Abstract:
A knapsack engine-driven tool driven by an engine provided on a knapsack frame consists of a supporting tool composed of a hollow tube made of a flexible rigid material, preferably of brass, whose base end is fixed onto the knapsack frame, in which the flexible rigid material can be held at a desired shape, a member for operating said engine provided on the edge portion of the hollow tube, a regulating wire which is inserted into the hollow tube for connecting said engine and said operating member, and a flexible protective member for covering said hollow tube. The knapsack engine-driven tool has a metal fixing member, preferably made of iron.
Abstract:
At a first station 202, flexible material 204 is deformed into a predetermined configuration defined by a mould recess 210. This configuration corresponds to the internal configuration of one of two housing parts 136, 138, situated at a second station 206. The deformed region of the flexible material 204 is advanced to the second station and secured between the housing parts 136, 138, to form a flexible partition within the container so formed.
Abstract:
A spray container storage and retrieval system encompassing both an apparatus and method enabling quick, safe retrieval of a spray container from a holster.In a first embodiment, a spray container with a forward trigger is stored in a specially designed sleeve having a special surface for securing the forward trigger from the discharge position. In a second embodiment, a flanged sleeve facilitates the springing displacement of a spray container having a safety flap over the discharge button and is intended to be used with a flap holster, and with a spray container which has no discharge button which can be utilized with a specialized structure on the sleeve. The third embodiment includes an open holster having an inwardly disposed locking groove which engages a pin collar fitted about the upper portion of a spray container, which can be re-used on subsequent spray containers by removing it from the used spray container and re-installing it on the new spray container. This third embodiment is released by pushing down and rotating slightly on the upper portion of the spray container to cause its pin collar to unlock from the inwardly disposed locking groove, and to be springingly released upwardly.

Abstract:
The specification discloses a lawn and garden sprayer having a hose compression connector for coupling a dispensing hose to a supply tube inside the liquid-containing dispensing tank. The hose compression connector comprises a threaded boss projecting from the dispensing tank, a hose adapter having a raised annular shoulder, over which the dispensing hose extends, located at the dispensing-hose receiving end thereof, and a threaded nut having a knurled exterior for easy gripping and an interior, annular compression surface, whereby the hose is clamped between the compression nut and the upper annular surface of the shoulder, and between the boss and the lower surface of the shoulder.
Abstract:
A leaf blower having a back pack frame. The frame can support a leaf blower unit on an operator's back with the use of shoulder straps. The frame generally has an L-shape with an intake restrictor ring that can cooperate with an air intake section of a blower mounted to the back pack frame to substantially prevent intrusion of foreign objects into the blower unit and to reduce noise emanating from the blower air intake section.
Abstract:
Two components, such as a support tube and handset of a herbicide delivery lance, are interconnected in a manner which provides an electrical connection between leads in the tube and the handset respectively. Fluid communication is also provided between a flexible tube in the tube and a passage of the handset. The leads on the tube are connected to two terminal plates situated on the outer surface of the tube. These terminal plates move into positions opposite bosses on a sleeve provided on the handset when the tube is pushed into the sleeve. Screws, engaging bushes accommodated in the bosses, are then screwed into contact with the terminal plates to secure the tube in position. The screws also complete the electrical circuit between the leads. One of the components includes a valve which includes an operating member. Displacement of the operating member against the action of a spring not only opens the valve, but also actuates an electrical switch.
Abstract:
A liquid chemical applicator for treatment of a horizontal surface is provided and consists of a mechanism that can accomplish a uniform coating of the liquid chemical by keeping a plurality of spray nozzles at a constant height, at a constant pressure and at a proper angle from the surface being treated.
Abstract:
A swivel outlet for a sprayer discharge tube or the like is provided. The outlet includes two housings, one of which includes a cylindrical recessed portion and the other of which includes a cylindrical portion adapted to rotatably mate within the recess. A passageway is provided which interconnects a discharge tube, connected to one of the housings, with a nozzle outlet connected to the other housing. A key and keyway are formed on each of the housings to removably couple the housings together.
