Steer wrestling at the Tsuu T'ina rodeo
All rodeo cowboys are tough. I particularly admire the steer wrestlers as that is an event that I have a hard time even dreaming of trying out. Leaping off a perfectly good horse onto the back of a small cow with large horns seems a bit too close to the insane end of the scale for me.
I absolutely love watching and photographing this event despite having no interest in doing it myself. The short go of the steer wrestling event at the Tsuu T'ina All Indian Rodeo on July 26th put the top 10 qualifiers in the finals and a shot at the money. Keenan Crane (the image directly above) had a great run and took home the cheque and the hardware – well deserved!
This series of Leon Montour pulling in a steer illustrates a bit of the power, balance and danger of this event.
Tsuu T'ina Nation Tour Rodeo Finals
This weekend was the 41st annual Tsuu T'ina Nation's Rodeo which draws First Nation people born to the saddle from all over North America. The rodeo is held at the Redwood Meadows Arena which just across Highway 22 from my home. This is one of my favourite rodeos and it was great to be able to be on the rails for the last day.
It was an afternoon that started with sun which gave way to heavy, heavy rain and ended with high clouds towards the end of the night. Dynamic photographic opportunities came with the changing weather which was great for me. Weather doesn't make too much difference for the people or for the animals – they are all ready to go no matter what is going on above. I have a stack of photographs to look at, and will share more soon, but wanted to get out this first image of one of the high-flying bull riders from a great afternoon in the Bragg Creek area.
A Coyote's breakfast leaps
This morning I found a coyote skittering along the ditch on Highway 8 in between Bragg Creek and Springbank. At first, I thought it was an older pup but then I realized it was an adult in its sleek summer coat. I often photograph coyotes in the cooler months when they have their heavier jackets on so I'll forgive myself the initial error. I believe this one was a female and she was absolutely beautiful. I was worried when I spotted her as she seemed to be trying to cross the road amid pretty steady traffic. Watching her, it became apparent that she and a couple of ravens were attracted to some bits of roadkill on the highway.
It was a relief when she slipped under the fence towards a field with an open stand of broken and weathered trees. She turned her attention towards hunting for field mice and that's where the fun really began.
Turns out she is an accomplished hunter and I was delighted to watch her successfully catch two mice on three jumps. Of those leaps, I was in good position for two of them and am happy with the action caught.
The image above is the start of the first leap. The image at the top of this post was the next image as she was fully airborne.
The whole sequence from target acquisition to landing is efficient and I admired the focus, power and dexterity she showed. The three leaps all occurred within a short 2-3 minute stretch. On either side, she favoured me with a few inquisitive looks.
After a total of fifteen minutes she crossed a gravel back road and disappeared into the heavy scrub brush on the other side.
Catching early light in the clouds
The perch on the hill I photographed the Aurora Borealis and lightning storm from a couple of weeks ago is now officially one of my favourite prairie viewpoints. On the weekend, I left my home in the dark and headed northeast towards the growing dawn. With a short drive I returned back to the same spot and found the view to be beautiful.
A heavy cloud stretched overhead towards the horizon with a break which allowed the first rays of pink sunlight to skip along the underside. The fast rising sun quickly changed the light from pink to gold as it pushed through less of the atmosphere.
A wicked lightning storm
One of my drives home earlier this week was made more exciting by a massive thundercloud just south of Highway 8. I stopped near the Rockyview Fire Department in Elbow Valley and photographed as it rumbled past. There were a few lightning strikes that I managed to capture but I was paying more attention to the angry beast.
It was dark, dark grey in the center, the edges were rolling fast and the temperature plunged by 10°C or more just before the rain began to fall. I scurried back into my car once the volume raised up to a downpour. Back on the road, I wondered how the storm would develop as it moved eastward. The next morning, I learned that it contributed to the flooding and heavy hail that beat up Chestermere. That was one of the mean summer storms we get in the Calgary area and I am sorry to hear about the damage it caused.
American avocets at Frank Lake
Frank Lake, just east of High River, is a great refuge for birds during migrations. It also serves as a summer home and breeding ground for many shorebirds and waterfowl. The sandy flats, rocky outcrops, tall reedy marshes and open water appeal to a wide range of birds and provides nice habitat to raise their chicks in.
