  • Patent number: 4886388
    Abstract: A cleanser dispensing sponge including a housing having a reservoir with an opening for receiving cleanser concentrate, a head, and a cleanser delivery system comprising a pumping canal having a first opening through an outer surface of the head, and a second opening being in fluid transmitting communication with the reservoir, the second opening including a metering constriction for controlling liquid flow between the system and the sponge, the first opening including a back flow constriction for controlling liquid flow between the system and resilient, fluid conducting sponge means mounted on the head. Support ribs on the head resist bending and rotation of the mounted sponge means. Sealing means for the reservoir opening includes a recess for enclosing air within the sealed reservoir.

  • Patent number: 4886083
    Abstract: Portable cover for vehicle has foldable frame with weather resistant flexible sheet. A ground-rail on each side of the vehicle includes support bars redoubtably mounted on the ground-rail, the bars supporting the weather resistant sheet and being connected over the top of the vehicle. The redoubtably mounted bars are arranged in pairs so that they can be folded over the vehicle, or folded down to the ground beyond the ground rails. For larger vehicles, each ground-rails includes a track, and the support bars are mounted for sliding along a portion of the length of the relatively parallel tracks. Flanges mounted on support bars at the ends of the ground-rails receive wheels of the vehicle for anchoring down the portable cover and for fastening down an end of the frame when it is closed over the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 4832846
    Abstract: A baffle includes a conduit and a flow director flap portion. The conduit includes, at its front, a curved wall generated on an axis running the length of the conduit. One pair each of two pairs of angled walls, extending the length of the conduit, is attached to each side of the curved wall by a free edge of one of the pair, the other edge of the pair being attached to a wall for mounting, the wall having holes for mounting the baffle to a concrete septic tank wall, over a port in the tank wall. The angled walls are preferably perpendicular to each other and to the wall for mounting, the two walls formounting being coplanar and at the back of the conduit. The flow director portion includes two angled walls, one is for attaching the portion to the back of the conduit, the other extends over the end of the conduit and has a surface that is further from the curved wall than it is from the paired walls when the flow director portion is attached to the conduit.

  • Patent number: 4815959
    Abstract: A housing for receiving a working amount of dough, a shaft mounted on a central axis within the housing, a first wall, curved on a radius from the central axis and having a plurality of apertures formed through it. A feed cylinder mounted on the shaft, the cylinder having a surface eccentric about the central axis with the highest point of eccentricity approximately equal to but less than that of the radius, so that as it is rotated it traverses the apertures with the highest eccentricity in intimate association with them, for separating portions of dough from the working amount. For dough of heavy consistency, spring means is included for urging touching contact between the cylinder and the curved wall, and a cut-off edge may be provided on the cylinder at its highest point of eccentricity.

  • Patent number: 4660293
    Abstract: The angle gauge employs pivoted, straight edge arms having indicia therealong to determine length of the arms of bent or angled material as measured from the virtual apex of the angle of bend regardless of the radius of bend. Angle indicia is also provided at the pivot for determining the angle of bend.

  • Patent number: 4591691
    Abstract: An auxiliary heating system for an internal combustion engine powered vehicle having a coolant system in which the conventional engine coolant pump circulates heated coolant from the engine to a heater radiator for transferring heat from the coolant to the vehicle passenger compartment includes a thermostatically controlled electric heating element and an electric pump located in a branch conduit receiving coolant from the heater radiator. The heating element and electric pump are selectively energizable by the vehicle operator to heat and circulate the engine coolant through a check valve and then through selectively actuated electrically controlled valves which direct it through the heater radiator, the engine or both when the engine is not running. The check valve isolates the heating element and electric pump from normal engine coolant circulation flow when the engine is running. In another embodiment an electrically controlled valve replaces the check valve for the same purpose.

  • Patent number: 4493443
    Abstract: A valved dispenser for use with a pump and tap assembly, for dispensing kegged beer and other beverages alternatively in the manner of a fountain dispenser or in the manner of a hand held dispenser, includes a first handle and portion of a cam actuating arrangement suited to hand held operation, and a second handle used in conjunction with the first handle and another portion of the cam actuating arrangement as well as retaining coupler elements on the pump and tap assembly and valve for effectively converting the dispenser to the fountain type. To reduce foam generation while dispensing, a stem guide is formed to permit fluid passing through the valve to flow around the guide for reduced flow velocity. A threaded valve seat element and push-back stem with ready access to a key pivot pin are included for simplified valve disassembly for cleaning and maintenance.

  • Patent number: 4380994
    Abstract: An all season window includes a rectilinear peripherally extending pane mounting frame. Three panes of transparent material are secured sealingly within the frame in parallel spaced relationship and extend vertically. A solar heat ray absorbent material is contained within the frame. In one preferred form of the invention the middle of the three panes comprises the solar heat ray absorbent material and a discrete amount of heat absorbent liquid is included within the frame. A pump and associated motor is provided for pumping the heat absorbent liquid between a first location in which it fills the region between the outer and intermediate panes and a second location in which the liquid fills the region between the inner and intermediate panes.
