Abstract: Apparatus for dispersing solid particles in a liquid vehicle utilizing a rotor separator mounted on an agitating shaft for rotation therewith, the rotor separator including one or more filter assemblies each of which comprises a plurality of axially spaced ring discs concentrically disposed about the agitator shaft and disposed between two or more agitator discs, the ring discs being spaced apart a predetermined distance to function as a filter to separate dispersing media from the product being processed.

Abstract: An insole for a sport shoe including a foam footbed having disposed on the underside thereof a first resilient pad at the forward portion of the insole and a second resilient pad at the heel portion of the insole and including frusto-conical primary nubs formed integrally on each of the pads and a secondary nub formed on each of the primary nubs.

Abstract: A mixing machine for dispersing finely divided solid particles in a liquid vehicle including an agitator shaft, a rotor stator assembly, a plurality of stator support rods, variable flow restrictor means being associated with the stator portion and a second variable flow restrictor means being associated with the rotor stator assembly.

Abstract: A horse blanket or cover embodying a dual front closure system including (a) interlocking fabric fastener, and (b) adjustable strap so as to provide unlimited adjustment and a fixed locking feature once properly adjusted.

Abstract: A back scrubber device adapted to be mounted in a shower stall or on the wall of a bathtub including a substantially U-shaped back scrubber bar having a central portion and first and second spaced leg portions, the central portion being connectible to a wall support mounting bracket and the spaced portions of said bar being sufficiently spaced to fit a person therebetween, scrubber means attached at one end of one of the spaced leg portions and the other spaced leg portion providing a handle means, the scrubber being movable in an up and down motion to scrub a person's back through movement of the handle means by the person standing between the two spaced leg portions of the back scrubber bar.

Abstract: A vapor compression type refrigerator system which utilizes a liquid pump and an eductor to reduce compressor power conmsumption and thereby achieve exceptionally high coefficient performance values. The system is useful for air conditioning or for refrigeration in residential and commerical type buildings and is convertible to heat pump operation.

Abstract: A filtering system for water treatment including a head member having inlet and outlet ports and replaceable, disposable filter cartridge for insertion into the head member, the filter cartridge including a dual lug retaining system for retaining the filter cartridge in the head member, one of said lug retaining systems being disposed on the pressure vessel of the filter cartridge and the other of said lug retaining systems being disposed on the closure member of the filter cartridge.

Abstract: A filtering system for water treatment incorporating one or more filter assemblies each including a head member having fluid inlet and outlet ports, a replaceable filter cartridge closed at one and the other end being insertable into said head member, said head member including a manifold member and a filter cartridge supporting member operatively associated with the head member and movable relative to the manifold member between a load-unload position and an operating or running position, means for securing the filter cartridge against rotation in the filter cartridge supporting member, and seal means between the manifold member and filter cartridge supporting member for sealing off both the influent and effluent when the filter cartridge supporting member is in the load/unload position.

Abstract: A filtering system for water treatment including a head member having inlet and outlet ports and a replaceable, disposable filter cartridge for insertion into the head member, the filter cartridge including a dual lug retaining system for retaining the filter cartridge in the head member, one of said lug retaining systems being disposed on the pressure vessel of the filter cartridge and the other of said lug retaining systems being disposed on the closure member of the filter cartridge.

Abstract: A mixing machine for dispersing finely divided solid particles in a liquid vehicle including a pair of coaxially extending shafts, one shaft being longer than the other, an impeller disposed at the end of the longer shaft, and an impeller assembly connected to the shorter shaft, the impeller disposed on the longer shaft being a high speed impeller and the impeller assembly connected to the shorter shaft being a low speed impeller assembly. The low speed impeller assembly is constructed with a plurality of laterally extending arms attached to the shorter shaft and a plurality of vertically extending rods connected to the outer ends of laterally extending arms. The rods in turn each carry one of the blades or vanes of the low speed impeller. This construction allows the bearing and seal arrangement disposed between the low and high speed shafts to be at a point along the shafts where it will be substantially out of contact with product being processed.

Abstract: A filtering system for water treatment including a head member having fluid inlet and outlet ports, a bracket member adapted to be secured to stationary support means, the head member being secured to the bracket member, a disposable filter cartridge closed at one end and being equipped at its other end with a closure member, the closure member having inlet and outlet passages formed therein to communicate with the interior of said filter cartridge, the closure member portion of the filter cartridge being insertable into the head member, its inlet and outlet passages formed so as to communicate with the inlet and outlet ports in the head member, and coacting locking means formed on the head member and the bracket member to secure the filter cartridge in place during operation of the filter system and also permit easy insertion of the closure member into and withdrawal of the closure member from the head member.