The American avocet (Recurvirostra americana) is a beautiful shorebird that summers in Frank Lake. This is the northern end of their summer range – I'm glad they choose to come this far. I have photographed them at the lake a few times before where they have been feeding in the muddy shallows and beaches. On a trip there a couple of weeks ago, I was looking for some in flight images. When I had walked down to the shore, all the birds were active. I don't think it was because of me or any raptors that had rustled everyone up. It seemed like it was a sunny afternoon, lot's of chicks were hungry and all of the birds were flying, swimming and running around. It was a great scene with pelicans, stilts, geese, gulls and ducks all milling about.
And avocets! I found two small groups of them along the shoreline. One was a group of adults that generally left one another alone to forage for the tiny insects they favour. The other was a pair with their brood of four chicks.
From the adult group, I was able to track a few fliers. The family was a great bonus as I had not seen avocet babies before and I enjoyed watching them following their parents around.
Fox kits playing tug-of-war
At one point when I photographed a family of foxes in May, there was a ragged piece of cloth which served for a long-running tug-of-war at one point in the evening.
These three kits were the main players and they alternated between 1 on 1 and 1 on 2 battles.
For a while, a fourth looked interested in joining but they didn't join in for very long.
Wild Rose Country
This wild rose (Rosa acicularis), Alberta's provincial flower, was glowing among the trees a couple of mornings ago when I was out early in Bragg Creek. The sun had just cleared a hilltop across the fields so the light was still soft and warm. Early mornings in the summer are a source of great inspiration from and communion with nature for me.
Canada Day at Redwood Meadows
Canada Day is always a great event in the Redwood Meadows community. Due to enthusiasm, organization and efforts of the small army of volunteers a super fun day is created. From the bike parade led by the Redwood Meadows Fire Department, the entertainment on the outdoor stage, the adults tea party in the shade and all of the great children's activities (face painting, bouncy castles, slip and slide and more) to the fireworks at the end of the day – they were all fantastic.
Our children had a great time down on the grounds and I wasn't far behind. The weather cooperated, after a nasty hailstorm the night before, so I have a bit of a sunburn to show for my time listening to music and watching the kids play.
The fireworks are always good and I think they were really great this year. They started at 11pm under a still fairly bright sky. We sat facing northwest so I enjoyed having that element to frame the explosions against. A great day and we were all worn out at the end. Thank you to everyone who made this happen! Happy Canada Day!

54 reviews | 4.7 out of 5
bought this unit for my pantry closet. Needed something slim in width. Works well! And so easy to put together
I bought this to hold my cast iron cookware, according to the manufacturer's website it holds up to 90 pounds per shelf. The paperwork says that you can order extra shelves, but the company doesn't offer them anymore so I just ordered another shelf just for the extra shelves. Love it!
To be honest I was not expecting much from this unit, but instead, I was really pleasantly surprised. It's perfect. Durable, good looking, and very easy to put together. I'm using it inside a small pantry and it's the perfect fit.
This 4 tier shelf was the perfect fit for our clothes closet in our travel trailer. We didn't have any room to stack towels and sheets and after looking over sizes and features of other shelving this was the perfect fit. It was so simple to set up and very light yet sturdy. Can also be extended by adding other shelving. Would easily recommend it to others.
I love this shelf, I am using it in my bathroom and a wash cloth and face towel rack and it is perfect, right size and height.
Very, very easy to assemble and looks awesome. Perfect.
Incredibly easy to set up; no tools needed. But, be aware that the shelves don't overlap the back support; bring them forward a little bit and they'll click right into place. The side locks (?) on each shelf are set up so that they're not on line with each other. There's nothing wrong with them. Just slide the shelves a little as I wrote in the previous sentence and you'll be fine.
I bought this shelf unit to store music books and folders. It works great~ Shelf was very easy to put together and is real sturdy! Would absolutely recommend it to anyone!
I bought this for my daughters room. I bought baskets to set on the shelves. It is fairly small so I wasn't that easy to find baskets that fit. Overall it will work for the purpose I bought it for. If you need lots of space, this is not the piece for you. For the price compared to other shelving systems it is good. The color is more on the side of pewter than the silver that it looks in the picture. Easiest set up you could ask for. I kept telling my husband to put it up...he kept putting it off. I put it together myself and had it up in 5 minutes. No tools needed.
The quality of this shelf exceeded my expectations. Needed shelves for a small bathroom closet and the fact that it folds made it work perfectly. Much nicer color than I expected, an antique bronze looking coating rather than shiny cheap metal. Nice.
