  • Patent number: 4537350
    Abstract: A Drinking Fountain attachment for a water faucet is automatically turned on when water is supplied at low pressure and low water flow rates. The assembly includes a hollow body portion between an inlet and an outlet, and the fountain outlet is connected to a central portion of the hollow body. A partition with a central opening extends across the hollow body between the outlet and the point of connection to the fountain. Valve arrangements are provided for normally closing the central passage and for opening it when the water pressure and rate of flow exceed predetermined levels. A flexible, resilient membrane or washer forms a normally open valve but is deflected to close off the connection to the fountain at the higher pressure and flow level at which the valve arrangements operate.

  • Patent number: 4354594
    Abstract: A conveyor system for moving hangers carrying clothes includes a reciprocating chain which has a number of depending fingers attached to it at regular intervals along its length. The fingers extend down and move hangers along a pipe which is mounted below the chain. As the chain is reciprocated back and forth, each of the fingers picks up a hanger and moves it forward along the pipe, and then on the backward movement in the reciprocating motion of the chain, each of the fingers slides over the hook of the hanger and moves back to pick up the next preceding hanger. The fingers are pivotally suspended from a series of plastic slides, and these slides are arranged so that they may be pushed into engagement with one another, at one end of the assembly, so that the pipe on which the clothes hangers are supported may be used for general purpose storage and the hangers may be slid in either direction on this pipe.
