Abstract: This pump clamp adapter allow an individual who has a can or a pail that has a spout with a annular rim around the opening to be used with a safety pump. The adapter is created out of two semi-circular disk. Around the outer edge of the semi-circular disk on its bottom is a ridge. When the two semi-circular disks are placed together to form a cylindrical disk the ridge forms an annular recess underneath the disk. This annular recess fit over the annular rim adapter on the can. On the bottom of the ridge are three wedge shaped feet. These wedge shaped feet are designed to scratch through the paint on the top of the can and make contact with the metal below said paint. A semi-circular's cut out is formed in the center of the straight side of the semi-circular's disk. When the two semi-circular's disks are placed together, the semi-circular's cut out will form a bore in the center of the cylindrical disk of sufficient size so that a pump can be placed through the bore.

Abstract: This invention is a window security guard that can be mounted by a do it yourself individual in a window. The security guard is designed so that it can be decorated to meet the decor of the room where it is placed. The security guard has a collapsible grill that is placed in the window to keep burglars from entering the home. The grill is collapsible so that the security guard can easily be pushed aside and a person can escape through the window in times of emergency. The collapsible grill is attached to a mounting member that has a rectangular box-like shape that can be easily bolted to the wall at the side of the window. On the other side of the window the locking member can be easily bolted to the inside wall. The grill contains a simple locking device that is a bar attached to the grill with an opening in the end. The bar fits through an opening in the locking member and telescopes into an U-shape locking bracket within the locking member.

Abstract: A sealing mechanism for use with open top hoppers when being field by gravity loading. The sealing mechanism has been specifically designed for the plastic industry which dumps the pellets of plastics and pigment from a mixer into an open top hopper. One embodiment is a sleeve that fits over the spout of the mixer and over the open top of the hopper. The sleeve is cut so it will fit over the spout and is sealed by a piece of tape. The bottom end of the sleeve is cut so that it will fit over the hopper and by its tensile property will fit snugly so no pigment will be lost when the mixer dumps the pigment in plastic into the hopper through the sleeve. Another embodiment is a liner that is designed to fit within a hopper with an open bottom. The liner is specifically designed so it will fit over the spout of the mixer and is sealed tightly so no pigment will be lost in the dumping process by a piece of tape.

Abstract: The invention is an aluminum or plastic extruded vandal proof mailbox. In one embodiment mailboxes produced by the process of extruding aluminum or plastic through a mold that produces the body of the mailbox. Then attaching the back and the front door to the mailbox. In another embodiment the body is made in two pieces, the bottom piece and the top piece. The bottom and top are then attached together to form the body. Then the front and the back are attached to form the mailbox. In the preferred embodiment the bodies inter wall is reinforced by several reinforcement ribbons. This mailbox is made by the process of extruding aluminum or plastic through a mold that is designed to make the rib reinforcement in the body of the mailbox. Then reinforcement ribs on the end of the back and the front of the mailbox are router out a short distance and then the back and front of the mailbox are attached to the body.

Abstract: A portable hinged cutting board with drawer for recreational use, such as the popular picnic, is presented having a housing 10 with a folding extension 11 attached by a hinge means 12 to the top edge along the length of the housing 10. The folding extension 11 corresponds in length and width with top of the housing thereby when folded in a closed position it is adjacent to the upper surface of the housing top 10a. The housing 10 can generally be described as having a rectangular top 10a two short sides 10b one long side 10c thereby forming a compartment 10e. A drawer 13 fits snugly into the compartment 10e and is of such a width that when positioned inside as in the closed position the outer wall 13a of the drawer 13 is flush with the edges of the housing 10. The drawer is held in the closed position inside the housing by a fastening means 18 thereby preventing the drawer from opening during transport.

Abstract: This invention in its most basic form is a reservoir container that is adapted to hold the rinse water from the final rinse cycle of a washing machine and a means for conveying the rinse water after being used in the final rinse cycle of the washing machine into the reservoir and the means for returning that water to the wash machine for the beginning of the wash cycle of the next load. The reservoir in the preferred embodiment for a household wash machine holds approximately twenty-five gallons. It is hooked to the washer drain through a two way valve. During the wash cycle this two way valve allows the water to flow out of the washer and into the drain. But for the final rinse cycle the valve directs the water from the washer into the reservoir. The reservoir is also hooked to the incoming water source of the washer by a two way valve.