Made of iron I think, very strong, coated w/dk gray finish. snaps together easily. Great for tight spaces. I can see it being quite useful. $33.00? Can you say bargain? I don't think they stack though. And has screw-in plastic footings/ won't scratch floor.
The dimensions were precise. I had a very small area that I wanted some shelving for and it fit perfectly. It was extremely easy to set up and looks a lot better than those plastic coated ones.
I do wish there was taller version with another self or two.
This is a nice little shelf for the money. You don't need any tools to assemble. I had some difficulty fitting the shelves to the frame at first, but the shelf was cold from being in our garage. Once it warmed up, it was easier to assemble.
It was really easy to put together!
Just what a needed in a small bathroom.
Just what I needed to fit in a certain spot. was very little assembly and is very sturdy for it's size.
I have tried for a long time to find something that would fit right into the small nook in the kitchen then I saw this and the measurements were perfect! It was so easy to put together, no tools needed.
My old wooden floors are uneven, but with the adjustable feet, I was able to make it level.
I would recommend this heartily for anyone needed some shelves that take up little room.
Great price, great value. Love it!
My honest opinion was that this item might be a little cheesy. To my surprise it is a nice piece. It is sturdy and fits in a tight space in the pantry. Super extra easy to assemble so if you need to slip some shelves into a closet or corner this item is a great big YES!
This 4-tier shelf was everything we expected it to be - sturdy, easy to assemble, and attractive. We would recommend it to anyone needing this type of shelving.
I was looking for a sturdy self stand to put in a little cubbyhole to store items on. When I received this stand I was so pleased. Very easy to put together and attractive that I did not put it in a cubbyhole. In fact I was so please with its looks and sturdiness I purchased two more. I have one in my kitchen in front of the window with all four shelves with plants on it. One in my living room with books and picture albums on it and the third one in my craft room loaded down with wood, picture frames and all kinds of stuff. I like this so much I am purchasing some for gifts for my family.

Casio G-Shock: Bluetooth edition incoming
Casio G-Shock fans are in for a tech treat as the popular watch series is all set for a 21st century injection.
Over at the BaselWorld watch expo in Switzerland the Japanese company was showing off a Bluetooth enabled G-Shock, one that will capable of hooking up with your mobile to let you know about incoming calls, messages and alerts.
And, not just any old Bluetooth, but Bluetooth 4.0, with its low energy capabilities. Meaning your G-Shock shouldn't suffer any serious battery issues.
Plus, the watch still meets Casio's high G-Shock standards. "All of our G-Shock Premium watches have to pass the Triple 10 test," Casio designer designer Hiroaki Kubo told Wired.
"That means a 10 foot drop, 10 bar water resistance and 10 year battery life. In fact this one can withstand 20 bar water pressure.
"We use a mix of plastic resin and steel and to achieve the strength. Solar panels help to recharge the battery so you won't have to replace it, which also helps it to be more waterproof because you do not need to open it."
The Casio Bluetooth G-Shock is expected to hit the shops before 2012 comes around - discussions with smartphone manufacturers are currently ongoing.

What do Thomas Dunkin Sr. and SSPC's Industrial Painting Committee have in common? Both were mentors to Thomas M. Dunkin II, this year's SSPC Honorary Life Member.
The Life Member title, SSPC's highest honor, caps Dunkin's 50 years in industrial painting. He is a former member of SSPC's Board of Governors and executive committee and has held countless leadership roles in the organization. Still, it is the committee and his father to whom Dunkin gives the credit.
In a recent video interview with JPCL editor Karen Kapsanis at SSPC 2011, Dunkin & Bush's "TDII" discusses his mentors, his transition plans, his definition of success, and how his company went from being the smallest member of the Industrial Painting Committee to the largest.
Some Dunkinisms:
On His Dad: "He got my moral compass straightened out real early in life."
On Relationships: "Relationships are what will get you through the rough patches—'cause there always will be rough patches in your business."
On Success: "Always do the right thing."
On Transitions: "So many of us are in business, and we never think about how to get out, and we just grind it out. And one day, you get old and you didn't plan for succession."

A promise kept, a life on the farm
Relevant offers
Stuff Nation
"How about working in the Rongotea Post Office?" said my aunt Hannah. "You'd get a job easily, Pat, and then you could stay here on the farm."
I was young and careless with others' feelings. "I would stagnate at Rongotea," I said.
