Abstract: A device used to reclaim shower waste water for flushing toilets and watering gardens. During the course of a shower, several shallow-plastic molded reservoirs are situated intermediately between the shower basin and the feet of the person standing upon them. The top surface forms a sloped recess for collecting water and an open inlet port at the recessed end allows the water to drain into the reservoir. The weight of a person standing upon the top surface is supported by an internal array of posts projecting upwardly from the bottom surface. A dispenser is used in conjuction with an outlet to retain and release the collected water. When the full reservoir is placed in an upright position on top of a toilet set with the outlet at the lowermost position, the dispenser is manually actuated thus releasing water through the outlet with sufficient flow rate to flush the toilet. A shoulder strap and sprinkler accessory may be attached for use as a portable watering container in the garden.

Abstract: An above-ground secondary containment dispensing system for a primary tank holding liquids. The system includes a 10,000 gallon primary tank and a secondary containment unit which includes a dike surrounding the tank. In the preferred embodiment, the dike is a right parallepiped having an open top and a floor. Preferably, the dike is provided with internal support means to support the tank above the floor of the dike and an external support means to support the dike above the ground to enable the entire unit to be moved easily. A loading platform is mounted adjacent to the tank and includes both glycol and water loading arms. In the preferred embodiment, a single pump is used for both tank off-loading and to issue product to the de-icing units. Preferably, a level detector mounted in the tank is operatively associated with the pump to disable the pump when the tank is full and/or to provide an indication to a user when the tank is full.

Abstract: Condiment bottle draining baskets are housewares that allow consumers to drain up to five percent of catsup, thick salad dressing, barbecue sauce, etc. that otherwise can remain stuck in the bottom of bottles. These baskets let consumers invert and fully drain thick liquid condiment bottles so the product flows into the neck and against the inside of the cap ready for immediate use. In the preferred embodiment two baskets flex and hold small, medium, and large household size condiment bottles in an inverted position, one bottle per basket. These wide based baskets can then be placed on counters, in refrigerator doors, and on the dining table. As much as fiver percent of household thick liquid condiments can be reclaimed saving money and, ultimately, reducing the total number of containers thrown into landfills.

Abstract: A condensation tray includes a central main tray body formed from extruded polymeric/copolymeric material and includes a bottom wall and opposite upstanding side walls. The bottom wall includes inner and outer surfaces and condensation channels/chambers therebetween. A coil sitting upon the bottom wall inner surface operating in the air conditioning mode creates condensation from the ambient air within the condensation channels/chambers which collects therein, flows outwardly therefrom into one or two of opposite injection molded end caps bonded to the central main tray body. Condensate eventually passes through a discharge port of the end caps(s) to a drain, and in this manner condensation will not adversely effect the fan coil unit, its components, or the environs thereof, such as an adjacent rug, ceiling or the like.

Abstract: The waste oil collector has a catch pan supported in a cantilever manner by a pair of legs. Apertures are provided in an end wall of the catch pan to which bottles for collecting the drained oil are connected. The bottles extend outwardly at an incline and serve as a counterbalance for supporting the catch pan in the cantilever manner from the legs.

Abstract: A containment basin assembly for receipt of a tank of liquid chemical or the like is disclosed wherein a mounting stand for the tank is integral with the basin and positioned off-center therein. A bucket can be conveniently located underneath the manifold valve or other liquid dispensing conduit connected to the tank so that spilled or leaking liquid from the valve or conduit can be easily removed for proper disposal.

Abstract: A unitary injection-molded plastic refuse collection box is adapted to reduce back strain during lifting. The box has a bottom and a generally rectangular side wall. A handle extends circumferentially about the side wall external to the compartment. The handle has a uniform inverted L-shaped cross-section, the cross-sectional dimensions of the handle being sufficient to permit a person to insert his fingers between the handle and the associated side wall to the second joints of his fingers. The upper handle portion has a lowermost terminating portion defining an expanded, downwardly-facing convex surface which comfortably engages the fingers. The user can grip the handle on opposing sides of the box with one hand adjacent to one corner of the box and his other hand adjacent to a diagonally opposite corner. The bottom is configured to avoid freezing to pavement with leakage of contained liquids.

The system is charactrized by a relatively large tank having an access opening which is surrounded by a receptacle. A removable grate is provided within the receptacle over the access opening, so that articles such as oil filters may be placed in the receptacle for draining. The tank is supported relative to the ground or other flat surface by a pedestal. The system is an integral unit which may be deployed by a crane or other lifting mechanism to a desired location.

Abstract: A vault construction is provided for the storage of hazardous or polluting liquids which comprises an inner cylindrical tank for storing such liquids and an outer casing in which the inner cylindrical tank is housed. The outer casing is of two-piece construction and includes a plurality of ribs extending inwardly from the inner surface thereof in engagement with portions of the outer tank wall and defining a plurality of air spaces between the inner wall of the casing and the outer tank wall. The ribs are discontinuous at the bottom of the casing so as to define a channel along the bottom of the casing. Thus, liquid spilled during filling of the tank or liquid leaking from the tank can collect in the channel. The outer casing further includes an indicator device such as a plug of transparent material located in the bottom of the casing, for providing a visual indication that liquid has collected in the channel.

Abstract: A circular funnel apparatus for industrial use with a closeable lid able to set securely on top of a standard 55 gallon drum. This apparatus consists of four different assembled pieces:1. A funnel with a supporting circular frame body with a cylindrical extruded drain in the bottom of the funnel, able to extend down into a standard bung hole of a 55 gallon drum.2. A hinged lid fastened to the funnel frame body capable of closing off the funnel by closing the lid or by lifting and rotating the lid 165 degrees opens the funnel into which paint materials can be poured.3. Fastened to the underside of the lid (attached 90 degrees or perpendicular to the lid) is a cylindrical rod. With the lid in the closed position, the rod is exactly centered over the cylindrical drain in the bottom of the funnel.4. Fastened to the end of the cylindrical rod, opposite the end which is attached to the lid, is a circular disk that serves as a plug to the cylindrical drain in the bottom of the funnel.
