  • Patent number: 4228000
    Abstract: A water treatment device of the type which automatically regenerates itself at predetermined intervals is provided with a special disinfectant feeder device which dispenses a predetermined amount of disinfectant into the water treating media bed and the device itself to kill the bacteria therein. The disinfectant is dispensed at a predetermined time during the regeneration cycle so that subsequent to its bactericidal action all traces of the disinfectant will be flushed from the treatment device prior to the completion of the regeneration cycle.

  • Patent number: 4210065
    Abstract: A two position slide valve has an inlet port connected to a source of fluid under pressure and is configured so that in one position it will load the fluid into a pressure operated device and in the other position it will evacuate the loaded fluid from the device by passing the fluid from the source through a venturi which reduces the static pressure at the outlet port of the valve.

  • Patent number: 4204714
    Abstract: A machine for opening the joints and random cracks in pavement preparatory to placement of a filler-sealer material therein. The machine includes an open carriage having an opposed pair of side wheels and a shroud mounted in the carriage intermediate the side wheels. A cutter wheel is journaled in the shroud for rotation about a horizontal axis, and the cutter wheel is driven by an engine mounted atop the shroud. The shroud is pivotably coupled to the carriage for raising and lowering of the cutter wheel by moving the axis of the cutter wheel in an arc which passes through the axis of the carriage wheels.

  • Patent number: 4192832
    Abstract: A pump, siphon drain valve and float controlled water inlet valve are located in a comparatively small water supply tank which is mounted below an opening formed in the floor pan of an evaporative cooler to locate the cooler's water supply externally of its cabinet and are operative to recirculatingly supply water to the cooler and receive the returning water. The water, which increases in mineral concentration during such recirculation, is periodically drained from the tank by shutting off the pump so that the returning water will elevate the water level in the tank to prime the siphon drain valve. When the pump and water inlet supply are both shut off, the tank completely drains, and when the pump alone is shut off, tank draining, flushing and refilling is accomplished.

  • Patent number: 4186540
    Abstract: Cementitious building blocks having upstanding male projections on one planar surface so as to be disposed in a particular geometric array which locates the projections in the corners of passages extending through the blocks. The projections are supported on corner corbels which carry corner spanning shelves which extend inwardly into the passages so as to locate the projections in alignment with the open corners at the opposite ends of the passages. The open corners and aligned male projections allow self-aligning stacked interlocking mortarless assembly of a plurality of such blocks for the construction of buildings, walls and the like.

  • Patent number: 4179047
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlled dissolution and dispensing of a water treatment chemical including a chemical chamber disposed above a humidity chamber through which water flows at a controlled rate. A metering device controls the migration of moisture into the chemical chamber for dissolution of the chemical and for feeding of the chemical into the water passing through the humidity chamber. The water/chemical solution exiting from the humidity chamber enters into a settling chamber and is then directed to the water supply.
