  • Patent number: 4846382
    Abstract: A vehicle dash mounting device for mounting at least one accessory to a top surface of a vehicle dash includes a housing for mounting to the top surface of the vehicle dash with an upper housing surface and hook and eye fabric fasteners for detachably securing the accessory to the upper housing surface. The housing is also detachably mounted to the dash by hook and eye fabric fasteners. Additionally, for vehicles with a defroster-type vent in the dash, a hook is mounted to the upper housing surface to engage the vent. The housing is generally of a wedge shape, tapering with the downwardly sloping top surface of the dash to position the upper housing surface in a substantially horizontal plane. For accessories with bottom mounted speakers, such as some CB radios, the upper housing surface has an aperture beneath the radio, and the front face also has one or more apertures to allow sound from the speaker to be heard within the vehicle passenger compartment.

  • Patent number: 4149973
    Abstract: An oil-water mixture is introduced into a horizontal trough which is in a container and has baffles directing flow upwardly toward an opening in the container to a trap on the top of the container. Oil separates from the water as it flows along the baffles and moves by gravity separation up into the trap. An interface sensor in the trap opens an oil outlet from the trap whenever a sufficient quantity of oil accumulates. The water flows down from the upper part of the container through a coalescing filter to a water outlet located in the lower part of the container, being a three-stage separator.
