Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for cleaning paint distributing channels in spray guns, whereby paint distributing channels are adapted to direct paint from a supply (3) thereof to a paint discharge nozzle (5) and cleanable by leading a dissolvent (6) filled into the paint supply (3) from the supply through the paint distributing channels (2) and out from the spray gun (1) through its paint discharge nozzle (5).

Abstract: The dry cleaning apparatus includes a heat and cold generating unit for heating a heating liquid such as diathermic oil and cooling a cooling liquid such as antifreeze. A heating liquid circuit operates during a dry cleaning solvent regeneration phase to evaporate the solvent following clothes cleaning. A cooling liquid circuit operates during this phase to condense the solvent following evaporation. During a subsequent cleaning phase the heating liquid circuit heats the air circulating through a barrel including the clothes being cleaned. Simultaneously, the cooling liquid circuit cools a heat exchanger provided in a duct for the circulating air so as to condense solvent from the heated circulating air and return it to the barrel. The heating liquid circuit is actually split with a heating resistor provided in one subcircuit.

Abstract: An auxiliary tag axle assembly for a work vehicle such as a ready-mix concrete truck which is positionable via actuation of a linear actuator to extend the wheel assembly from the rear end of the vehicle's frame to a ground engaging disposition and retractable to a stowed position where the wheels straddle the rear end of the frame and with the auxiliary axle elevated to a position above the level of the bottom of the frame. The need for plural actuators is obviated by utilizing a flexible cable of a predetermined length to effect desired movement of the working parts upon extension and retraction of the main linear actuator.

Abstract: A laundry washing machine includes a wash tub, a basket for receiving laundry and mounted for rotation within the wash tub, a recirculating duct extending from the bottom of the wash tub to an upper portion thereof, and a pump for recirculating the washing liquid through the duct from the bottom of the wash tub to the upper portion thereof. A housing is attached to the top of the wash tub to define a chamber, and the duct extends into the housing such that the washing liquid pumped by the pump through the duct is discharged into the chamber. Heater elements are located within the chamber to thereby heat the washing liquid discharged into the chamber. The interior of the chamber communicates with the interior of the wash tub through an overflow weir. The machine further may include an air drying circuit whereby air is recirculated through an air duct by means of a fan from the bottom of the wash tub to the chamber, wherein the recirculated air is heated by the heating elements.

Abstract: A dual shaft pan mixer comprises a mixing vessel (1) having a first and a second pan section (3 and 4), a pair of paddle assemblies (10) having drive shafts (13) which are disposed horizontally and in paralllel relationship with each other within the mixing vessel (1) and adapted to rotate in mutually opposite directions, and a drive source (20) for synchronously driving the pair of paddle assemblies (10). The mixing vessel (1) includes a substantially triangular space (22) below an area intermediate the first and the second pan section and displaced out of the loci of rotation of the paddle assemblies (10), and also includes a discharge port (5) which is disposed adjacent to the space (22). The mixer also comprises a rod-shaped vibration generator (30) disposed within the space (22) and extending in a direction parallel to the drive shafts (13).

Abstract: This invention relates to a vacuum cleaner attachment for the purpose of simultaneously cleaning a plurality of slats of a Venetian blind and comprises: A molded body 20, a vertical handle 24, a tubular neck 22, having communication with the body and adapted to be connected to a vacuum cleaner hose (not shown), rectangularly shaped fingers 26 which have communication with the body and extend out horizontally from the side of the body opposite the handle, and each opposing finger face having apertures 44 on a longitudinal center axis, rectangularly shaped brush plates 38 having approximately the same lateral dimensions as the finger faces and having apertures 40 in registry with apertures on the opposing finger faces, brush plates slide on and off the finger faces by way of a channel 34 and lip structures 32 and small tabs 48 on the lip structure lock the brush plates in place, bristles 46 will be affixed to the brush plate faces and extend towards each other when locked in place on opposing finger faces.

Abstract: A finishing tool for trowelling and sweeping the surface of freshly laid concrete slab. The tool includes a trowel member having a front edge and a rear edge; an elongated handle; bracket structure for attaching the handle to the trowel member and for allowing the trowel member to be tilted with the rear edge engaging the concrete slab and with the front edge positioned above the concrete slab and pushed across the concrete slab and to be tilted with the front edge engaging the concrete slab and with the rear edge positioned above the concrete slab and pulled over the concrete slab; a brush member; and attachment structure for attaching the brush member to the trowel member substantially adjacent the front edge of the trowel member and for causing the brush member to sweep the concrete slab when the trowel member is tilted to cause the front edge thereof to engage the concrete slab and when the trowel member is then pulled across the concrete slab.
