Abstract: A system having a diverter valve installed between a source of pressurized water and a dispensing shower head for conducting a portion of water from the main flow to an article or device of personal hygiene. The valve may include a return port for conducting water from the device back to the valve for discharge with the main flow through the shower head. A venturi is included in the valve for controlling the main flow and for water conservation.

Abstract: A bottle organizer includes a tray having a U-shaped open-ended channel for insertably receiving a plurality of food product containers such as bottles with baby formula. The tray has a bottom with a pair of upstanding U-shaped walls that have opposing spaced-apart surfaces defining the channel. Indicia is disposed at the open ends of the channel denoting an entrance and an exit respectively. Fastener elements such as suction cups may be employed to hold the tray onto a storage shelf and the length of the channel is substantially equal to the length of the plurality of bottles or containers held within the channel between its opposite ends. An ancillary storage compartment is defined in the central area between opposing surfaces of the inner wall.

Abstract: A fish lure is disclosed having an over-all length comprising two parts. One head part is composed of a hard, rigid material and the other part is composed of a highly flexible soft material representing a fish tail. Both parts include flat surfaces opposing each other for receiving a joining substance such as glue and a pin and hole arrangement is employed for guiding the parts together. The soft part is provided with a cutout on each side of the part to define a hinge about which a fin portion pivots. The fin portion terminates the end of the soft part. A weighted member and lead line and hook connections are embedded in the rigid part as well as a diving plate. The exterior surface of both parts represents actual fish coloring.

Abstract: A torque tool which interfaces between a standard drive socket tool and a fastener intended to be tightened which includes an elongated cylinder having a movable element at one end intended to insertably receive a connection with the standard drive socket tool and a coupler movably carried at the opposite end of the cylinder for detachably connecting with a conventional socket to which the fastener is coupled. Inbetween the coupler and the socket tool connection, there is provided a preset torque device which establishes a torque range insuring that the fastener will not be tightened either too tight nor too loose. This device is an expansion helical spring and bears against a gear arranged in rotary sliding relationship with respect to the coupler for joining with the socket engaging the fastener. The member receiving the drive socket tool includes gear teeth which, in combination with the above-mentioned gear, are splined with internal gear teeth formed in the cylinder to house the torque range device.

Abstract: A boot carrier having a pair of support members insertable into the interior of each boot to bear against the inside heel portion of each boot. A retainer device taking the form of an expandable, segmented clam-shell type or a buckled strap is employed to releasably secure the carrier to each boot. A tether strap detachably connects the pair of support members together for grasping by the user in order to transport the boots from place to place. Each boot may have a sports article attached such as a set of roller blades, snow skis or the like.

Abstract: A machine for marking the location for determining the correct prescription of progressive optical lens including a light beam, a table for supporting the progressive lens in the light beam, an optical protractor having visible indicia thereon for contact against the progressive lens to locate the symbols on the lens that indicate the position of the reference line thereon, and a stamp including adjustable stamp pads for contact against the lens in alignment with a reference line, to apply at least one temporary opaque symbol on the progressive lens from which the lens prescription can be determined.

Abstract: A shift reactor is disclosed that is mounted on the exhaust end of an underoxidized burner so that the exhaust product is introduced to a cooler water bath in a compartment of the reactor. The exhaust product is passed through the water bath via submerged gas diffusers. The reactor compartment includes a collection chamber for receiving the bathed exhaust product containing hydrogen gas which is then exited to a shift catalyst chamber. The latter includes eductor for recirculation. A conduit may be coupled to the water bath for distributing heated water from the bath for exterior heating purposes or for purification means. A drain is operably connected to the conduit for permitting removal of excess water and a fill inlet is provided for adding water.

Abstract: A selector apparatus is disclosed herein for randomly selecting a predetermined quantity of numbered spheres or balls which includes a cylindrical housing having an internal storage compartment occupied by the numbered spheres in a liquid solution such as oil. The compartment is connected to a display chamber by a funnel whereby the numbered spheres are introduced to the display chamber in a randomly selected order. At least the display chamber is defined by a transparent window permitting visual observation of the selected spheres. The storage compartment is of greater area than the display chamber and a support base or chain device may support the apparatus.