Mum's shocked expression told me how much that had hurt but I ignored them both.
Mum and I had moved back to the family farm in 1956, a year after Dad died. When I left school I became a Teachers' College student and was awarded a third year in Wellington, the first in the family to go to university.
Hannah had never lived anywhere but on the farm. And I didn't ask myself whether it was a life she'd have chosen.
She'd had to leave school at the tender age of 10 – she was needed to work on the farm. As she grew older, she fancied training as a hairdresser, but her mother wouldn't give her the bus money.
Her brother Bob drowned in 1928 during a family picnic at Tangimoana. He was just 18. A few years later, their father dropped dead on the farm. Hannah's mother made her promise that she would never leave, and that she'd look after her youngest brother. John had been the one to find his father's body, and he developed a stammer.
The years went on. Ted, Win and Lorna all left the farm, married, embarked on new lives in Taranaki and the Waikato. Hannah and John remained. Their mother died in 1954 but Hannah stayed true to her promise. I believe she turned down at least two marriage proposals.
My Plunket book records that she gave me my first bath. Even before I went to live there, we spent all the school holidays at Rongotea. I loved to feed the calves and soon learned to help with milking and feeding out hay.
Farm chores were fun for me, a novelty. But Hannah had no choice, and when milking was done she was washing sheets, towels and milking clothes in the old Beatty, or out grubbing thistles, fencing, chopping firewood, digging cow manure into the huge vegetable garden. She found time for an elaborate flower garden too, and would walk me around, patiently teaching me the various names. "These are gladioli, Pat, and dahlias, and over there … you know what those are?" I never did but she hid her disappointment.
Hannah was a vegetarian. As a small child she'd had to hold the lantern while her father slit the pigs' throats. That put her off meat for life. But every day she cooked meat without complaining, including a weekly roast for John and the rest of us. She baked constantly and the tins were always full. At hay making time she'd trudge off to the far paddocks with billies full of tea and endless scones. Afternoon tea saw the oak table spread with a tablecloth, plates of pikelets, buns, sponge cake. By late afternoon she'd changed her frock for milking trousers and gumboots.
Her whole life was the farm but she hankered after new horizons. On a chest in the hall were two figures, a dashing kilted man on a horse and a couple seated under a bower. They fascinated me. One of our ancestors, Hannah told me, was Chancellor of the Exchequer and he'd helped Bonnie Prince Charlie on his flights from Scotland … had these been given to him in appreciation? What a let down when it turned out that a great aunt had bought them in a Glasgow junk shop!
As a child I couldn't understand their solitary lives. I tried to match John up with Gladys over the road – she was a spinster and the right age – but it didn't work. In a Palmerston North department store one day, I watched in discomfort as Hannah tried to explain something over the counter. She was painfully shy and could hardly get the words out.
In 1961 I was at university in Wellington. One weekend a Colombo Plan student I knew said he was driving up to the Manawatu. He offered me a lift.
Hannah opened the door and I could see her embarrassment. To her, a a space alien might have been calling. My friend was jet black and she'd never seen anyone like him before.
She gathered herself together and politely invited him in. She put on the kettle and opened the cake tins. Hesitantly she tried to make conversation.
And then … I'm not sure how it happened but my friend revealed that he came from a farming family in Nigeria and was in New Zealand to study agriculture. At last Hannah was on familiar ground. Her eyes lit up, she asked him endless questions, she laughed and chatted. She could hardly bear to let him go, which of course eventually he had to do. She talked about him for years afterwards.
She was a farmer all her life, taking time off only in May when the cows were dry and John could go fishing. She never left New Zealand, in fact I don't think she left the North Island. When their hard work paid off and the farm finally made a profit, friends and neighbours invited her several times to go overseas with them. I know she'd have loved it. John tried to persuade her but no, she had promised to look after him, whether he wanted her to or not. Her hip plagued her and she was often in pain.
I took the farm for granted. Always there was endless baking, cups of tea, hot dinners, beds made up for us. As time went on, my own children rode on the dray, played in the hay barns and fed the calves. My former husband took his new fiancée there, I took all and sundry.
In January 1988 I stopped off on the way home from somewhere. For the first time ever, the farm seemed desolate, the dogs silent in their kennels. The house was eerily quiet. Later I learned that Hannah and John had driven to Hawera to a great-nephew's wedding. The ceremony was outdoors, and a great-niece asked Hannah if she'd like a chair.
