Disclosed herein are various embodiments of a system and method for operating a surface pressure washer with a wand component. The method may include the steps of cleaning a first surface through a first fluid path, where the first fluid path includes a pump, a pressure regulating valve, a diversion block, and a spray gun, while spray nozzles are not discharging fluid to a second surface, actuating a valve connected to the diversion block, thereby reducing the pressure available to the first fluid path and creating a second fluid path, where the second fluid path includes the pump, the pressure regulating valve, the diversion block and the spray nozzles, where the spray nozzles are configured to rotate above the second surface when the second fluid path is open, and cleaning a second surface underneath the pressure washer system through the second fluid path.

Apparatus for covering product containers loaded in a cargo container is disclosed. The apparatus includes an automated cord reel including a spool and a motor configured to drive the spool. The spool when activated reels in a cord attached to a cargo blanket to spread the cargo blanket over product containers in the cargo container in a smooth motion and/or relatively constant speed to prevent snagging on the product containers. The automated cord reel may be configured as a mobile unit with wheels. A brake system may be provided to prevent movement of the automated cord reel during operation. The automated cord reel may have a battery to provide electric power to the motor. A magnetic floor brake may be configured to hold a cart body in a selected position.

Collapsible reusable watertight carrying cases are provided in sizes varying from small containers without wheels to large sealable container bins on wheels, to provide large quantities of water or other supplies and cargo. The cases are assembled or in disassembled from a joined flat space-saving configuration to a functioning case and vice-versa. The sides of the cases are erected progressively by hand by interlocking self sealing reciprocating channel and channel engaging members elements at the corners. The panels also disassemble progressively by being manually pulled apart. When folded into a flat storage or shipping configuration, the panels stay together, resisting unfolding by virtue of snaps which are either molded into the panels or bonded to them. The carrying cases are resistant to water, dirt, bacteria, molds, allergens, and inclement weather.

A cart including a body that has a frame and a caster, and the frame including first and second bars. The cart further includes a basket, first and second couplers attached to the basket such that the first and second couplers removably couple in a snug fit with either the first and second bars respectively, or the second and first bars respectively. The cart further includes first and second latches attached to the basket such that the first and second latches are constructed to reversibly secure the first and second couplers respectively to either the first bar and the second bar, or the second bar and the first bar, and a latch-connecting means having a first end attached to the first latch and a second end attached to the second latch such that the latch-connecting means permits the second latch to be controlled by the first latch.

The present disclosure relates to a bearing surface transporter comprising an upper part for receiving an object to be transported, such as a patient bearing surface of an operating table, and a lower part. The lower part may comprise: at least three castors for manually moving the bearing surface transporter in any horizontal direction, at least one motorized drive wheel/roller, and a lowering mechanism for selectively lowering and raising the at least one drive wheel/roller relative to the castors, wherein the drive wheel(s)/roller(s) assume(s) an upper position for moving the bearing surface transporter manually and a lower position for moving the bearing surface transporter in a motorized manner. The lowering mechanism may have a pedal which can be actuated in an actuation direction, and the lowering mechanism may be designed such that a first actuation of the pedal in the actuation direction lowers the drive wheel(s)/roller(s) from the upper position into the lower position and that a second actuation of the pedal in the actuation direction raises the drive wheel(s)/roller(s) from the lower position into the upper position.

A storage and transportation car for folding chairs and folding tables is an apparatus that stores and transports folding chairs and folding tables. The apparatus includes a platform, a plurality of first cleats and a plurality of second cleats. The platform includes an elongated base panel that upholds both the chairs and tables from the ground. The frame connects the plurality of first cleats and the plurality of second cleats with the platform. The plurality of first cleats and the plurality of second cleats position the chairs and tables across the platform. A plurality of first sockets and a plurality of second sockets are defined between the plurality of first cleats and the plurality of second cleats, respectively. The plurality of first sockets and the plurality of second sockets orients each chair. The plurality of first cleats and the plurality of second cleats upholds the legs of each chair.

The present invention is generally a load-bearing assembly that may be expanded so as to increase a surface area on which to support different sized loads. The load-bearing assembly may be constructed with multiple T-shaped frames or housings that register with each other forming a unique H-shaped frame design. The two T-shaped housings register with each other in a manner that facilitates the adjustment of the width of the load-bearing assembly. Extensions enclosed within each housing and extendable at terminal ends of each T-shaped housing extend outwardly from their respective terminal ends to adjust a length of the load-bearing assembly. The load-bearing assembly may be constructed of a light, sturdy metal alloy that is lightweight. Applications include moving inventory inside warehouses or moving furniture or appliances from one location to another.

Various examples are directed to apparatus and methods for wheel dolly storage. An apparatus includes a first elongated arm and a plurality of vertical support structures configured to be affixed to a horizontal surface of the first elongated arm. Each of the plurality of vertical support structures is configured to be inserted into an end portion of a wheel dolly to support the wheel dolly in a vertical orientation. The apparatus also includes a connector portion configured to be affixed to an end of the first elongated arm. A second arm is configured to be affixed to the connector portion on a first end. A second end of the second arm opposite the first end is configured to be inserted into an end portion of a base wheel dolly while the first elongated arm rests on the base wheel dolly.

An object to provide a brake device for a caster that has a simple structure, provides reliable braking, has no risk of damaging the circumferential surface of a roller, and has high durability. The brake device for a caster includes: a plurality of projecting parts formed concentrically at regular intervals on opposite side-surfaces of a roller in a direction in parallel with the axis, and levers set across the roller at both side-panels of a fork so as to be opposed to the projecting parts, and a claw formed at a tip of each of the levers so as to be opposed to the projecting parts, wherein the levers are operated so that the claw is engaged with a concave part formed between the projecting parts, thereby locking rotation of the roller.
