Abstract: The tubular trash net is a cleaning and collecting device for pre-treatment of sewage, where the water which is to be separated from waste trash materials is led through a collecting net (8), after which the net (8) containing the separated trash is drawn through mechanically-driven rollers (10) which simultaneously de-water the trash prior to its being conveyed, together with the used net (8), to a container for disposal, while runoff pre-treated water is sent on for either further treatment or deep-water outfall.

Abstract: Claimed is an illuminated globe which is fully rotational about its axis. A translucent globe is slidably and rotatably mounted on an axial support pin and rests on a bearing surface. The axial support pin and the globe base are a unitary assembly. A lamp socket is affixed to the top of the support pin and the wiring is passed through the center of the support pin and exits through the side of the base.

Abstract: Device for use with a typewriter having manual half back space lever to permit making bold face characters. When bold face typing is desired, the device is removably secured to the typewriter, adjacent to the half-space lever, to permit incremental adjustment of the lever and typewriter carriage. By proper adjustment of the lever with the device, restruck characters can be made to have the appearance of bold face.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for dyeing carpets and the like in random patterns and multiple colors. Dye is applied in liquid streams from troughs having rollers and doctor blade scrapers. The troughs are arranged in pairs along the path of carpet movement, one trough in each pair being above the other trough of the pair. Dye streams from the pairs of troughs are broken up into droplets before contacting the carpet in such a way as to prevent substantial mixing of the streams prior to contact with the carpet. The particular arrangement of the trough pairs and dye streams results in a dyed carpet of high quality at a substantial savings in equipment cost and quantity of dye used.
