Abstract: An air reefing system of the type to be used primarily in combination with a flexible flow form device. The air reefing system basically comprises a flexible flow form device construction comprising at least three skins of interrelating shape and construction to define a predetermined configuration including a plurality of Jordan clusters formed in the first and second skins and a plurality of holonomic ports formed in the third skin, in combination with air reefing enhancers disposed on the device, whereby the device is both self-inflating and self-reefing upon its exposure to the air.

Abstract: A self priming mechanism for a dispenser comprising a container attachment and a dip tube sealer. The container attachment may comprise a screw threaded cap, a mounting cup or any of the customary means to mount a dispenser on a container and includes an upper dip tube sealer housing which communicates with a dispensing structure such as a pump or a dispensing valve. The dip tube sealer comprises a seal collar movable between an open and a closed position. The collar has a dip tube tail upon which a dip tube is mounted extending downward through the container head space and into the product to be dispensed. The attachment and the dip tube sealer cooperatively form a feedback therebetween when the flexible collar is in the open position to permit air trapped within the dip tube during assembly to escape back to the head space. They also cooperatively form a pair of sealing surfaces therebetween to prevent flow through the feedback when the flexible collar is in the closed position.

Abstract: A disc brake assembly of the type used primarily in an automobile or like motor vehicle environment and including a disc member attached to the wheel, and a lining and lining assembly disposed immediately adjacent the disc for frictional engagement therewith. The lining is interconnected to a lining support element in the form of a rotatable hub wherein the lining itself and the hub are rotationally and linearly movable relative to one another such that frictional engagement between the lining and the disc occurs when the disc and the lining are moving in the opposite rotational directions to accomplish maximum frictional engagement and accordingly, more efficient braking action on the wheel to which the disc is attached.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for simultaneously generating and pumping foam. As air is being pumped, foam solution is transmitted through a number of bores formed in at least one of the pump's pumping members, whereupon foam is generated when the solution emerges from the bores and is discharged at the pump's outlet.
