Abstract: An improved storage reservoir assembly has increased resistance to leakage of fluid from the assembly into the ground. The assembly comprises a storage reservoir suitable for being buried beneath ground level and suitable for containing a fluid and at least one support unit attached to or disposed adjacent to the reservoir and suitable for attachment to an above-ground canopy. The assembly also provides for substantially surrounding the reservoir with a hydrostatic head of a second fluid for detecting reservoir leaks by infiltration of the second fluid within the reservoir. This may be accomplished through an enclosure suitable for substantially surrounding the reservoir or through the use of a double-walled reservoir, with the second fluid contained within the enclosure or between the walls of a double-walled reservoir. In addition, the assembly provides for a piping network of the distribution system for supplying remote service islands to be located within a primary above-ground canopy.

Abstract: An improved storage reservoir assembly has increased resistance to leakage of fluid from the assembly into the ground. The assembly comprises a storage reservoir suitable for being buried beneath ground level and suitable for containing a fluid, at least one support unit attached to the reservoir and suitable for attachment to an above-ground canopy and an enclosure suitable for partially surrounding the reservoir. The enclosure is spaced from the reservoir so as to define a void therebetween, and the void is filled with a filling material suitable for decreasing leakage of fluid into the ground and/or assisting maintaining the buried condition of the reservoir within the ground. In an alternative embodiment, a reservoir includes at least one fluid-tight passageway therethrough for accommodating the insertion of at least one support unit suitable for attachment to an above-ground canopy and for supporting the above-ground canopy external to the reservoir.

Abstract: An integrated underground storage reservoir and above-ground canopy system is provided. This system comprises a storage reservoir suitable for being buried beneath ground level and suitable for containing a fluid. The integrated system also includes a support system disposed in communication with the reservoir and suitable for projecting above ground level when the reservoir is in a buried condition. The support system preferably includes at least one support member. The integrated system further includes a canopy attached to at least one support member, suitable for providing shelter from weather while accessing the reservoir. In alternative embodiments of this invention, the support system includes support units disposed adjacently to, attached to the exterior of, and disposed within the interior of the underground storage reservoir. The integrated system allows direct access to the storage reservoir, minimizes underground piping and provides enhanced vapor recovery.

Abstract: A bidet attachment which can be retrofit to any conventionally sized toilet includes fittings for rigidly connecting the attachment to the existing water supply line and toilet water tank, a valve for selectively controlling water flow through the device, a hand-adjustable supply conduit extending between the seat and the toilet bowl having a remote end portion extending downwardly below a rear center portion of the seat into the toilet bowl, and an adjustable nozzle directed upwardly generally normal to the remote end portion, whereby water sprayed from the nozzle is directed on the rectal area of a user. The adjustable supply conduit includes a plurality of tube segments which are slidably connected with a plurality of corresponding elbow fittings.

Abstract: A system of above grade piping for distributing product from underground storage tanks to dispensers, plus a means to contain and capture surface spills and direct same into an oil-water separator that is built into and is part of the underground storage tank.

Abstract: A transportable prebuilt room forming module for external attachment to the exterior of a building comprises an inner box defining a room and an outer box spaced from the inner box and defining an enclosure and risers and insulation between the two boxes and rigidly interconnecting them, the inner box including a sandwich type floor member interconnecting the walls of the room and a reinforced roof member also interconnecting the walls of the room.

Abstract: A system of nozzles and seals provides a means to return gasoline vapors from a gasoline tank to a gasoline storage tank.

Abstract: The disclosure reveals an inside-out method of building construction wherein factory built room forming boxes are first set in place on a foundation and thereafter the structure is built around the boxes as a core.
