  • Publication number: 20070246628
    Abstract: A detachable and non-damaging hanger assembly for use with vertical support structures located either inside or outside a building. The hanger assembly comprises a central bracket having means for removable attachment a support structure with easily removable rod-like hanger members or arms extending upwardly, downwardly, or both, from the central bracket. The members or arms extending outwardly, preferably in a curved manner, from the support structure and have on the outer ends of the arms means for hanging decorative or useful items. The method consists of attaching the central bracket to a vertical support structure by means of an adjustable belt that extends around the circumference of the support structure. With the central bracket attached to the support structure one end of the rod members is then telescopically engaged in a perforation formed in the central bracket so that the rod members are releasably held by the central bracket.

  • Publication number: 20050189276
    Abstract: A perforated vessel, which holds solid water sanitizing material (usually chlorine tablets) that dissolves in water. The vessel is coupled to the water supply hose of an automatic swimming pool cleaner. The football-like shape of the vessel and the coupling to the pool cleaner hose assures the movement of the vessel around the pool, without hose entanglement, as the pool cleaner moves about the pool. Sanitizer is thereby distributed within the pool water more evenly and more rapidly than is accomplished by commonly used free floating chlorinators.

  • Patent number: 4139455
    Abstract: This invention provides a method of concentrating a metaliferous ore containing also substantial quantities of pyrites and/or pyrrhotite and/or sphalerite and comprises subjecting an aqueous pulp of the ore to a froth flotation process in the presence of a depressant and in which (1) pyrites and/or pyrrhotite, and/or (2) sphalerite, is depressed by using as the depressant an amine in which at least 20% of the total number of amine groups are tertiary amine groups and in which the number of quaternary amine groups present is zero or is less than one-third the number of tertiary amine groups.

  • Patent number: 4078993
    Abstract: A method of concentrating a metalliferous ore containing also substantial quantities of pyrites and/or pyrrhotite and/or sphalerite and comprises subjecting an aqueous pulp of the ore to a froth flotation process in the presence of a depressant and in which (1) pyrites and/or pyrrhotite, and/or (2) sphalerite, is depressed by using as the depressant a condensation product of an aldehyde with a compound containing at least two amine or amide groups.
