161 | Manure shovel with rotating handle holder | EP05077408.2 | 2005-10-21 | EP1655111A1 | 2006-05-10 | Ebbers, Johan Martin Wilhelmus; Ebbers, Lukas |
The invention relates to a mechanism in which the shovel blade (5) of a manure shovel can rotate flexibly about the handle (1) of this manure shovel. The handle holder (2) is constructed in such a way that the manure shovel follows the movements of the handle (1) and therefore remains in contact with the ground surface. The rotating function of the handle holder (2) means it is possible to move the handle (1) at an angle in relation to the shovel blade (5). The rotatability of the handle holder (2) means that the shovel blade (5) can be turned over. |

162 | SPRING-BIASED PIVOTING SQUEEGEE | EP04752171.1 | 2004-05-14 | EP1633229A1 | 2006-03-15 | COX, Grant; TALESFORE, Nicholas; McARDLE, Joseph |
A spring-biased pivoting squeegee to a handle. The head (12) is movable between a rest position, in which the head is angularly displaced from the handle (16) and a biased position in which the head (12), handle (16), and wiping blade (14) are in linear relation. In the biased position, the wiping blade is maintained at an optimum angle for cleaning a glass surface even with the handle held generally perpendicular to the glass. A spring (60) is fully contained in the head and biases the head toward the rest position. A tension adjustment knob (80) in the head permits adjustment of the spring to a tension level according to the ergonomic requirements of a user. In a second embodiment of the invention an improved locking mechanism comprises a pivoting lock lever (260) held against the top wall (262) of a recess in the head (202) of the squeegee by a retainer (278). The lock lever (260) is movable between locked and released positions. In the locked position stop surfaces (276) on the lock lever abut with upward facing ledges (256) of side plates (250) on the forward portion of the main handle body (208) to lock the head (202) in the biased position. Two springs (306) have forward projections (308) which rest in downwardly biased engagement on a spring pull nut (304). The spring pull nut is adjustable by turning an adjustment knob (294) to modify the tension on the springs. Slip-resistant surfaces on the handle (208) and head (202) improve handling of the squeegee. | ||||||

165 | Lateral handgrip | EP03002942.5 | 2003-02-11 | EP1447181A1 | 2004-08-18 | Worm, Erik Kristensen |
The invention relates to a laterally extending handgrip (6) for releasable attachment (8) to the lance (2) of a high-pressure washing gun with the purpose of providing an ergonomically improved grip of the lance section during a large variety of applications of such high-pressure washing guns. The handgrip (6) is provided with attachment means (8), which makes a displacement along the lance and a rotation about the lance possible and fastening means (14,15,18) for fastening the handgrip in a chosen position and orientation according to the specific need. According to one embodiment of the invention, the attachment means is formed in such a manner that it can not be accidentally released from the lance even though said fastening means are not fastened, for instance during individual adjustment of the handgrip on the lance. |

168 | CLEANING SHEETS COMPRISING A POLYMERIC ADDITIVE TO IMPROVE PARTICULATE PICK-UP AND MINIMIZE RESIDUE LEFT ON SURFACES AND CLEANING IMPLEMENTS FOR USE WITH CLEANING SHEETS | EP01911133.5 | 2001-02-23 | EP1259152A2 | 2002-11-27 | WILLMAN, Kenneth, William; MAILE, Michael, Stephen; KACHER, Mark, Leslie; VANDERSTELT, Marty, Allen; BROWN, Laura, Krebs; CLARE, Benjamin, Jacob; POLICICCHIO, Nicola, John |
Cleaning sheets comprise an additive that is selected to enhance the pick up and retention of particulate material from surfaces, while minimizing the amount of residue left on the surface being cleaned. If the type of additive and level of additive on the cleaning sheet are not carefully selected, the sheet will leave a residue on the surface being cleaned resulting in filming and streaking of the surface that is unacceptable to consumers. The additive is preferably selected from the group consisting of a wax, an oil, and mixtures thereof. Cleaning implements comprise a mop head having a resilient bottom surface, a portion of which preferably has a substantially smooth curved profile or crown which engages a removable cleaning sheet. | ||||||
169 | STRIKING TOOL | EP93916379.6 | 1993-07-27 | EP0653976B1 | 1998-09-23 | Sormunen, Pertti; Hortlund, Hans |
The object of the present invention is to provide an ergonomical and practical, handle-equipped universal striking tool with exchangeable tool bits for use when centre-punching, driving cotter pins and nail heads and driving in clips of various kinds, i.e. for such activities where today a hammer is used for striking a separate thumb-grip held object or separate, thumb-grip held tools. The problems with the earlier known technique are a.o. inferiour accessibility, tool instability, inferior view, impact injury risks and overloading of the hand, and the problems of looking after a complete tool kit. This object is achieved in accordance with the present invention by a handle (1), which at least at one end is equipped with an at least in one plane pivotably arranged driver head socket (2), to which a driver head (3) is attached, said driver head socket being pivotably and lockably arranged in said handle. Exchangeable striking tool bits (10) for different work assignments are easily fitted to said driver head, and extra tool bits are magazined in said handle. | ||||||
170 | Rapid, tool-less adjusting system for hotstick tooling | EP96300746.3 | 1996-02-02 | EP0730320A3 | 1997-11-05 | Treche, Ronald |
A hotstick component (40) has a fastening subassembly for securing the component to another component or a hotstick (10) and allowing reorientation of the component with respect to the hotstick (10) while it is still attached. The component has a fastening end (24,44) with a through hole. A fastening subassembly includes a screw member (70) and a spring member (78). The screw member (70) is received through the through hole and secures the other component thereto. The spring member (78) is received along the screw member (70) and maintains the component in an engaged position. The component is reoriented by moving it against the spring member (78) into a disengaged position, readjusting the component's position, then allowing the spring member to push the component into an engaged position. |

172 | Adjustable connection | EP95306170.2 | 1995-09-04 | EP0703044A1 | 1996-03-27 | Lynn, Geoffrey |
A string trimmer has a handle (1) of adjustable length. The handle (1) is in two relatively rotatable telescopic sections (14,16), enabling the work head (2) to be reversed relative to the hand grips (8,10) for edging. The handle sections (14,16) are located by a stud (32) on one section engaging longitudinal and circumferential grooves on the other defined by a series of plates (40,42,44,46,48) having shaped apertures therein. Depression of a push button (18) disengages a stud (56) carried by a saddle (52) in one section from a transverse bore in the other section to permit relative rotational and longitudinal movement. |
