti-squirt ring acts as a handle guard for a palm operated garden hose nozzle lever. The guard is a circular ring, which obliquely surrounds the trigger lever of the garden hose nozzle. If the garden hose nozzle is accidentally dropped, the annular guard ring. The guard provides clearance if the trigger lever and nozzle are dropped. Therefore, the trigger lever will not forcefully contact the ground and be accidentally engaged, suddenly and erratically. The guard prevents unwanted spraying water from the nozzle in unwanted directions, such as at the user or at objects which should not get wet. The wire is configured in an annular ring and is either manufactured with the garden hose nozzle, or is attached by clamps, cable ties or hook and loop type fasteners.

  • Patent number: 6561441
    Abstract: A kitchen-used sprinkling gun including a main body, a cap body and a switch unit. The cap body is clockwise and counterclockwise rotatably disposed on the main body. The cap body is formed with a central outlet section and a circumferential outlet section. The switch unit is disposed in the cap body. A spring serves to push a valve body to optionally seal one of two dividing holes of a water dividing disc. The two dividing holes respectively communicate with the central outlet section and the circumferential outlet section. A water generator is disposed between one dividing hole and the central outlet section. When a user turns the cap body, the water dividing disc is driven, whereby the flowing path of the water can be changed to discharge the water in different patterns.

  • Patent number: 6561115
    Abstract: A hand-held tool for a diver has a hollow tube to vent pressurized gas from an interconnected source through an opening in the tube. The vented pressurized gas aerates material of a seabed, and an anchoring system disposed adjacent to the tube is effortlessly inserted in the aerated material by a single diver. The hand-held tool permits an improved method of inserting the anchoring system as compared to the time consuming, strenuous, and noisy hammering procedure that usually requires more than one diver to successfully embed an anchor in the seabed. Different sources of pressurized gas for aerating the material may include a portable gas cylinder, diver's air tank, or hose from a remote source, such as a compressor. Quick-change connectors can be used to quickly and easily connect and disconnect components to supply more gas or add different components that will help insert different anchoring systems.

    Abstract: A power washer wand has a configuration which balances the forces of the water stream. By balancing these forces, the back pressure is greatly reduced. This results in less fatigue for the user and also enables the wand to be extended in order to reach high or distant surfaces without the use of a ladder or scaffold. The wand includes an angle changing coupling such as a swivel joint which allows the angle between the configuration that balances the forces (“force balancing configuration”) and the surface being washed to remain substantially constant. The angle changing coupling is preferably located at the proximal end of the force balancing configuration. In one version, the force balancing configuration is a loop or helix having a the first bend replaced with an angle changing coupling or a right angle fitting. In a second version, the force balancing configuration is a two-tined, fork-shaped divergent configuration which reconverges at a distal coupling, such as a “Y” coupling.

  • Patent number: 6375094
    Abstract: A spray gun includes a handle portion and an extension portion. A nozzle is connected with an outer end of the extension portion. An electrode assembly is disposed in the extension portion to establish an electrical field to electrostatically charge particles of coating material. A coating material flow control member and a purge air flow control member are disposed on the handle portion. Operation of either one of the two flow control members actuates a membrane switch assembly. Operation of the purge air flow control member directs the flow of air to the coating material passage in the extension portion to remove excess coating material from the passage and from the nozzle. Different size hand grips may be mounted on the handle portion of the spray gun to accommodate operators having hands of different sizes.

  • Publication number: 20020043572
    Abstract: An actuation mechanism is used with a sprinkler to allow water to flow out of the sprinkler or to shut off the flow of water. Rather than a conventional trigger, the activation mechanism uses a pushbutton assembly that can be toggled open or closed. This allows the person directing the sprinkler to use the sprinkler without undue stress on the hand and fingers from having to squeeze the conventional trigger. The actuation mechanism is comprised of a pushbutton, a guiding member, a limiting sleeve and a shell. The pushbutton, guiding member and limiting sleeve are housed in the shell. The pushbutton is attached to the guide member that selectively slides in the limiting sleeve. A connecting rod attached to the guiding member interfaces with the valve in the sprinkler and actuates the flow of water.
