  • Publication number: 20060005975
    Abstract: A fire fighting system includes a rack having open sides for carrying sprinklers on the outsides and hoses within. The rack has a generally enclosed pair of rigid ends, a lower rigid floor and an upper rigid brace, wherein the of rigid ends are mounted in spaced apart relation on opposite ends of the floor and the brace. Releasable mounting means are mounted on the pair of rigid ends for releasably mounting a plurality of elongate sprinklers across said apart sides of the open sides of the rack so as to form, when the sprinklers are mounted thereon, rigid side walls covering the spaced apart sides of the open sides. This defines an enclosed storage cavity within the rack bounded by the ends, the side walls, the floor and the brace. The storage cavity is sized for storage of the coiled hoses therein.

  • Patent number: 4052130
    Abstract: An article for depositing a hot wax substance on a substrate in a desired pattern and which article includes a bowl having a reservoir for retaining the hot wax substance in a relatively liquid state. A spout extends outwardly from the housing and has a capillary tube connected to the spout and extending into the reservoir and terminating near the bottom wall of the reservoir. Moreover, this capillary tube has a relatively small diameter so that when the wax is in a heated state it will tend to rise in the tube by capillary action. When the reservoir is tipped so that the spout is pointed downwardly, the wax will flow through the spout and onto the substrate from the reservoir by means of a siphoning action. In a preferred aspect of the invention, a retaining tube extends through the reservoir in heat conductive relationship with the capillary tube. This retaining tube is designed to receive a heater element.
