Abstract: A stand suitable for elevated support of water heaters and similar objects is disclosed. The stand includes a planar, rectangular tabletop formed and stamped from sheet-like material, and being further formed with downwardly bent marginal side flanges. The tabletop is supported by two pairs of oppositely disposed leg members, which are also stamped from sheet-like material. Each leg member is formed with a longitudinally extending flat central portion and oppositely positioned coextensive angularly bent flange portions. The surface of each leg flange mates with an adjacent facing surface of a respective surface of a respective one of the downwardly depending tabletop flanges. The stand further includes a cruciform arrangement of overlapping crossbars.
Abstract: A stationary support member providing a close bend to support a flexible conduit, such as plastic or metal tubing, and to rigidly mount the conduit on a support structure.
Abstract: A water cooling apparatus utilizes a conventional ice maker to produce ice which is deposited into a large insulated storage tank. The insulated storage tank includes a suspended grate to hold the deposited ice and spray nozzles positioned above the grate bathe the ice with water. Upon spraying, the ice suspended in the tank partially melts, combines with, and cools the sprayed water. A reservoir in the bottom of the tank collects the cooled water, and a sump pump in the bottom of the reservoir pumps water out of the storage tank to a distribution pump. The cooled water is further distributed under pressure to the fogging nozzles positioned in the enclosure's ventilation system. Sensors monitor the level of ice on the grate, the level of cooled water in the reservoir, and the temperature of the animal enclosure.
