Abstract: A cemetery monument illuminator includes a lamp hood, at least one lamp partially enclosed by the lamp hood, a monument clamp fixed to the lamp hood, a solar panel attached to the monument clamp, and electronic circuit elements electrically connected to the at least one lamp and the solar panel, with the electronic circuit elements adapted and arranged to store energy generated by the solar panel, sense darkness exterior to the illuminator, and supply energy to the at least one lamp when darkness is sensed.
Abstract: A compact evaporation apparatus includes an evaporator vessel with a sloped, bottom chamber. A combustion chamber is mounted to a top of the vessel, with a burner mounted to a top of the combustion chamber, the combustion chamber sized to achieve total combustion of an air/gas mixture supplied to the burner before being released below a liquid surface in the vessel. At least one turbulence diverter plate is located within the vessel beneath the liquid surface, the diverter plate being a submerged perforated plate extending horizontally from the combustion chamber, such that hot combustion gasses are released below the diverter plate, and as large gas bubbles rise to the surface they pass through small perforations in the diverter plate, thereby breaking large, hot gas bubbles into small bubbles, the gas to liquid contact area being maximized to increase system efficiency.
Abstract: A clipboard has a clip with upper and lower parts joined by a hinge. The lower part includes a locking wall and spaced-apart hold-down edges. The board has at least one upstanding lock element engaged with the locking wall on the lower part of the clip. The board includes grips engaged with the hold-down edges of the lower part of the clip.
Abstract: A vibrating fishing rod has a vibratory module mounted within a handle cavity of the fishing rod. The vibratory module is accessible through an end opening defined by end edges of the handle cavity. A switch is located in the fore grip, and an electric motor and eccentric weight in the vibratory module are activated in response to actuation of the switch.
Abstract: A delivery receptacle has an upper compartment having a greater depth dimension than the lower compartment, with back walls of the upper and lower compartments being substantially aligned, such that the upper compartment has an extended front section with respect to a front wall of the lower compartment to permit a bricked-in installation of the receptacle.

Abstract: A tortilla stack indexer (10) having an exit conveyor (12) which has a exit conveyor motor (12A) engagably attached thereto. At least two transverse conveyors are in a side-by-side parallel configuration at a perpendicular position to the exit conveyor (12) positioned at a rear distal end adjacent thereto. Each of the at least two transverse conveyors includes a transverse conveyor roller positioned at front end. A stacker conveyor positioned adjacent to the front end of the at least two transverse conveyors having a stacker conveyor roller positioned at rear end. A drive interrupter is engagably positioned between the transverse conveyor roller and the stacker conveyor roller. An electric eye securely mounted under the least two transverse conveyors controls the drive interrupter to prevent collisions of stacks of tortillas on the exit conveyor.
Abstract: A delivery receptacle has a divider wall between the upper and lower compartments, a divider wall opening selectively sealed by two inner pivotable panels, outer side edges of the inner pivotable panels being connected by spring-loaded hinges to a side edges of the divider wall opening for movement about the hinges between normally closed and forcibly-opened positions, and the outer side edges of the inner pivotable panels and the side edges of the divider wall opening being perpendicular to the upper compartment opening.
