Hand Held Trimmer For Cutting Vegetation Such As Hedges And The Like

US Patent:
4926556, May 22, 1990
Filed:
May 23, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/356613
Inventors:
Edward A. Pilatowicz - Woodland Hills CA
Anthony Carsello - Chino CA
Richard Landy - Saugus CA
Assignee:
Allegretti & Company - Chatsworth CA
International Classification:
B26B 1902
US Classification:
30216
Abstract:
A hand held trimmer for cutting heavy vegetation such as hedges or the like is disclosed. The trimmer includes a handle having a plurality of hand grips thereon. The handle includes mounting means for a conventional cutting means at one end and a convention motor at the other. The trimmer cutting and trimmer motor are preferably disposed at substantially opposite ends of the handle such that the weight of one substantially counterbalances the weight of the other. A resilient drive shaft means is disposed within the handle and extends between the motor to the reciprocating blade drive means so as to substantially avoid damaging the motor and the drive means should the trimmer reciprocating blades become temporarily jammed during operation. The handle preferably includes three grips positioned at the apices of a substantially inverted triangle such that the trimmer may be actuated using one hand on the lower grip or two hands on either the upper grips, or one of the upper grips in combination with the lower grip, so as to permit the operator to comfortably trim along a substantially horizontal, vertical, inclined or curvilinear surface.

International Classification:
B26B 1902
US Classification:
30216
Abstract:
A hand held trimmer for cutting heavy vegetation such as hedges or the like is disclosed. The trimmer includes a handle having a centrally disposed hand grip thereon. The handle includes mounting means for a conventional cutting means at one end and a convention motor at the other. The trimmer cutting means and trimmer motor are preferably disposed at substantially opposite ends of the handle such that the weight of one substantially counterbalances the weight of the other. A resilient drive shaft means is disposed within the handle and extends between the motor to the reciprocating blade drive means so as to substantially avoid damaging the motor and the drive means should the trimmer reciprocating blades become temporarily jammed during operation. The handle preferably includes a first grip centrally disposed between the cutting means and the trimmer motor and a second hand grip position on the cutting means end of the handle such that the trimmer may be actuated using one hand on said centrally disposed grip or two hands on said handles, so as to permit the operator to comfortably trim along a substantially horizontal, vertical, inclined or curvilinear surface.

Ratchet And Cam Buckle Tensioning Assembly And Method For Using Same

US Patent:
6547218, Apr 15, 2003
Filed:
Jul 6, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/899015
Inventors:
Richard Landy - Castaic CA 91384
International Classification:
B66F 300
US Classification:
254217, 24 68 CD
Abstract:
A ratchet and cam buckle tensioning assembly or strap tensioner, interposed between a lashing strap tensioned by the ratchet buckle and a lead strap tensioned by the cam buckle. The invention enables an operator to quickly and conveniently pre-tension the lashing and lead straps by removing an un-tensioned length of the lead strap without having to operate the ratchet buckle. The tensioning assembly includes a ratchet buckle for tensioning the lashing strap in stepped increments and a cam buckle for slidingly adjusting the lead strap. The cam buckle housing and the ratchet buckle frame member are a unitary member, forming an single, integrated tensioning assembly. Alternately, the cam buckle is permanently attached adjacent to the ratchet buckle. The cam buckle includes a housing adapted to slidably receive the lead strap. The housing has a pressure plate with a first restraining surface, such as a friction surface, over which the lead strap slides.

Shock Absorbing Work Lamp Protector

US Patent:
6129445, Oct 10, 2000
Filed:
Aug 11, 1998
Appl. No.:

Inventors:
Richard Landy - Castaic CA
Assignee:
Yus United Enterprises Inc. - Hsin Chuang
International Classification:
F21V 1504
US Classification:
362369
Abstract:
A shock absorbing protector for work lamp mainly includes a polygonal protective framework defining an inner space and two sets of shock absorbing means separately provided at two ends of said protective framework. Each set of the shock absorbing means includes a central member and a plurality of elastic members radially and elastically extended from said central member. The central members are fixed two sides of a work lamp positioned inside the polygonal protective framework and the elastic members are connected at their outer ends to two end frames of the polygonal protective framework, making the work lamp suspended in the protective framework while a buffer distance is left between the work lamp and the protective framework. The polygonal protective framework and the shock absorbing elastic members protect the work lamp therein from tilting over or crushed while allow the work lamp to emit light at any angle of elevation.
