Device for extracting and using auxiliary power
A device for extracting auxiliary power from a power source installed on or associated with an implement, and supplying the auxiliary power to an auxiliary tool associated with the implement. The invention is preferably employed in the context of an auxiliary tool, e.g., in the form of a rotary trimmer, edger or the like, associated with another power implement, such as a lawnmower, wherein the power is preferably extracted from a driven member of the implement. Advantageously, the device is easy to attach/detach, is universally locatable and/or orientable on the implement, and is easily retrofittable to practically any existing implement, such as a lawnmower deck.
Attachable holder
An attachable holder has a holder portion with attachment openings in a base portion and a cover. The cover fits over the holder portion and is frictionally held in place. Attachment means such as cable ties or hook and loop straps is used to secure the attachable holder to a handle on a tool such as a weed trimmer, lawn mower etc. to hold safety glasses, ear protection, cell phones, etc. In one embodiment, the cover has retainer sockets or retainer slots in each end that releasably fit within retainer balls or retainer ridges found on the upper surface of the holder portion. In one embodiment, flexible clips and attachment wedges are used to secure the attachable holder to the handle. In another embodiment the cover is connected to the holder portion by an integrally formed hinge that allows the cover to close and open.
Unmanned operation vehicle
An unmanned operation vehicle includes a housing, a wheel provided in the housing, and an operation unit provided under the housing. The housing includes a camera unit, a stop switch configured to stop driving of the wheel and the operation unit when actuated, and a stop switch actuating member configured to actuate the stop switch.
