Abstract

A drive assembly (140) for a walk-behind, powered device operably couples an engine (110) of the powered device to a mobility assembly (120) to provide mobility of the powered device responsive at least in part to operation of the engine (110). The drive assembly (140) includes a transmission shaft and a mechanical power reversing assembly (150). The transmission shaft selectively receives first drive power or second drive power coupled from the engine (110) to drive a first drivable component (122) and a second drivable component (124) of the mobility assembly (120). The first and second drivable components (122, 124) are disposed substantially at opposing sides of the powered device. The mechanical power reversing assembly (150) is selectively engagable to convert the first drive power generated for the first drivable component (122) into the second drive power provided to the second drivable component (124) and vice versa.

Abstract

A riding lawn care vehicle (10) may include a frame (60), a steering assembly (30), a brake assembly (110), and a mechanical brake linkage assembly (120). At least a first drive wheel and a second drive wheel (32) of the riding lawn care vehicle may be attachable to the frame. The steering assembly may include a first steering lever and a second steering lever (34), where the first and second steering levers are operably coupled to the first and second drive wheels respectively to facilitate turning of the riding lawn care vehicle based on drive speed control of the first and second drive wheels responsive to positioning of the first and second steering levers. The brake assembly may be operably coupled to the first and second drive wheels to enable brakes to be selectively applied to the first and second drive wheels. The mechanical brake linkage assembly may be configured to activate the brake assembly relative to the first and second drive wheels in response to one of the first steering lever or the second steering lever being moved outwardly to an outboard position independent of a position of the other of the first steering lever or the second steering lever.

Abstract

A water application device may include a main body, a flow control assembly, an operable member and an applicator head. The main body may be graspable along a handle portion thereof by an operator. The handle portion may include a back portion configured to be held toward the operator during water application. The flow control assembly may be housed in the main body and may include a volume control assembly to control volume of flow of water through the device. The operable member may be attachable to a front of the handle portion to interface with the flow control assembly to alternately start and stop flow based on a position of the operable member. The applicator head may be attachable to an outlet of the main body to apply water passing through the applicator head based on an application characteristic of the applicator head. A planar surface may be provided at the back portion. The planar surface lies in a plane intersecting a longitudinal centerline of the back portion at a point along a length of the back portion. The planar surface may define at least part of a range of motion of a flow control lever of the volume control assembly.

Abstract

A chain saw (1) comprises an endless saw chain (11) and a saw bar (9) with a peripheral track for the saw chain (11). The saw chain (11) has a plurality of chain links and/or chain link components, in particular cutter links (29), drive links (23) and/or tie straps (35). At least one of the tie straps (35) comprises a cavity (43) or notch arranged at a first lateral surface (45) thereof. The first lateral surface (45) faces a lateral surface of at least one adjacent chain link or chain link component. In order to provide a saw chain movement with minimized wear and in addition a further reduction of the tendency of the chain links to flex during operation, the cavity (43) or notch is manufactured during a deforming process, serves as a reservoir for a lubricant, in particular for oil, for lubrication of the saw chain (11) and comprises an extension essentially in the driving direction of the saw chain (11) and, at least in part, a dilatation, an extension and/or a branching essentially extending in the direction perpendicular thereto.

Abstract

The invention relates to a garden hose (GS) with at least one cover layer. The aim of the invention is to improve the grip of the hose relative to the hand of a user and/or on a connection to a connecting element (SK) via a compression-type fitting (UM, HK). For this purpose, a relief structure (RS) is produced on an outward surface of a cover layer (M21) of the hose (GS). Said relief structure (RS) can substantially improve the haptic impression and/or, when the connection (UM) is tight, bring about an interlocking or at least semi-interlocking engagement of retaining elements (HK) of a connecting element (SK) with the relief structure (RS) and substantially increase the retaining force which prevents the hose end from accidentally slipping off the connecting element (SK).

Abstract

A battery powered vehicle is provided that may include a battery power source, an electric drive motor powered by the battery power source, a charging receptacle, and a drive controller. The electric drive motor may be operably coupled to a wheel of the battery powered vehicle to provide drive power for the battery powered vehicle. The charging receptacle may be configured to enable charging of the battery power source via a battery charging assembly connectable to the charging receptacle. The charging receptacle may include circuitry forming a detection loop closed responsive to operable coupling of the charging receptacle with a charger plug of the battery charging assembly. The closing of the detection loop may generate an indication that the charging receptacle is operably coupled to the charger plug. The drive controller may include processing circuitry configured to implement a mobility restriction.
