Abstract: A sterilization mechanism which includes a first conduit extending between a water tank and a sterilization chamber. A heat source operatively coupled with the first conduit converts water from the water tank into steam for sterilizing objects within the chamber. A second conduit extends from the chamber to the tank for recirculating fluids from the chamber back to the water tank.

Abstract: A mechanism adapted for reducing damage to a tire of a vehicle caused by execution of sharp turns, the tire being adapted to roll across the ground surface during forward vehicle travel, and said tire slides across the surface of the ground laterally with respect to forward vehicle travel during execution of sharp turns such that the tire encounters large laterally directed forces during execution of said sharp turn. A sprayer is carried by said vehicle for lubricating said tire with a lubricating fluid such that the fluid lubricates the tire for reducing friction between the tire and the ground as the tire slides laterally across the ground surface during execution of a sharp turn. An operator engagable control is provided for allowing the operator to selectively actuate the sprayer.

Abstract: A testing mechanism for testing the pressure at which a relief valve will open due to excessive pressure in a fluid system having fluid carrying conduits, the mechanism includes a stop member having a first position whereat the stop member exposes the relief valve to the fluid system and a second position whereat the stop member seals or isolates the relief valve from the fluid system during a test of the relief valve. A pressure gauge is positioned between the stop member and the relief valve for sensing the pressure of fluid engaging the relief valve when the stop member is in the second position. A pressure applying mechanism applies pressure to the relief valve when the stop member is in the second position. A barrier positioned between the pressure applying mechanism and the relief valve prevents fluids other than fluid within the fluid system from engaging the relief valve when the pressure applying mechanism is actuated.

Abstract: A device for aligning the exterior mirrors of vehicles utilizing a sight and target assembly. The device is secured to the front, inside edge of the mirror and provides an aperture through which the driver may view a target provided on the device only when the mirror is properly aligned. Alternately, the device may be secured to the rear of the exterior mirror with the target sighted through an window formed in the mirror.
