Abstract: A closed system transfer device includes a first adaptor and a second adaptor that attach with one another in a coupled state to form a sealed fluid passage between two reservoirs. The first adaptor can be attached to a first reservoir, and the second adaptor can be attached to a second reservoir. One or both adaptors can include a septum that engages another septum during coupling and decoupling to prevent liquid or vapor from being released to the environment. The device can also include a vent line that equalizes pressure between the two reservoirs. The vent line can include at least one filter to filter gas in device. In addition, or in the alternative, the vent line can be connected in fluid communication with an inflatable membrane that stores gas inside the device and assists in equalizing pressure.

Abstract: A mounting plate for securing a pressure vessel having a threaded discharge outlet within a tank of a one-piece toilet generally includes an elongate member, a pair of spaced apart openings, a pair of bolts passing through the respective openings, nuts holding the bolts in place, and a threaded hole disposed between the spaced apart openings and engaging the threaded discharge outlet. In accordance with the method of the present invention, the mounting plate is provided and screwed onto the vessel discharge outlet by way of the threaded hole and thereafter the member is secured with the vessel to a one-piece toilet.

Abstract: A coupling for enabling interconnection between the pressurized toilet flush unit and the toilet tank outlet includes a first gasket for providing a seal between the mounting flange of the pressurized toilet flush unit and a toilet tank floor. An adapter provides for centering of a pressurized toilet flush unit spud in an opening and a toilet tank outlet and a gasket provides for sealing the adapter to an underside of the toilet tank floor. A spud nut is provided for centering the adapter within the toilet tank opening.

Abstract: A molded article ejection device for use in conjunction with a multistation molding machine. The multistation molding machine has at least a first molding station defined between a first mold platen and a second mold platen and a second molding station defined between the second mold platen and a third mold platen, a mechanism for opening and closing the molding stations, and tie bars for connecting the first, second and third mold platens. Ejection devices are used for ejecting molded articles from each of the first and second molding stations and a linkage is used for connecting a plurality of the ejection devices and translating movement of at least one ejection device to at least one other ejection device. A motive mechanism is used for actuating the ejection devices, wherein the motive mechanism is independent of the mechanism for opening and closing.

Abstract: A multi-function valve for installation in a riser of a sprinkler system provides two valve functions. One function is to stop flow automatically when breakage of a sprinkler head causes the flow rate to exceed a predetermined threshold. The second function is to prevent back flow and reduce the risk of the "hammer effect" causing damage to the sprinkler system.
