Abstract: A canopy for a stationary covering device in accordance with the present invention comprises a cover that has a vertex point. The vertex point can be characterized by a fixed uppermost point or tip, at the highest culminating point of the canopy from which the cover projects. According to the invention, the cover includes unequal extensions from the vertex point. As such, the vertex point comprises an asymmetrically positioned vertex point. More specifically, the canopy of the invention is rotatable around a fixed longitudinal axis that is elevated from the ground. In this way, the canopy provides an adjustable coverage zone for a pre-determined stationary area beneath it when it is either rotated or tilted, and located at a suitable elevated level relative to the ground, from a first canopy position to a second canopy position.

Abstract: A dry spigot structure may be provided with solid conductors of light suggesting water issuing from that dry spigot structure, and a light source may be positioned inside the dry spigot structure or otherwise for illumination of the solid conductors from time to time.

Abstract: A space is illuminated with a light bulb by sticking that light bulb out of the open mouth of a spout of a dry and simulated spigot structure. The light bulb may alternatively be withdrawn into, and stuck out of, the open mouth of the spout. The spigot structure may have a simulated water flow actuator with which the light bulb is actuated.

Abstract: A dyeing machine is provided which enables both longitudinal and transverse striping of a web of fabric to be dyed. The transverse striping station includes a plurality of dyeing nozzles carried by a carrier chain supported in a generally triangular configuration across the path of travel of the fabric. By suitably controlling the speed of travel of the nozzles relative to that of the fabric web, transverse striping of the fabric can be effected. Longitudinal stripes are produced by dyeing nozzles arranged in a row disposed across, and orthogonal to, the path of travel of the fabric web. These nozzles are ganged together for movement in unison to produce "wavy" longitudinal stripes.
