| 20080295894 | Water powered hose reel - A water powered hose reel operated by household water pressure. The hose reel has a traversing hydraulic motor for use in retrieval of a flexible hose. The hose reel includes a spool carried by and enclosed within an enclosure, the spool having a hub with a pair of flanges at opposing ends configured for proper alignment of the hose during storage, take-up and pay-out of the hose. The enclosure is configured for receiving the spool so as to rotate within the enclosure. A hydraulic motor allows take-up of the hose by use of a reciprocating traversing motor driving a rack attached to the spool by a series of gears. Disengagement of the motor allows for manual pay-out of the hose. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20100088976 | Gazebo Structure - The present invention includes a system or kit of injection molded panels and other components having integrated connectors which combine together to form an enclosure, preferably in the form of a gazebo. The support posts, roof rafters, roof supports, roof panels and walls are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The system incorporates a minimum number of components to construct a gazebo type enclosure by integrally forming connectors in to the injection molded components and panels. This minimizes the need for separate extruded or molded connectors to assemble the enclosure. The symmetry of the support posts, roof rafters, roof supports, roof panels and other components also minimizes the shapes of the components and simplifies construction of the gazebo. | 04-15-2010 |

A second fastener system is provided near the distal ends of the dish retainer for attachment of the riser legs to elevate the dish retainer when desired. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100155520 | Hose Reel Cart With Multi-Position Crank Handle - The present invention relates to hose reel carts for handling and storage of flexible hoses, such as garden or air hoses. The hose reel cart is primarily constructed of plastic components having a centrally rotatable spool for winding of the flexible hose, a frame for supporting the spool and a multi-position crank arm assembly allowing the consumer to place the crank handle in a lowered position or a raised position. The crank remotely drives the spool, for winding the hose, through a series of gears located within the crank arm assembly. The device may further include a reciprocating guide assembly that operates during rotation of the spool to rewind the hose into a compact configuration. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100162635 | Gazebo Structure - The present invention includes a system or kit of injection molded and extruded panels and other components having integrated connectors which combine together to form an enclosure, preferably in the form of a gazebo. Optional kits are available to provide the gazebo with screen and/or solid enclosures. The support posts, roof rafters, roof supports, roof panels and walls are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The system incorporates a minimum number of components to construct a gazebo type enclosure by integrally forming connectors in to the injection molded components and panels. This minimizes the need for separate extruded or molded connectors to assemble the enclosure. The symmetry of the support posts, roof rafters, roof supports, roof panels and other components also minimizes the shapes of the components and simplifies construction of the gazebo. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100242357 | Raised Garden Bed Kit - The instant invention provides a kit for assembly of a raised garden bed. The raised garden bed includes panel members, corner connector members, and linear connector members constructed of a polymeric material and adapted to be snapped together into a substantially rigid raised garden bed without the need for special tools or excessive strength. A tongue and groove arrangement is also provided to allow for panel member stacking for increased garden bed height. The components of the kit are constructed and arranged to be packed into a relatively small profile for shipping and transport and are generally light enough to be loaded and unloaded without the need for equipment such as a forklift or pallet jack. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110030812 | Gearless Hose Tracking Assembly For Hose Reel Applications - A hose reel guide device including a base, a housing structure, a static shaft, a guide wheel, a tracker body, and a roller assembly. The base includes a static shaft mounted on a housing structure which is capable of pivoting on the base. The guide wheel is adapted to circumferentially engage a portion of the static shaft and also adapted to receive a hose. The guide wheel is configured to oscillate about the static shaft as the guide wheel translates from end to end on the static shaft, when a moving hose passes therethrough. The tracker body is mounted about the guide wheel to cooperatively move along the shaft with the guide wheel and includes a channel adapted to receive a portion of the hose. The roller assembly is positioned offset the axis of rotation of the guide wheel to maintain greater surface contact between the hose and the guide wheel so as to provide less opportunity for the hose to “jump”/skip/flail on the guide wheel and negligible drag on the hose. | 02-10-2011 |
