US Classification:
211 706, 211 4, 211207, 24829721, 2483165
Abstract:
A trimmer rack for selectively supporting grass trimmers on a trailer. The trimmer rack includes two support members. Bracket members are attached to one of the support members so as to retain and support one end of the trimmers. Trimmer rack mechanisms are provided on the other support member for selectively supporting and lockingly retaining the other end of the trimmers. The trimmer rack mechanisms include a hook member attached to the support member and a pivot arm selectively pivotable thereover between closed and open positions. A lock mechanism is provided for selectively locking the pivot arm in its closed position. An abutment wall is selectively attached to the hook member and is adjustable for increasing and decreasing the trimmer retaining area.

Apparatus For Transporting Operator Behind Self-Propelled Vehicle
US Patent:
5697623, Dec 16, 1997
Filed:
Oct 4, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/539055
Inventors:
Gregory J. Bermes - Fort Wayne IN

Steven P. Bermes - Fort Wayne IN
Assignee:
Novae Corp. - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
B62D 6300
US Classification:
280 327
Abstract:
An apparatus in combination with or attachable to a self-propelled vehicle such as a lawn mower for transporting the operator therebehind. The apparatus includes a first arm pivotally connected to the lawn mower and adapted to pivot about a first generally horizontally disposed axis of rotation. A support platform is pivotally connected to the other end of the arm about a second axis of rotation which is also horizontally disposed and which is parallel to the first axis of rotation. A spring member is provided and biases the first arm upwardly for placing the apparatus in a retracted storage position. The apparatus is selectively placeable in an extended in use position during which the operator stands on the support platform and rides behind the self-propelled lawn mower. The support platform includes a sliding plate for sliding on the ground and reducing frictional forces when the operator is standing on the support platform.
Apparatus For Transporting Operator Behind Self-Propelled Vehicle
US Patent:
5575140, Nov 19, 1996

Assignee:
Novae Corp. - Fort Wayne IN
International Classification:
A01D 3467, A01D 6704
US Classification:
56 147
Abstract:
An apparatus in combination with or attachable to a self-propelled vehicle such as a lawn mower for transporting the operator therebehind. The apparatus includes a first arm pivotally connected to the lawn mower, a second arm pivotally connected to the first arm and a support platform pivotally connected to the second arm. The apparatus is spring loaded for biasing the first and second arms and the support platform in a retracted storage position during which the operator can walk behind the lawn mower. The apparatus is selectively extendable to an in use ride behind position during which the operator may stand on the support platform and ride behind the self-propelled lawn mower. The support platform includes a sliding plate for sliding on the ground and reducing frictional forces when the operator is standing on the support platform.
Monofilament Line Cutting Tool
US Patent:
2013025, Oct 3, 2013
Filed:
Mar 27, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/430815
Inventors:
Steven P. Bermes - Fort Wayne IN, US
Jay R. Wehrle - Fort Wayne IN, US
Jay R. Wehrle - Fort Wayne IN, US
International Classification:
B26B 27/00, B65H 57/00
US Classification:
30124, 30289
Abstract:
A monofilament line cutting tool is formed by sandwiching a cutting blade between first and second plastic sheets which are thermally bonded to one another. A monofilament line receiving slot in the plastic sheets extends to the blade whereby monofilament line bent into a U-shape may be placed in contact with the blade cutting edge. The plastic sheets are part of spool forming plastic sheet portions which are thermally bonded to one another and shaped into a spool. The plastic sheets forming the tool are selectively pivotable about a live hinge relative to the spool. The plastic sheets can be separated from one another for forming: a sphere generally around the cutting edge; a pair of elongate barrels extending parallel along each side of the monofilament line receiving slot and adjacent the cutting edge; or, a monofilament line receiving cavity extending to the blade cutting edge.
