Abstract: A pool aerator for pools with water recirculation circuit includes a hemispherical body and an atmospheric air intake pipe. The body of the aerator includes a rounded plastic object, having in the middle area a cylindrical portion, and at one end with a connecting means to the pool nozzle. The middle portion of the aerator body continues with a hemispherical dome. A Venturi tube made in the form of two intersected frustoconical spaces is positioned in the hemispherical dome. One of the intersected frustoconical spaces functions as an inlet and the other for mixing and discharging water mixed with air. The two axes of the intersected frustoconical spaces form an angle (?) between 10 and 20 degrees. The mixing hole communicates with a vertical cylindrical hole, in which the intake pipe is inserted by sliding, until the inner wall of the frustoconical hole is reached.

Abstract: A sink that includes a door that is positioned to visually obscure the drain, wherein the door can be opened by the user to access the drain when needed. The door includes a door adjustment mechanism that can allow for the door to be opened by a user and then held open without requiring user intervention. The door adjustment mechanism can also be configured to release the door and allow it to close through the actions of the user. In one or more examples, the door can be positioned so that a gap exists between an edge of the door and a basin portion of the sink. The gap can be large enough to allow for water to flow from the basin of the sink to the drain, but small enough to allow for the drain to be visually obscured.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of sinks. More specifically, the present invention relates to an inflatable sink device that is comprised of a body, further primarily comprised of a top tank, a bottom tank, a sink basin, an air pump, a battery, a water pump, and a faucet.

Abstract: A Cover Box toilet accessory that contributes to preventive medicine, improves global health, reduces the spread of diseases, and fights the environmental pollution caused by the emission of infectious and polluting bioaerosols during toilet flushing. The Cover Box is designed to fit over the Water Flushing Button of a conventional toilet and includes a Fixed Base and a Sliding Top with transparent or translucent parts. The Fixed Base includes Fitting Guides and a tension spring. By obstructing the direct access to the Water Flushing Button, this Cover Box forces the user to close the toilet lid before flushing, since the movement of the Sliding Top to reveal the button also indirectly closes the toilet lid, reducing the emission of bioaerosols that can spread diseases and cause environmental pollution. The system has a high global impact and can be used in various settings, having a significant impact on public health.
