Abstract: A sudser unit having an entry port, discharge port, and a fluid conduit. The discharge port and fluid conduit extend along a common longitudinal axis, and the entry port extends along a longitudinal axis that intersects the longitudinal axis of the discharge port and fluid conduit at an oblique angle. A water supply, such as a hose, is operably connected to the entry port. A converging nozzle having an opening of smaller diameter than that of the entry port is attached to the discharge port, and a detergent reservoir is attached to the fluid conduit. A valve is disposed between the reservoir and fluid conduit. A valve is disposed between the reservoir and fluid conduit to permit selective mixing of the water and detergent, and selective metering of the mixed composition.

Abstract: An improved continuous positive airway pressure therapy device including a ring orifice through which compressed air or oxygen is introduced to effectively amplify the air flow to the patient by drawing ambient air into the device inlet for maintaining a continuous positive pressure of a patient's lungs during all portions of the breathing cycle.

Abstract: An over-center ejector blade retaining system which automatically locks the ejector blade in a loading position when the ejector blade has been retracted into the load position by operation of the hydraulic cylinder or ram to which it is attached. Movement of the ejector blade into the load position rotates a lock plate attached to the vehicle body into engagement with a locking roller attached to the ejector blade thereby compressing a spring attached to the lock plate. Upon movement of the connection between the lock plate and the spring over the center of rotation of the lock plate, the compressive force on the spring is released and the ejector blade held in the load position. When the ejector blade is moved from the load position to discharge materials, the process is reversed and the lock plate held in an open position for again receiving the locking rollers upon the return of the ejector blade to the load position.

Abstract: An improved incentive spirometer having a modular goal recording counter (GRC) releasably attached thereto for enabling a patient to view the number of times a predetermined respiratory therapy inhalation exercise has been properly performed. The GRC also includes a coaching lamp to facilitate the patient's maintaining the desired flow rate of inspiratory air for a predetermined time period. The GRC is operational in one mode to initiate a count of the number of successful exercise completions beginning with “0”, and in another operational mode to retain and recall the count of the number of successful exercises previously completed. The operation of the GRC is controlled by a microcontroller which controls the operation of the GRC and the electrical circuit connected thereto is designed to minimize the power requirements of the components when the GRC is placed in the retain and recall mode of operation.

Abstract: A selectively controlled heat retaining dog house comprised of a standard framing structure in which variably sized, modular housing inserts may be positioned. Each of the housing inserts have essentially the same exterior length and width dimensions so as to properly fit within the framing structure. The interior dimensions, however, vary so as to provide a plurality of differently sized rooms which can be employed throughout the year. As the less space a dog has inside his or her house, the more heat is retained, having the option of changing the amount of space a given dog has in his or her house permits the dog's master to selectively control the temperature of the dog's house.

Abstract: A conventional flashlight is adapted for use as a circuit continuity tester. The flashlight has the usual hollow body containing the batteries, a bulb having one contact in communication with the positive battery terminal and the other contact connected, through an on-off switch, to a conducting, exterior portion of the flashlight, and thence to a conducting spring which completes the circuit to the negative battery terminal. The flashlight is modified by providing a passageway through the end cap which threads to the lower end of the body, passing a wire through the passageway, and soldering one end of the wire to a metal washer having a plastic coating on one side and the other end to a metal pocket clip which detachably connects to the body. The washer is placed in contact with the negative battery terminal with the plastic layer insulating the washer from contact with the spring.

Abstract: An adapter for mounting multiple 3-phrase circuits to a utility pole. The adapter includes a base unit having a centrally positioned, female socket member, and three, angularly offset legs extending radially outwardly from the bottom of the socket member. Each of the three legs include bottom surfaces extending in a common plane, so as to permit the base unit to be securely attached to a standard cross-arm assembly by passing fasteners through holes formed through each of the legs. A candlestick holder includes a male socket member which is securely positioned within the base unit's female socket member, and further includes three angularly offset, bored holes for receiving three candle sticks therein. By mounting the base unit to the end of a cross-arm assembly and attaching the candle stick holder to the base unit, a 3-phrase circuit can be assembled in minimal space on a utility pole.

Abstract: A golf bag canopy adapted to be mounted to a golf cart roof, and particularly to the rear edge of a golf cart roof. The canopy assembly essentially includes an elongated awning track, a pair of J-bar frame members, one of which is attached to either end of the awning track, a U-shaped bow frame member attached to the ends of each J-bar for pivotal movement with respect thereto, and a pliable cover having a leading edge securely attached to the awning track and a body draped over and supported by the U-shaped bow. By pivotally moving the U-shaped bow between its terminal positions, the cover correspondingly moves between covered and uncovered relation to the golf bag compartment of a golf cart. The cover may be positioned in covered relation relative to the golf bag cover during times of inclement weather, or may be positioned in uncovered relation relative to the golf bag compartment when accessing a club.
