Title: Vegetation trimming and edging device with adjustable head orientation
Inventor: MARSHALL JAMES D
IPC: A01D34/90
Filed: 2000-07-13
Granted: 2003-10-23
Abstract: A vegetation trimming and edging device has an adjustable head (12) that permits selective positioning between trimming and edging orientations. A shaft (14) extends between the head and a handle. The head receives one end of the shaft. A coupling mechanism (26) couples the head and shaft, and locks the head against rotational movement about the shaft. In particular, the coupling mechanism includes a locking structure and a bias mechanism. The bias mechanism urges the locking structure into engagement to prevent rotational movement of the head. Downward pressure applied to the head overcomes the bias, however, and disengages the locking mechanism for rotation of the head between trimming and edging modes. When the downward pressure is released, the locking mechanism is again engaged to lock the head in position for the desired operational mode.  <IMAGE>

Title: Controlled flow, bursting water gun release mechanism
Inventor: ANDRADE BRUCE M D
IPC: A63H33/18
Filed: 1994-06-28
Granted: 1998-02-05
Abstract: The present invention involves a water gun having at least one pressurizable air/water storage tank, a pressurizing mechanism, a channel of release for shooting water and a release mechanism. The improvement lies in the particular release mechanism of the water gun. This release mechanism is for controlled flow with bursting release of water. It includes a plug valve which is located within a channel of release. The release mechanism has a first spring connected to the plug valve which biases the plug valve to its first, closed position. This first spring and the internal water pressure against the plug valve constitutes the "first force."  Linkage connects a trigger to the plug valve such that activation of the trigger provides a second force which moves the linkage so as to move the plug valve from the first, closed position to the second, opened position and release of the trigger permits the first force to bias the plug valve back to its first, closed position. There is also a delay spring located within the linkage itself. When the trigger is pulled, it pulls the delay spring in a direction opposite from an against the first force. This first force is the force of the first spring as well as the internal water pressure holding the valve closed. At some point, the delay spring overcomes the forces of the first force holding the valve closed. At this point, the valve snaps open and there is rapid decrease of water pressure causing a burst of water to exit the water gun. This creates a controllable burst and a realistic trigger release.
