  • Patent number: 4436227
    Abstract: A combined pump and tap assembly for a beverage container includes a cylinder for a hand pump and a gas tube projecting downwardly from the bottom wall of the cylinder and communicating with the interior of the latter. A hollow boss rigid with the bottom wall provides a connection for a downwardly projecting draw tube and a fitting for a dispensing hose is rigid with the boss and communicates with the draw tube through the boss. The cylinder, its bottom wall, the boss and the fitting are made as an integral unitary part so as to effectively preclude the user from disabling the hand pump and connecting the gas tube to another pressure source which may be unregulated and cause the container to explode.

  • Patent number: 3937404
    Abstract: A drain clearance device comprising a length of flexible hose having at one of its ends means for connecting it to a source of water under pressure and at the other end a nozzle of elliptic contour longitudinally thereof and of a size to fit into a drain pipe. Said nozzle has four circumferentially spaced, slot-shaped orifices in the flanks of its rounded front end that are adapted to emit flat jets of water under increased pressure forwardly at an oblique angle against the inner surface of the drain pipe to dislodge and flush away any foreign matter that may have accumulated on the wall of the pipe and impede the free flow of water through the pipe. Intermediately of its ends the hose carries slidably mounted thereon means that may be manipulated to close the space around the hose to block back flow of water to the entrance opening of the drain during operation of the device.
