Abstract: Process for uniformizing the temperature of a liquid coming from a conduit with a constant total flow rate (Qtot), said temperature having a periodic trend in time defined by a first waveform, in which a tank (100) is provided, defining a longitudinal axis, having a lower zone (11) and an upper zone (12), and provided with at least two inlets arranged in a succession between the lower zone (11) and the upper zone (12), with a first inlet (1) proximal to the upper zone (12) and an n-th inlet (n) proximal to the lower zone (11), and provided with at least one outlet (9) arranged between the first inlet (1) and the upper zone (12), and wherein each inlet is arranged at a predetermined distance from the next one along said longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A pet wash tub includes a funnel-type hair-diverter arrangement established at all corners near the drain, to slope from the front and sides of the tub, angled downwardly towards the drain. The tub is located inside a pet wash station, which includes a wash room and an equipment room. Specifically, the tub is located in the wash room that includes a floor with a slope that acts to rinse water spilled onto the floor under an opening under a dividing wall between the wash room and the equipment room. A collection trough is located in the equipment room to collect the water as it drains from the wash room. Further, the equipment room includes a control panel and hose extensions for air and washing water/soap such that a user can activate the various systems depending on preference while washing a pet.

Abstract: A pet wash station is provided that includes a wash room with a pet wash tub and a flexible spray hose to enable washing a pet in the tub. The tub drains into a collection trough in the floor of an equipment room. The equipment room and wash room share a common wall. The wash room floor extends under the common wall into the equipment room. The wash room floor drains towards the common wall, through a space between the wash room floor and the common wall, and into the trough in the equipment room floor.

Abstract: A pet bathing unit comprising a container for supporting a pet therein, the container having a base and at least one sidewall extending therefrom, a fluid conduit having at least one fluid jet nozzle extending therefrom and located proximal the base to provide for a steady fluid stream along the base of the container to clean the underside of the pet, a drain unit located on the base of the container to provide a path from the container to a sanitation outlet for the movement of fluids and particles therethrough, at least one pet supporting surface extending from the base, and a set of channels extending along the base of the container between the at least one fluid jet nozzle and the drain unit.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for restraining an animal and/or washing and/or grooming an animal are provided. The animal is placed on the lid of a container to allow a person to wash and/or groom the animal. The container may also store materials used in restraining and/or washing and/or grooming the animal. During use, water and/or other cleaning fluids used in washing and/or grooming of the animal exit through a drain and/or numerous holes on the surface of the lid of the container and enter an interior of the container. The container may further trap hair, fur and/or other materials removed from the animal within the interior of the container.

Abstract: A transportable animal washing apparatus includes a base member having a bottom surface and an open top end portion and an integrally disposed outer wall extending upwardly from the bottom surface. The base member is provided with a plurality of drainage holes spaced adjacent the bottom surface and further includes a plurality of drainage plugs removably insertable into the drain holes. The outer wall includes a plurality of apertures formed therein wherein the apertures are situated above the drainage holes. A cover is removably positionable on top of the open top end portion and is provided with an opening formed adjacent a front end portion thereof such that an animal's head can pass outwardly therethrough. The apparatus further includes a protective mechanism for isolating a care giver's hands from water and the animal fur while the care giver is washing the animal.

Abstract: A small animal bathing apparatus includes a portable enclosure having a floor, a front wall, a rear wall that is taller than the front wall and a pair of side walls, each wall having an upper edge. One or more drain openings is provided in the floor. One or more hangers are secured to the rear wall at an elevation above the upper edge of the front wall. One or more animal harnesses (each connected to a hanger) are provided that enable an animal that is to be bathed to be secured to the enclosure, preferably to the rear wall.

Abstract: An animal bath including a container for holding bathwater and having an open top portion in which an animal can be placed and having a lid for sealing the open top portion of the container. A first opening in the lid permits the head of an animal to project outside the sealed container and a second opening in the lid enables the person bathing the animal to extend an arm into the container.

Abstract: A bovine teat sanitizer includes a gun-like grip handle, trigger mechanism and control poppet valve connected to a pressurized sanitizing fluid supply. A fixed in-line teat cup sized to receive a predetermined volume of fluid from a proportioning valve sufficient for treating four teats of the bovine is connected to the handle. A toroidal overflow chamber receives displaced fluid from the cup when the cup captures and essentially seals a teat thus forcing sanitizing fluid into the teat strep canal and epidermis. The cup is lowered and displaced fluid from the overflow chamber returns to the cup cavity by gravity for use on the second and succeeding teats. A splash guard and teat guide snaps onto the cup and forms the chamber top and inner sides.
