  • Patent number: 12011730
    Abstract: A shower stabilizer assembly for use in connection with a broken or loose showerhead assembly is provided. The assembly includes a stabilizer plate, one or more spacers of varying sizes/thicknesses, and a plurality of fasteners to secure the stabilizer plate to a structure. The stabilizer plate comprises a cylindrically shaped spacer contact nipple having a first end affixed to a flange that extends outwardly from the spacer contact nipple and has a circular opening aligned with an interior of the cylindrically shaped spacer contact nipple for receiving a shower pipe arm of the showerhead assembly. The opening in the flange and interior of the cylindrically shaped spacer contact nipple are sized to receive the shower pipe arm.

  • Patent number: 11731155
    Abstract: A method for stabilizing a loose showerhead assembly and a shower stabilizer assembly are provided. The showerhead stabilizer assembly includes a stabilizer plate, one or more spacers of varying sizes/thicknesses, and a plurality of fasteners to secure the stabilizer plate to a structure. The method for stabilizing a loose showerhead includes the steps of removing the showerhead, installing one or more spacers onto the shower arm pipe to a depth that creates a hard stop, installing the stabilizer plate such that a spacer contact nipple of the stabilizer plate creates a hard stop against the spacer and the circular flange is in contact with the front surface of the shower wall, and securing the stabilizer plate by installing one or more fasteners in appropriate mounting holes located in the flange.

  • Publication number: 20040191396
    Abstract: A process for sprouting flaxseed is provided in which wet flaxseeds are agitated vigorously and allowed to sprout under a controlled moisture environment using a plurality of discreet water additions. The sprouts formed exhibit enriched Omega-3 fatty acid content compared to whole flaxseed, and may be eaten fresh or dried. A dried sprout product may be formed from other seed types by sprouting to a length of less than about three times the length of the whole seed, and subsequently drying and grinding the sprout. Flaxseeds may be co-sprouted with other seeds such as fenugreek, soy, red clover, alfalfa, radish, garlic, mustard, onion, broccoli, alfalfa, canola, other brassica family plants, and combinations of these.

  • Patent number: 6783083
    Abstract: A fluid spraying apparatus (10) comprising a generally cylindrical body defining a longitudinal axis, which body comprises: a first fixed part (12) comprising inlet means (16) adapted for connection to a pumped supply of fluid, and turbine means (40, 42, 44) arranged to be driven by said fluid; and a second rotatable part (14) comprising gear means (46-60), and one or more nozzles (82) in fluid communication with the turbine means for outletting the fluid as one or more jets, which nozzles extend radially of the longitudinal axis, which rotatable part is drivable by the turbine means through said gear means such that said nozzles are caused to rotate about said longitudinal axis; characterized in that none of the nozzles extends radially of the longitudinal axis further than the body. The apparatus is adapted to operate at a working pressure of 4-8 bar to provide a flow-rate of 400-700 m3/hr, and is thus suitable for use with low pressure pumps of the kind often found at oil refineries.