"No, thank you, I'm quite alright," she said … and promptly dropped dead. No one had known she was ill.
I always knew her as Nan, and my children called her Aunty. She hated the name Hannah, and when it became newly popular in the early '80s I would send her clippings from the birth columns. She found it hard to believe that anyone would call their baby Hannah. I wish she could have known that my own first granddaughter bears her name.

Today we'll look at GrubHub (NYSE:GRUB), which just went public in April.
The company provides an online and mobile platform that connects independent restaurants across the U.S. with people ready to order for pickup or delivery.
Customers can easily search for local eateries, check the online menus, then place and track their orders through GrubHub's system.
View Enlarged Image
The company's objective is to connect local restaurants with diners in approximately 600 cities.
Key Fundamentals
Sales growth has accelerated in each of the last four quarters, with triple-digit gains in Q4 and Q1. GrubHub's earnings growth has also exceeded 100% in each of the last two quarters.
Analyst expecting annual earnings to rise 313% in 2014 and 30% next year.
The stock's Composite Rating of 75 is below the 95 or higher score you'd prefer to see, but it's not unusual for a brand-new IPO to have a relatively low grade. See if that rating continues to rise.
GrubHub's Accumulation/Distribution Rating is an A-, indicating heavy institutional buying in recent weeks. It also has a strong Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.6, another sign of demand. Since the stock's April debut, one typically better-performing fund has reported a position in the stock:Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX).
Chart Analysis
As you can see on the MarketSmith chart on this page, GrubHub is currently working on its first base.
As it was forming the bottom of the cup, it found support around the $30 mark, and had three weeks of tight closes. That laid the foundation from which the stock started to build the right side of the pattern.
Although the Relative Strength Line has slipped lower this week, it had been generally trending upward as GrubHub moved back toward its old high, a sign the stock was outperforming the overall market.
The stock has been pulling back in recent days, and may end up creating a handle. If that happens, the ideal buy point would be 39.22, 10 cents above the peak in the handle.
If the base becomes a cup-without-handle, the ideal buy point would be 40.90, 10 cents above the peak on the left.
The stock has not been trading long enough to establish either a 10-week moving average line or an average daily volume. That's a reminder of why new IPOs can be risky. There's not a lot of trading history to guide you.
But GrubHub does have many of the CAN SLIM traits you look for in a stock: An innovative service, strong earnings growth and signs of institutional demand. So watch to see if it can complete its current base and break out on heavy volume.
Stock Checkup
Stock Checkup shows that GrubHub's Computer — Integrated Systems industry group ranks a lowly 166 among the 197 groups IBD tracks.
But among its peers, GrubHub scores a Best in Group ranking for its 75 Composite Rating and A- Accumulation/Distribution Rating.
Online food delivery service provider GrubHub (NYSE:GRUB) turned in a second-quarter earnings report that topped expectations, and the company raised guidance. GrubHub, before the market opened, reported Q2 revenue of $88 million, beating the consensus estimate of $85.3 million and up 47% from the ...

"I would say this (the EA) shoot was a lot more fun, a little more down my alley," Jones said during a phone interview Friday while on a break from the shoot in New York City. "GQ had me in all types of clothes I would never wear and had me doing all types of goofy things.
"(Here) I had to do 1,000 flying knees, a 1,000 elbows and 1,000 punches — but I needed the workout and it was fun."
Electronic Arts announced Monday that Jones would be one of two fighters to grace the cover of its inaugural UFC game. Fans will vote among 16 fighters to decide the other cover spot. The honor is special for Jones, who is an avid video gamer.
"It's been surreal; sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure everything's real," Jones said. "Being a 26-year-old video game player, to have the opportunity to be on the cover of this game and to know millions of young guys around the world will be playing this game and having me on the cover of their game, it's a huge honor."
EA Sports is the leader when it comes to sports video games with top-selling franchises such as the Madden NFL football series. It released EA Sports MMA in 2010 to favorable reviews, but this is the first MMA game under the UFC banner.
Jones, who said he enjoys Madden and the Fight Night boxing games, said he has not had a chance to play an early version of the game but was impressed by recent footage. An exact release date has not yet been announced.
"This game is the closest thing you can get; ('It's in the game') is the perfect slogan because you really feel like you're in the fight," said Jones, referring to EA Sports' catchphrase. "You see muscles restricting, you see bruises occurring, hair moving and flowing through the wind, the facial expressions … I can say this game is the most realistic game in all of gaming."
