Abstract: A drive for a particle screening machine or the like in which a bearing support plate is attached to two side walls of the screening machine. A stationary bearing hub is mounted on the support plate in registration with an opening through the plate, and the hub receives and supports a bearing assembly which in turn journals a rotatably driven shaft. A pair of weights are positioned on opposite sides of the stationary support plate and are eccentrically mounted adjacent opposite ends of the shaft with their centers of mass equidistant from the geometric center of the rotatable shaft. The two weights are aligned such that an axis passing through the mass centers of the weights is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

Abstract: This invention relates to a ventilated toilet system for removing obnoxious odors from the toilet bowl and includes integral vent channels formed along the base and the back inside of the water tank, and a vent adapter mounted inside the passage that directs the flow of ventilating air along the vent channels to an exhaust pipe and discharges it by a remote in-line exhaust fan to the outside atmosphere. The adapter is attached to the base of the overflow flush valve pipe or, conversely, designed to be an integral part of the overflow flush value pipe, itself, and is positioned to connect the base vent channel of the water tank to the toilet water inlet chamber of the bowl for passage of ventilating air, and to connect the overflow flush valve pipe to the water inlet chamber for passage of flush water.

Abstract: A constant flow rate controller valve includes a piston spring biased towards the top of the valve. Fluid or gas flowing into the valve increases the pressure in the chamber above the piston, forcing the piston toward a valve seat. A pin type valve stem is thus seated in the valve seat, blocking gas or fluid flow to the outlet port. The pressure in the chamber below the piston builds until the pressure in this chamber plus the piston spring force is greater than the pressure in the chamber above the piston. The piston then lifts the valve stem from the valve seat, and the pathway to the outlet orifice is opened. Fluid or gas flows through the piston via the caibrated orifice. An equilibrium flow rate is reached by variation in the piston position based on the interaction of the above gas or fluid pressures and spring force.
