A walk-behind floor microscrubber apparatus. The microscrubber includes as main subassemblies an upright handle assembly pivotally connected to a base assembly. The handle assembly includes components for recovering a cleaning solution applied to the floor during cleaning operations. The base assembly houses electrically powered motors for driving scrubbing brushes, and a clean solution reservoir. Spent cleaning solution applied to the floor is sucked to a recovery tank on the handle assembly. The microscrubber has features for avoiding vacuum motor flooding, including a specially-shaped recovery tank. Chambers in the recovery tank capture used cleaning solution when the handle assembly is tilted, thereby reducing the likelihood of solution travelling back to the vacuum motor. The microscrubber also has an exoskeleton reserve tank in the handle assembly. The exoskeleton reserve tank serves as a reserve 'backup,' to the chambered recovery tank, offering redundant protection against flooding to the vacuum motor.

Floor scrubber apparatus with vacuum motor protection

An upright walk-behind microscrubber apparatus including a handle assembly connected to a base assembly, and featuring an improved handle function. The handle assembly is manipulated by the user to operate the apparatus. The apparatus provides a releasable, lockable, joint assembly that connects the handle assembly to the base assembly, whereby the handle assembly is pivotally connected to the base assembly. The joint assembly permits the handle assembly to be disposed in a fully released configuration in which the handle assembly is freely pivotal relative to the base assembly, or in a fully locked position in which the handle assembly is temporarily locked in an upright orientation. The joint assembly permits the base assembly to be released to a use position generally parallel to the floor, or releasably locked in a storage position generally parallel to the handle assembly but with the base assembly's scrubbing brushes removed from the floor.

Floor scrubber apparatus with releasably locking handle

Upright floor scrubber

A receptacle comprising a container and a lid is disclosed. The container includes one or more walls and a plurality of gussets extending from the container. The gussets include a first gusset having a cavity facing away from a second gusset. The lid includes a plurality of hinge components, namely a first hinge component including a first pin. The lid is pivotally coupled to the container by inserting the first pin of the first hinge component into the cavity of the first gusset and using a second pin to rotationally couple the second hinge component to the second gusset. A first protrusion, extending from the first hinge component, is configured to contact the first gusset and restrict opening of the lid.

Receptacle

A receptacle comprising a container and a lid is disclosed. The container may include one or more walls and a pair of gussets extending from a top end of the container, wherein each of the pair of gussets includes a cavity facing an opposing gusset of the pair of the gussets. The lid may include a pair of hinge components, each of the pair of hinge components including a pivot pin and a stop pin, the lid being hingedly coupled to the container via a coupling of the hinge components and the pair of gussets. Further, the stop pin of each of the pair of hinge components may be configured to contact the corresponding gusset when the lid is opened to a predetermined angle and prevent the lid from opening beyond the predetermined angle.

A roof assembly for a portable restroom includes a curved roof having a plurality of raised ribs extending parallel to each other, the curved roof including an opening between two of the raised ribs; a fan housing disposed in the opening of the roof, the fan housing having four sidewalls and top and bottom openings, the fan housing including extension portions extending outwardly from the sidewalls; a fan disposed in the fan housing; and a vent cap with sidewalls and a top wall overlying the top opening of the fan housing, the sidewalls of the vent cap are configured to include the extension portions within the vent cap such that a first gap is provided between the sidewalls of the fan housing and the sidewalls of the vent cap, the top wall is disposed spaced apart from the sidewalls of the fan housing to provide a second gap communicating with the first gap.

Roof assembly for a transportable restroom

A transportable restroom comprises a rectangular skid; a clean water tank carried by the skid and a waste water tank carried by the skid and disposed side to side on the skid to form a unitary base; wall extending from the base including a door; roof over the wall; and a toilet disposed over the waste water tank. The skid includes a recess with triangular wall portions. The waste water tank includes a bottom with corresponding triangular wall portions; and the waste water tank is disposed within the recess.

Transportable restroom

A transportable restroom comprises a skid; a clean water tank and a waste water tank disposed on the skid, the clean water tank and said waste water tank being joined together to form a base; walls extending from the base including a door; roof supported by the walls; and a toilet disposed over the waste water tank.

Backpack canister vacuum cleaner

A multi-purpose, movable apparatus (henceforth dolly-truck) for conveying objects, such as, for example, a five-gallon cylindrical industrial bucket is described. The dolly-truck includes a one-piece, molded plastic base having caster wheels and truck wheels. The caster wheels are mounted on a lower surface of the base and provide short distance rolling movement capability in the upright position. Connected to the base are two truck support arms which support an axle with two truck wheels. The truck wheels provide a hand truck capability for negotiating stairs, bypassing obstacles and an omnidirectional capability in conveyance of objects. Centered on the base is a retaining wall for receiving and holding objects. Connected to, and integrated into the retaining wall is an adjustable handle for conveying the dolly-truck by hand. The handle can be used to move the dolly-truck on the caster wheels as a conventional dolly, or alternatively on the truck wheels as a conventional hand truck. The base of the dolly-truck is surrounded by an optional ring which allows the dolly-truck to be conveyed by foot. An annular surface of the base outside the retaining wall and inside the ring forms a spill surface that prevents spillage of liquid from an open bucket onto the floor.