While being selected to be on the cover of a video game is akin to making the cover of a Wheaties box, it has also brought a decline in production to many cover athletes — most famously with the so-called "Madden Curse" in the NFL series.
But Jones does not give too much thought to that.
"Before I won the (light-heavyweight) belt, it had been passed around," Jones said. "All the champions would lose the belt in their first title defense, and I was the first one to keep the belt in a long time. Before my last fight, Anderson Silva had lost and other champions had gone down, everyone said 'Oh Jon, what if you're next?' I refuse to give in to those superstitions."
Jones, who will defend his title against Glover Teixeira sometime next year, said he is fully healed from a brutal five-round clash with Alexander Gustafsson in September. The Swedish challenger pushed Jones more than any other fighter in the UFC before Jones won via unanimous decision.
"I feel great and I'm so glad to be past that fight," said Jones, who will begin training next week for his fight with Teixeira. "A huge mark in my career to break the (most UFC title defenses) record; such a war, and I'm grateful for the experience."

Scientists create DNA tracking tags, might soon be used to track protesters
2013-09-30 0:00
Red Ice Creations
This DNA spray product has been developed with an eye on dousing thieves and burglars in order to track and identify them later. However, used as a spray fog on groups of people such as protesters suggests that it doesnt matter whether you were peacefully protesting or breaking the law, youre going to be sprayed, tracked, identified, and rounded up either way.
More from StratRisks.com...
Scientists create DNA tracking tags, might soon be used to track protesters as well as animals
According to the tale of
Caesars last breath
, each breath we draw probably contains a few of the molecules that escaped with his last. That assumes of course, that those 1022 molecules were more-or-less uniformly mixed with the 1044 molecules in the atmosphere. When acting blind, as with the simple inert molecules in the air, this great thermal mill only homogenizes. But if purposed with more versatile actors, it becomes the universal constructor that knits order into every cell in our bodies, molecule by molecule. When instead of gases, the molecules are snippets of DNA barcodes if you will they can be used to discreetly, and unambiguously, mark almost anything. With the right molecular touch, it is possible to determine where something first came from, and where it has been.
Researchers at the University of Aveiro in Portugal are developing DNA barcode tags that can be harmlessly applied to a wide variety of products, even foods or liquids. Each tag is a unique combination of DNA base pairs that attach to most surfaces, and can later be collected, amplified, and sequenced. The power of this technique lies in the uncountable micro-matings that take place in the DNA solution where the primary goal is to determine like from unlike. Every known sequencing method has some margin of error, and the chance of false positives or false negatives exists whenever the signal to noise ratio is too low.
For example, in some schemes a DNA fog might be used to spray violent protesters when there are not enough law enforcement personnel to immediately subdue the lot of them. That tag will be unique, and mark anyone who bears it, at least for a while. Over time however, the signal will spread and degrade. Multiple tags could be used to mark multiple events or increase reliability of a single event. Clearly though, finding a way to contain your marking agent at the outset is the cleanest option.
The general concept has been around for some time, particularly as used by biologists to track and identify species. One major project, known simply as
the barcode of life
, now has over 200,000 animals cataloged in a searchable database. Since things like animals already come pre-barcoded, all one need do is find some region in their DNA that tends to mutate fast enough over time so that each species can be expected to show enough variation.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Feb. 14, 1950 u. KOLCHINSKY 2,497,674
wmnow WASHER Filed Nov. 14, 1945 frwenior's wwzifozclzmsy,
Patented Feb. 14, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE WINDOW WASHER Ushir Kolchinsky, Atlantic City, N. J.
Application November M, 1945, Serial No. 628,544
1 Claim. 1
My invention relates to new and useful window washers especially adapted for washing the outside surfaces of window panes from the inside of a building, thereby eliminating the necessity of sitting on a window sill with the body outside of the building, or being suspended on the outside of the building, or even extending a large part of the body through an open window.
An object of the invention is to provide a combined squeegee and spray head on top of a tubular handle carrying a water holding bulb.
Another object of the invention is to provide a window washer consisting of a handle having a source of water supply connected to its lower end and having a combined squeegee and spray head mounted on its upper end.
A further object of the present invention is to provide, in a window washer, a hollow head having a squeegee extending therefrom and pro vided with rows of outlet orifices vertically spaced from the squeegee.
