A pan can be configured to collect at least a portion of the dispensed liquid with a liquid flow circuit providing liquid to the liquid dispenser. A filter can be disposed in the liquid flow circuit configured to filter the liquid in the liquid circuit and a non-filtering bypass can provide liquid to the liquid dispenser bypassing the filter.

  • Patent number: 11371281
    Abstract: A design for a universal telescoping swing gate can be sized to obscure a wide range of openings while accommodating a multitude of installation options to make the gate versatile under many conditions. The swing gate can have a frame with a pivot member rotatable about a mounting seat between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The frame can have first and second telescoping members adjustable along an extension axis between a collapsed state and a fully extended state for changing the frame length so the gate can be quickly furnished to different sized openings. The gate can be spring loaded to bias the frame to a nominally closed position to reduce the chance for human error among workers. The gate can also be sized to have the structural rigidity to comply with OSHA requirements for handrails and guardrails around a walking-working surface.
