| 20090166999 | CONVERTIBLE A-FRAME CART - A cart comprises a first pillar that is mounted on a platform and defines first and second load supporting surfaces. A second pillar is mounted on the platform defining a third and fourth load supporting surfaces. The first and third load supporting surfaces are coplanar and the second and fourth load supporting surfaces are coplanar such that the first and second pillars form an A-frame support structure. Movable platforms are connected to the pillars and are movable between a raised position and a lowered position. When the movable platforms are in the lowered position, they are coplanar and form a support surface. Hangers are pivotably attached to the first pillar and are movable between a retracted position and an extended position. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20100283227 | SERVICE CART - A cart comprising a first support structure supported on wheels. A second support structure is connected to the first support structure. The second support structure is movable relative to the first support structure between a first extended position and a second retracted position. A collapsible container is supported by the second support structure. The container occupyies a first extended position when the second support structure is in the first position and a second collapsed position when the second support structure is in the retracted position. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110252591 | FOLDING BROOM - A broom comprises a handle and a head supported by the handle. The head comprises a first head section pivotably connected to a second head section such that the head sections may rotate relative to one another between a folded position and an unfolded position. An actuator is movably mounted on the handle between a first position and a second position. A first connecting member connects the actuator to the first head section and a second connecting member connects the actuator to the second head section such that movement of the actuator between the first position and the second position moves the head sections relative to one another between the folded position and the unfolded position. A method of operating the broom is also provided. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20110253172 | SWIVEL BROOM - A broom comprises a head supporting bristles. A handle is connected to the head at a swivel joint where the swivel joint allows the handle to feely rotate relative to the head. A lock is movable to a locked position to fix the position of the handle relative to the head when the head is in a first position relative to the handle and an unlocked position where the head is free to rotate relative to the handle. A method of operating a broom comprises providing a head supporting bristles connected to a handle at a lockable swivel joint; locking the lockable swivel joint to fix the position of the handle relative to the head in a first position; and unlocking the lockable swivel joint to allow the handle to rotate relative to the head. | 10-20-2011 |

| 20080295870 | CLEANING DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS - The present invention is directed to devices, systems, and methods for transferring cleaning fluid from a tank to a reservoir located on a cleaning implement. The present invention provides a fluid-transfer system that may include a pump assembly for pressurizing fluid stored in a tank and a filling dock for providing fluid communication between the tank and the cleaning implement. The filling dock may releasably secure the implement during the fluid transfer operation. In operation, the cleaning implement is attached to the filling dock, and, after attachment, cleaning fluid flows from the tank, through the filling dock, and into the reservoir of the cleaning implement. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20080302585 | TRANSPORT SYSTEM - A transport system comprises a first cart comprising a first plurality of wheels and a first docking system. A second cart comprises a second plurality of wheels and a second docking system for releasably connecting to the first docking system such that at least one of the first plurality of wheels is axially aligned with at least one of the second plurality of wheels. The carts may comprise a two shelf cart, a platform truck, an accessory module or other type of cart. A method of using the transport system is also provided. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20100219615 | CONVERTIBLE CART - The convertible cart comprises a first platform and a platform assembly. The platform assembly comprises a second platform and a third platform and is pivotably connected to the first platform. The platform assembly moves between a first position where the second platform is disposed above the first platform and a second position where the third platform forms a continuous platform with the first platform. In another embodiment the cart comprises a first platform and a second platform movable between a first position where said second platform is disposed above the first platform and a second position where the third platform is coplanar with the first platform. Methods of converting a cart between a utility cart and a platform truck are also provided. | 09-02-2010 |
