  • Patent number: 8887753
    Abstract: An in-line water trap located in the line of the flow of waste through a generally straight line or bend is provided for. Typically, the water trap comprises a fluid conduit having a first end, a second end and a passage between the first and second ends; and a vessel having a closed end, an open end and a skirt between the closed and open ends, the lobed vessel further having an inner surface defining an inner volume and an outer surface, the inner surface attachingly engaging an outer wall of the fluid conduit in so doing defining a flow path between the passage, the inner volume of the lobed vessel and the outer surface of the lobed vessel, in use, a fluid level inside the inner volume of the lobed vessel being substantially in communication with the second end of the fluid conduit to form a fluid seal.

  • Publication number: 20040247143
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for listening to voice and/or musical signals by means of cranial bone transmission, comprising a case (8, 15) having a forward frontal face, which is sealed by a flexible membrane (11), and a rear frontal face (15a), which consists of a rigid, hermetic wall, and comprising a piezoelectric element (1) having suitable dimensions in order for same to be integrated in the case, means (18) for supporting the piezoelectric element which are suitable for joining the periphery of the latter to the case in a solid manner, in such a way as to divide the internal volume of the said case into two hermetic chambers: a forward chamber (6) filled with an incompressible gel or fluid, and a rear chamber (7) comprising damping means (28) suitable for compensating the stresses exerted on the piezoelectric element (1) which result from the forces exerted on the flexible membrane (11).

  • Patent number: 6735149
    Abstract: A device forming a mouthpiece for a snorkel or diving regulator, adapted to fit in the mouth of a diver or swimming and comprising a body provided with an air intake and extended by two lateral branched each provided with a bite tab, and at least one transducer buzzer positioned in one of the branches and comprising a piezoelectric membrane. Each transducer buzzer comprises a peripheral weight fixed to the periphery of the piezoelectric membrane, and elements for transmitting the vibrations of the membrane towards the teeth of the diver or swimmer. Furthermore, each transducer buzzer is positioned in the branch in such a way that the piezoelectric membrane is totally isolated from the external environment, and that the transmission elements form a contact interface with the teeth at the bite tab.
