Abstract: A device and system for purifying a fluid is provided. The system includes a tank having an interior space and a media container disposed within the interior space. A valve is provided that cooperates with an element within the interior, the valve being movable between an open and a closed position. The valve being biased to the open position when the element is not positioned within the interior space, wherein the interior space is fluidly coupled to the atmosphere in the open position. The valve further being configured to move to a closed position when the element is positioned within the interior space.

Abstract: The candle uses wax beads produced using existing equipment. The wax beads are transported to a bead hopper and the bead hopper deposits a volume of wax beads into jars prepared with a wick. Concurrently the jars are vibrated using a continuous vibratory motor to settle the wax beads for increased wax bead density. The filled jars are then transported to an in-container wax bead compression system where an automated plunging device compresses the wax beads. Jars are then transported by in-line conveyor to a wide conveyor. The jars are then filled at a liquid wax depositing station where the wax has been heated to its melting point and deposited into the jar to fill the void left by the in-container wax bead Compression system. The filled candle is then cooled to solidification. The finished candle is then ready for packing, distribution, sale, and use.

Abstract: A container is provided to hold and display a group of fragile articles, such as candles. The container comprises an open-topped box having a rectangular bottom and upright front, back and end walls. Each of the end walls has an upwardly projecting extension the width of which is substantially one-half that of the end wall. One of these upward extensions is adjacent to the front wall and the other is adjacent to the rear wall. The inner edges of these extensions are joined to the opposite edges of a partition wall that lies in a plane parallel to and midway between the front and back of the box. The upward extensions and the partition thus cooperate to form a pair of back-to-back vertical compartments above the top of the box, each having a back formed by the partition wall and one side formed by one of the extensions. Articles set vertically into the box have their upper portions received in the vertical compartments to be supported thereby in upright arrangement exposed to view and to inspection.

Abstract: A process for dyeing the shells of eggs by applying a dry granular dyeing medium to the hydrated shell. The dyeing medium includes dye and rock salt. The shell may be wetted in whole or in part prior to applying the dyeing medium with water or vinegar. The process may be done in a plastic bag or by sprinkling the dyeing medium onto the wetted shell.

Abstract: A greeting card which includes a folding, three-dimensional hanging ornament that can be punched out of panels of the card while the greeting itself can be separated for reference and saving, and the ornament may be hung for decorative purposes. The combination provides an attractive remembrance and combines the usefulness of a three-dimensional decoration and with the ability to preserve the greeting in card form.

Abstract: A greeting card which includes an ornament that can be folded into a three-dimensional bird cage, with small paper board birds that protrude partly from the sides, and which card can include a separate panel for containing a greeting that may be separated from the other panels in which the bird cage is contained as a punch out ornament. The combination provides an attractive three-dimensional ornament that can be used for hanging in appropriate places, as well as a remembrance type card.

Abstract: A greeting card includes a three dimensional hanging ornament comprising a star-like configuration that is erected in a unique manner after it has been punched out from the card. The card is oriented to provide a greeting message on one panel, which can be removed for keeping, while the other panels form the punched out star and can be erected into a hanging ornament.
