Abstract: A waste water treatment and disposal system for further treating waste water effluent from a primary treatment system in which a system controller controls the operation of the system. A dosing tank accepts effluent from a primary treatment system and is evacuated on demand by a pump which is energized in response to a fluid level switch in the dosing tank. The pump forces the effluent through a filtering system to remove solid waste therefrom, and then forces a portion of the filtered effluent into a hydro-pneumatic pressure tank which, upon call, will backflush the filter to remove the trapped solids therein. The system controller will monitor the system to operate the level of the dosing tank, the operation of the pump and the various valves which control the flow throughout the system. The filtered effluent will ultimately be discharged into a disposal area by any number of well known methods.

Abstract: A construction layout marker has two marker wheels (1 and 2) positioned in tandem on a wheel frame (3) with a handle frame (6) slanted upwardly from the front marker wheel (1). The two marker wheels are positioned a select distance apart and caused to rotate equally with a rotation equalizer (20-23) to coordinate selective marking with both marker wheels. A pivot marker fork (8) in combination with a wheel position marker (45, 46) provide accurate measurement and marking from a desired starting point. Automatically adjustable roller guides (25-31) at each side provide accurate distancing from edges (24) of surfaces (14) being marked. A brake (32) operated from the handle frame (6) holds the tandem marker wheels in fixed marker relationship for transferring marking indicia to parallel or offset construction surfaces and members. Non-slip surfaces (54) for different types of construction materials are positional on the marker wheels. Ink cartridges with felt marker edges are positional in each wheel.

Abstract: A metal demolition shear has a pivotal axle (4) with threading means (34, 35, 48, 42, 90, 92, 104) at opposite ends for adjusting linear positioning of thrust bearings (25, 26, 55, 56, 64) in order to adjust closeness of a pivotal jaw (1) to a stationary cutter jaw (2) of a demolition shear. A bolt-on replaceable cutter tip (14) is positional on a distal end of the pivotal jaw (1) in slidable contact with an adjustable wear surface (17) on a distal side of the stationary cutter jaw (2). Replaceable cutter blades and steady rest surfaces (17) are positional conveniently on the stationary cutter jaw in selective relationship to the bolt-on replaceable cutter tip (14). A steady rest bearing (19, 57) is extendable from the pivotal jaw and adjustably positional in slidable contact with a surface of the stationary cutter jaw. Roller bearings (25, 26, 64) are provided optionally for decreasing friction workload and for increasing use life.

The tag comprises a box-like shaped member of relatively thin dimensions having paired resilient gripping pegs within the hollow interior of the tag which are designed to accept golf tees for retention therein and allowing easy removal by the user, and further provides a transparent window having a slot to allow the user to slip an identification card under the transparent window.

Abstract: A golf bag rain cover is provided in the form of an envelope that is open at a bottom edge and has a closed top-edge roof. An access surface is provided with at least one access slot parallel to the roof and positioned a select distance below the roof. An access flap is attached above the slot and allowed to hang down over the access slot to a position below the slot. A quick-disconnect fastener is provided for attaching the access flap to the golf bag rain cover below the access slot. Attachment means, which can be quick-disconnect fasteners, are provided at sides and at an attachment surface of the golf bag rain cover for attachment to framework of a golf car. Typically there are two access slots with access flaps for two golf bags side-by-side on back of a golf car.

Abstract: A disposable plastic bottle used to contain fluid substances having an integral, flexible funnel spout, with sealable opening, featuring an external air vent integrally formed into the mouth of the spout suitable for accurately transferring fluids through tight filler openings which would ordinarily require the use of a separate funnel or spout. When the mouth of the spout is snugly inserted into a receptacle, the external air vent will provide a direct air passage to the contents of the bottle allowing the liquid to flow smoothly without restriction. The spout is integrally formed atop the bottle and comprises a plurality of bellows like ribs. Such ribs have a thinner cross-sectional wall than the side walls of the container body. This permits the spout to be flexed, enabling the ribs to collapse over-center and fold, allowing the spout to retain the flexed condition without external assistance, thereby creating a self latching feature.

Abstract: An electrical connector designed to fit about the contact pins of a fluorescent lamp and to supply electric power to a small electric motor of animated display purposes. The connector is of thin elongated construction having one end thereof which is bifurcated to allow the connector to be placed about the lamp contact pins. Electrodes contained within the bifurcated portion contact the lamp pins and supply power to the motor.

Abstract: A detent clip adapted to fit around the edge of a door and positioned so that the clip prevents the swinging movement of a real estate lockbox attached to the handle of the door. The clip comprises a substantially U-shaped member, one leg of which has a projecting portion to bear against the lockbox thereby deterring its swinging movement when the door is opened or closed.
