Abstract: A blades assembly for a grass-cleaning device includes at least one blade seat with several fixing portions, several weighting sets and several grass-cleaning blades. The blade seat or seats are secure on a driving shaft of a grass-cleaning device. The weighting sets and the grass-cleaning blades are disposed on the fixing portions. When the blade seat rotates, several parallel and roughly equally spaced rotation paths of the grass-cleaning blades are created. By the repeated hitting on the leaves, most moss or dirt on the leaves will be removed. So, the grass-cleaning efficiency of this invention is raised and it is easy to repair and replace the blades.

Title: Stockage de gaz naturel comprime et systeme de debit pour vehicules au gaz naturel
Inventor: BOWEN RONALD R
IPC: B60K15/01
Filed: 2002-11-25
Abstract: La présente invention concerne des systèmes de stockage et de débit de carburant pour le gaz naturel comprimé, construits en aciers faiblement alliés, ultra-résistants, le nickel représentant moins de 2,5 % de leur masse. La résistance à la traction de cet acier est supérieure à 900 MPa (130 ksi). L'avantage principal de tels systèmes est leur notable légèreté relative par rapport aux systèmes existants à base d'acier. Cette moindre masse confère aux véhicules au gaz naturel comprimé un meilleur rendement. Cela se retrouve soit dans une autonomie plus grande du fait de la plus grande quantité d'emport des réservoirs à pression élevée, soit dans un accroissement la charge marchande. Un autre avantage du système de l'invention est une réduction considérable du coût de revient par unité de puissance par rapport aux systèmes existants.

Title: Apparatus and method for forming discrete hollow parts
Inventor: FLOYD GREGORY S
IPC: B29C48/09
Filed: 2002-12-20
Abstract: A method for continuously forming discrete hollow parts includes extruding a t least one continuous stream of molten plastic. A plurality of mold segments (114a, 114b) are arranged such that one or more segments periodically close on the one or more streams of molten plastic and define discrete part forming cavities when closed. A pressure differential is created within the discrete part forming cavities to shape the molten plastic accordingly. Air or anothe r gas is replenished within the discrete hollow parts either in the discrete part forming cavities, or nearly immediately upon discharge from the cavitie s. The discrete hollow parts are then cooled. The apparatus for forming discret e hollow parts in this manner has an extruder (52) and a plurality of the mold segments (114a, 114b) including one or more segments that can be closed on t he plastic stream or streams. The pressure differential is applied by the apparatus to the closed mold segments. The hollow part interior is replenish ed either by the apparatus or manually by an operator. The parts can be cooled by a part of the apparatus or downstream of the apparatus.

Title: Live bait container with sliding door
Inventor: PERTTU BOYD
IPC: A01K97/04
Filed: 2004-06-21
Abstract: A bait container for storing bait in water incorporates a perforated carriage that slides vertically within a housing. Raising the carriage extracts the bait from the water and obviates the need to immerse a hand in cold water. A post extends upward from the carriage. A door can be moved in a vertical plane to cover an access opening. A rigid link is fixed to the door and extends inward to pass through a slot in the post. The slot locks the door, raises the door, and limits or prevents over-raising of the door. The post is free-sliding so as to cause the door to close unless held open, reducing the likelihood of bait egress. The door can be locked in a closed position using a rotatable latch arrangement to protect further against bait egress.
