Abstract: An amusement device adapted to be mounted to a bicycle or other velocipede designed to promote enjoyment and safty. The amusement device has a fluid reservoir, a pump driven by the velocipede wheel for removing fluid from the reservoir, a conduit for conveying water from the pump to an exit nozzle and a helmet adapted to be worn by the rider of the velocipede to which the nozzle can be attached.

Abstract: A hospital room humidification system operated from an outside source of pressurized oxygen and/or other gas for increasing the humidity of the ambient air in the room. The humidification system includes a collapsible bag for containing a quantity of water in a condition sealed from the environment of the room, an atomizing nozzle formed with separate liquid and gas passageways, a first adapter for coupling the atomizing nozzle to the water containing bag, and a second adapter for selectively coupling the atomizing nozzle to the outside pressurized gas source. The atomizing nozzle is operable for causing the pressurized gas flow discharging from the air passageway to break the flow of liquid discharging from the liquid passageway into fine liquid particles and to directly dispense such particles into the air of the room in the form of a mist and in a manner which significantly increases the humidity of the ambient air in the room.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing a water treating composition into the recirculating water of an evaporative system, such as an evaporative cooler. The water treating composition is contained in a container that is suspended in an inverted condition within the housing of the evaporative cooler with the outlet of the container facing downwardly. One end of a drip line is connected through a sealed closure to the interior of the container, and the opposite end of the drip line terminates above the level of water in the reservoir of the evaporative cooler. A manually adjustable needle valve is connected in the drip line and controls the gravity feed of the liquid composition through the drip line to the reservoir. Through the addition of the treating composition, scaling problems in the evaporative system are minimized, corrosion is eliminated and growth of bacteria and algae is inhibited.

Abstract: A detachable shoe accessory for dispensing lure directly onto the ground for attracting animals or camouflaging one's own scent. It consists of a container from which deer lure or other scent camouflaging liquid is gradually dispensed onto an elongated, flexible, absorbent applicator, which is drug along the ground during walking activity, thereby leaving a scented trail along one's path.

Abstract: A modular water spraying device for an ice making machine including a vertically extending freezing plate having an evaporator of the freezing system on its one surface and a plurality of hollow, vertically extending, spaced guide ribs on its other surface, and a water distributor disposed above the top of the freezing plate and provided with a plurality of water distributing apertures is disclosed. The modular water spraying device comprises a spray water guide member adapted to be removably mounted to the top of said freezing plate.

Abstract: Improved water distribution troughs are disclosed for use in the cooler pad assemblies of evaporative coolers. The troughs are provided with a primary channel and at least one secondary channel both of which are coextensive in a side-by-side relationship longitudinally of the trough and both are provided with multiple water outlets. The coextending plural channels provided in the troughs results in improved water distribution capabilities so that they can be used to overcome the water distribution problems of the large cooler pad assemblies used in industrial size evaporative coolers. The troughs can also be used in the relatively small pad assemblies of residential size evaporative coolers with such use providing overflow protection in the event of restricted water outlet flow resulting from mineral deposition and the like.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for dissemination of a spray substance comprising small liquid or solid particles or a jet stream and projecting it over large distances from the device. The apparatus comprises either conventional ejectors or jet diffuser ejectors including means for introduction of liquid or solid spray substances into various regions of the ejector to provide a capability for handling substances of various physical and chemical characteristics.

Abstract: A liquid weed killer dispenser is disclosed. The dispenser is adapted to be mounted on and disposed about a pole such as a telephone or telegraph pole. The dispenser includes a box-like holder for water and a weed killer which is dispersible in the water. The holder has a recessed top which defines a rain water receiving perforated tray through which the rain water can flow into the holder. The top is readily removable from the holder. Weed killer containers, such as bags, are disposed in the holder. The containers are connected to the top so as to be removable with it from the holder and readily replaceable. The dispenser also includes a liquid distributor which includes a pair of tubes.

Abstract: A dual purpose sprayer and spreader device capable of selectively distributing either granular or liquid material upon the ground being traversed. The device includes a hopper supported for travel over the ground, the hopper having a discharge opening in the bottom thereof through which granular material from the hopper falls by gravity onto a rotary impeller which throws the material laterally, the impeller being driven by the ground wheels. To distribute a liquid, a container of liquid, (such as a flexible bag) is inserted in the hopper, the bag having a dispensing tube extending from the lower end thereof, which tube extends through the discharge opening at the bottom of the hopper. The hopper is also provided with a slidable gate which controls the size of the discharge opening from fully open to fully closed and when the tube extends therethrough, the gate functions as a valve for opening and closing the tube.

Abstract: The specification discloses a dispenser for automatically mixing controlled amounts of liquid additive to the shower water. The dispenser is attachable to the water inlet pipe of an ordinary shower head and includes a plastic refillable container for holding the liquid additive and dispensing it under the flow of gravity. A valve is positioned over the mouth of the receptacle for controlling the flow of liquid additive. A dispensing tube assembly communicates with the valve for allowing liquid additive to flow by gravity to a portion of the dispensing tube extending subjacent the nozzles of the shower head. A first series of discharge openings along the bottom portion of the dispensing tube assembly drips a continuous flow of liquid additive into the stream of shower water after it exits from the nozzle.

Abstract: A liquid application for treating posts, etc. has a plastic support panel to which a flexible plastic sheet is bonded along side and bottom portions to define a pouch in which liquid is contained for discharge through openings in the flexible plastic sheet to flow downwardly onto the surface of the post or other member on which the device is positioned; in a second embodiment, a plurality of pouch members are formed from a unitary flexible sheet bonded to an elongated support panel which is capable of being rolled or otherwise stored and cut to length for use in completely encircling posts, trees or the like for slowly applying liquid thereto.

Abstract: A gun for forming a jet of particulate material and liquid comprises a body having a tapering bore therein connected by its longer end to a supply of fluidized particulate material and communicating by its other end with an opening in the body through which a tapering jet of fluidized particulate material will issue, and a pair of jet forming means for forming opposed jets of high pressure liquid which will converge and intersect beyond the body and in the path of the jet of particulate material to form a high energy jet of particulate material and liquid.