With the above and other objects in view this invention consists of the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then designated by the claim.
In order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same I will describe its construction in detail referring by numerals to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof. in which:
Fig. 1 is a view of a window from the inside of a building or apartment showing how the washer can be used on the outside of the Window while the operator remains inside.
Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the window washer by itself.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the upper portion of the window washer.
Fig. 4 is a. fragmentary section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is a broken perspective view of a slightly modified form of the window washer.
Fig. 6 is a side view of the upper portion thereof on a reduced scale.
Fig. 7 is an enlarged section on the line |--I of Fig. 5.
In carrying out the invention as herein embodied It) represents the head of the window washer which head is a hollow elongated receptacle, preferably of general oval shape in cross section. The ends are closed by walls H and in one side is formed a slot l2 extending substantially the full length of the head receptacle. A rather stiff but pliable and flexible strip l3 of rubber or similar material is fitted in said slot to function as a squeegee.
The strip l3 seals the slot and therefore rows of outlet orifices M are provided which, preferably, are in vertical spaced relation to said squeegee, either above or below said squeegee, or both, these orifices are to be fine enough to produce a spray or small streams of liquid as indicated in Fig. 3 of the drawing.
The head 10 is mounted on top of the tubular handle it in such. a way that the bore of the latter communicates with the interior of said head and in order to strengthen the joint between said handle and head, braces [6 are suitably connected to these two parts.
On the lower end of the tubular handle I5 is detachably mounted a compressible bulb i! or equivalent liquid discharging means that can be filled with liquid to be forced through the tubular handle into the head and then distributed through the orifices onto any surface adjacent which the head is held, such as the surface of a window pane.
Where the washer is to be used on the outside of the upper sash, the spray head may be quite large, the handle can be round in cross section and the braces may protrude beyond the back of the head, as illustrated. in Figs. 2 and 4. When the apparatus is to be used on the outside surface of the lower sash, while both sashes are raised,
it is necessary to insert the spray head and a portion of the handle between the two sashes. Under conditions such as last referred to, the spray head must be small enough to pass between the lower rail of the upper sash and the pane of glass of the lower sash, for example, and therefore the head should be relatively small between the working edge of the squeegee and the back of the head receptacle, and the braces it should be located between parallel planes coincident with the front and back of the head, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6. In order to provide for a certain amount of movement of the handle within the space between the two sashes, without reducing the capacity of said handle, the latter is preferably made elliptical in cross section, as depicted in Fig. '7, with the major axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the head.
In actual practice, the bulb I1 is first filled with water or other liquid and then placed on the lower end of the handle l5. Upon raising the lower sash of a window, as shown in Fig. 1, aperson may project the washer through the open window and manipulate the device until the squeegee is close to or rests against the window pane to be washed. By squeezing the bulb, the water will be forced therefrom, through the tubular handle and spray head and out of the ori flces l4 onto the surface to be cleaned. Then by drawing downward with the squeegee in contact with the wet surface, the water and dirt will be wiped oif, leaving the surface clean. All of the above operations are accomplished by the operator merely sticking his or her hand a short distance out of the open window. This will practically elminate any chance of a person falling from a window during the washing of the outside thereof.
Of course I do not wish to be limited to the exact details of construction herein shown and described as these may be varied within the scope of the appended claim without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having described my invention what I claim as new and useful is:
A window washer comprising a hollow elongated head receptacle, oval shape in cross section and having a longitudinal slot in one side, a squeegee of non-absorbent material mounted in said slot and sealing the latter, said head receptacle having a row of outlet orifices in the head receptacle in adjacent spaced parallel relation to the squeegee, a rigid tubular handle, of appreciable length and elliptical in cross section, secured at one end to said head receptacle and communicating with the interior thereof, and a rubber bulb detachably mounted on the opposite end of said handle to hold and propel liquid therefrom through the handle to the head receptacle and thence through the outlet orifice onto the squeegee, said bulb also functioning as a handhold whereby the apparatus may be manipulated by one hand during its use.

Think about it, even now its specs are no longer top notch. People that sign up for this now are going to be in tears when they're still paying for the One when the Three is out.
I'd rather stick to my two year contract and complain to my carrier half way through my contract until they give me an early upgrade or do a "next", "jump" type program.
Ugh poor idiots at HTC. I got my G2 for about 40 bucks.
