  • In-floor swimming pool nozzle housing with outer beveled edge
    Patent number: 10604955
    Abstract: A housing for an in-floor swimming pool cleaning nozzle includes a first end with connection lugs configured to receive and engage corresponding lugs on an in-floor swimming pool nozzle, and a second end with a wall extending axially with a leading edge having a thickness that narrows from the leading edge toward a ledge. The thickness narrows due to a beveled outer surface of the wall and presents a smaller leading edge that shows less than a non-beveled leading edge when placed in a floor of a swimming pool.

  • Heating and cooling unit
    Patent number: 6223545
    Abstract: An apparatus for maintaining an enclosed space proximate a selected comfort level, and for conserving utilities, the apparatus comprising a housing in communicating relation with the enclosed space and the external environment and having an evaporative cooler for cooling the enclosed space and having a predetermined operating efficiency, and a spaced apart air conditioner for either selectively cooling or heating the enclosed space, having a baffle that restricts airflow to the air conditioner and an operating efficiency different from the evaporative cooler, and a control mechanism for automatically and selectively switching back and forth from operation of the evaporative cooler to the air conditioner in response to ambient conditions of the external environment and the operating efficiencies of the evaporative cooler and the air conditioner.
