20100064651IMPROVEMENTS TO HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISMS FOR GRASS TREATMENT DEVICES - A grass treatment device comprises: a first grass treatment element disposed towards a front portion of said device; a second grass treatment element disposed towards a rear portion of said device; a third grass treatment element disposed substantially between said first and said second grass treatment elements, said third element being in the form of a grass cutting tool; and a fourth grass treatment element connectable at a position substantially between said first grass treatment element and said grass cutting tool, said grass treatment elements being elongate and having their longitudinal axes disposed substantially parallel to each other, said grass treatment device characterised in that said fourth grass treatment element is configured to be displaced from said position located between said first grass treatment element and said grass cutting tool in order to enable the distance between the longitudinal axis of said first grass treatment element and the longitudinal axis of said grass cutting tool to be adjusted.03-18-2010
20100192532Variable Speed Transamission - A grass treatment device is provided, which comprises a motor configured to provide a power, a grass treatment tool configured to interact with and treat a grass surface, a drive mechanism configured to propel the device relative to the grass surface and a transmission operably positioned between the motor, the tool and the drive mechanism. The transmission is configured to transmit power from the motor independently to the tool and to the drive mechanism. The transmission is further configured to transform a constant output from the motor into independent variable powering of the tool and the drive mechanism.08-05-2010
20100192533TURF TREATMENT APPARATUS WITH FLOATING HEAD SUSPENDED FROM A FRAME - A turf treatment apparatus with a floating head for use on a grass treatment device having a frame, the turf treatment apparatus having a floating head comprising at least one elongate grass treatment element, and a mounting configured to effect a floating action with respect to the frame wherein the mounting comprises at least one resilient spring element that is configured to spread the weight of the grass treatment element by virtue of the resilience of the at least one spring element acting to counter the force of gravity arising during use of the floating head on non horizontal terrain.08-05-2010
20100313538HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISMS FOR GRASS TREATMENT DEVICES - A grass treatment device height adjustment assembly for adjusting the height of a grass treatment tool above ground level comprises a height adjustment mechanism and an elongate rotational element, such as a roller, having first and second ends, said rotational element comprising an axle extending substantially along the longitudinal axis of said element about which said element rotates, the assembly characterized in that the height adjustment mechanism comprises a rotatable member connected to said axle of said rotational element wherein said rotatable member is associated with a second fixed axis of rotation that is substantially parallel to but offset relative to said first rotational axis, said second axis of rotation thereby configured to enable said height adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of said first axis of rotation relative to said second axis of rotation. 12-16-2010

20100011498SPA COVER LIFTER AND METHOD - A spa cover lifter for moving a spa cover from a closed position to a storage position includes a drive mechanism, a fixed base and a lifting arm assembly. The lifting arm assembly is mounted to first or second leaves of the spa cover. The lifting arm assembly is driven by the drive mechanism and is moveably mounted to the fixed base. The lifting arm assembly includes a cover pivoting assembly and a cover transporting assembly. The cover pivoting assembly is driven by the drive mechanism to move the cover from the closed position to an intermediate position and the cover transporting assembly is driven by the drive mechanism to the move the cover from the intermediate position to the storage position. The spa cover lifter has an automatic shutoff for cutting power when an obstacle is encountered. A method of moving the spa cover is also disclosed.01-21-2010
20100116847UNDER-COUNTER WATER COOLER APPLIANCE - An appliance for dispensing a liquid to a user, including an appliance base cabinet comprising an enclosure positioned under a counter that is fixed to a wall. The appliance base cabinet having a support member that is moveable relative to the counter. At least one dispenser spigot is coupled to the appliance base cabinet at a suitable distance below the counter to allow a user dispense water via the at least one dispenser spigot. At least one liquid storage tank is supported by the support member having an opening for out-flow of the liquid. The at least one liquid storage tank is accessible for removal or installation when the support member is moved away from the kitchen counter. The appliance further includes an intermediate reservoir within the appliance base cabinet under the kitchen counter coupled to the opening of the at least one liquid storage tank through which the liquid out of the at least one liquid storage tank is channeled to the at least one dispenser spigot.05-13-2010
