  • Patent number: 5360144
    Abstract: Dispenser for dispensing simultaneously two liquids held in respective flexible containers, one within the other. Concentric tubular passages are provided for flows of the liquids from their containers when pressure is applied to the outer container. The inner passage has a narrow elonage form and terminates within the outer passage a final exit section of which provides a common conduit for both flows. A reduced liquid pressure is produced at the inner passage termination by having a tapered upstream end of the conduit overlapping the termination and the conduit is configured to inhibit mixing of the flows along its length. The two liquids are thus dispensed in a single stream in which, e.g., a colored flow from the inner passage is visible in the core of the stream. By adjusting the position of the conduit taper relative to the inner passage termination, it is possible to vary the proportions of the two components in the flow.

  • Patent number: 4521024
    Abstract: Apparatus for playing a game, comprising a set of playing pieces having at least three distinct identifiable subsets and a playing surface arranged to receive the pieces and maintain them in a row and column matrix with pieces touching adjacent pieces defining the columns of said matrix and with said matrix being filled with less than the set of said pieces, guide means fixed in relation to said playing surface guiding the pieces for movement along the columns between their ends and permitting pieces to enter and leave each column from its ends so that insertion of a piece at one end of the column causes the pieces to be displaced along the column with a piece being discharged from the other end of the column, and means defining a unique direction in which pieces move along each column.
