A second pipe includes a first end having a third thickness and a third opening diameter, a second end having the third thickness and the third opening diameter, many openings throughout the second pipe, and reinforcement portions throughout the second pipe. The second pipe is configured to attach over the first pipe to allow filtration of a liquid.

Abstract: According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided an electrical distribution system (1) comprising or including an insulating track (4) for insulating an electrically conducting track (5) connectable to an electric power supply, one or more electric power take off sockets (2), each for receiving in electrical contact therewith an electric plug when inserted therein, characterized in that the or each socket (2) has electrical contacts (48, 49 and 50) engageable via a push fit with a slideable carriage (23) electrically connectable to the electrically conducting track (5) and being adapted to slide therealong, and locking means (32, 33) whereby the or each socket may be selectably locked in place along the electrically conductive track, thereby to position and re-position as required said the or each electric power take off socket.

Abstract: A heat resistant multi-layer structure configured to form a food or beverage container. The multi-layer structure includes a core layer connected to an external multi-layer side and an internal multi-layer side. The external multi-layer side includes an external multi-layer polymer film and a first bonding layer. The internal multi-layer side includes an internal multi-layer polymer film, a second bonding layer and a barrier layer.

Abstract: A Sheesha smoking tube assembly includes a unitary, one-piece structure, making a Sheesha smoking apparatus easier to clean, less susceptible to damage and more hygienic. The single smoking tube assembly includes a flexible tube, mouthpiece and connector made through a single forming process that uses die blocks. Soft seals prevent leaking between the tube and the Sheesha body. The flexible tube, mouthpiece and connector may be discarded after each use.

Abstract: A pallet assembly includes an upper deck and a lower deck. Each deck comprises a thermoplastic sheet formed with ridges and channels on one side, corresponding to features necessarily defined on the opposite side. A plurality of strengthening ridges and channels are formed in the load bearing surface of each deck, with corresponding channels and ridges necessarily formed in the lifting surface of the deck, to resist bending and folding of the pallet. A reinforcing member is received within a peripheral channel of each deck. Apertures are formed in the upper deck and the lower deck in alignment. A column is disposed between each pair of aligned holes. A hollow pin extends through a hole in the column and the apertures of the decks. A rigid insert is disposed in each open end of each pin. Each insert includes a recess for receiving an anti-skid plug.

Abstract: A water well filter apparatus includes a conduit with multiple layers. The conduit comprises an inner layer, middle layer and outer layer with each layer comprising a composite of polymers, preferably ABS and unplasticized PVC. The thicker middle layer also includes a higher proportion of ABS than the other layers for rigidity and heat deflection. The inner and outer layers have a higher proportion of UPVC for greater chemical and impact resistance. The conduit further includes slots and mating end portions enabling the conduit to be coupled end-to-end with additional conduits to form an elongated filter assembly. A dual cylinder apparatus comprises an inner conduit and an outer conduit with each conduit having an inner layer, middle layer and outer layer composed of a composite of polymers. A permeable cover is disposed over the inner conduit. Filter granules are disposed in the gap between the two conduits.

Abstract: A storage shed comprises a plurality of posts erected onto a base. The posts comprise a prismatic profile disposed over a hollow bar to form a void and a longitudinal slot. Corrugated wall panels are disposed in between the posts. U-channels are coupled to the base to support the posts and wall panels. The wall panels include parallel latitudinal folds and longitudinal side flanges which fit into the longitudinal slots of the posts. A roof frame is disposed on top of the vertical posts and wall panels. Corrugated roof panels are disposed on the roof frame. The corrugated roof panels include parallel latitudinal folds and side portions adapted to overlap with each other. Ridge panels are disposed at the ridge of the roof frame so as to cover a portion of the roof panels on each side of the shed. Facia boards are disposed on an entrance end and a rear end of the roof frame. Doors are disposed on an entrance side of the shed.

Abstract: A joint system for water well conduit assemblies includes a plurality of similar modular conduits. Each conduit comprises a cylindrical end portion at a first end and a socket at an opposite, second end configured to receive the cylindrical end portion. Matching configurations of apertures are defined in the cylindrical end portion and the socket. The cylindrical end portion of a first conduit is inserted into the socket of a second conduit. An inwardly deformable pin is inserted through each through hole defined by a pair of aligned apertures. The pin includes slots and a central axial hole with a serrated upper portion and an annular groove. A plug with a serrated head and an annular bump is disposed in the central axial hole to lock the pin in place and thus secure the conduits together. A seal is formed between the cylindrical end portion and the socket.

Abstract: An improved load bearing pallet includes an upper deck formed from a sheet of thermoplastic material with a load engaging surface and an opposing, substantially parallel lift engaging surface. Ridges, channels, depressions, and legs, are formed in the sheet with corresponding features being necessarily defined by the sheet on the opposite side. The pallet preferably includes a peripheral channel formed around a periphery of the upper deck and nine legs positioned in three rows of three creating two gaps on each side of the pallet for the tines of a fork lift to enter to lift the pallet. A plurality of strengthening ridges and channels are formed in the load bearing surface of the upper deck, with corresponding channels and ridges necessarily formed in the lifting surface of the upper deck, to resist bending and folding of the pallet.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for laminating a decorative lamination film to an extruded substrate is disclosed. The decorative lamination film may be clear, translucent, pearlescent, or opaque and it is compressed against the extruded substrate between a pair of rollers. In the context of vertical blind louvers, the rollers and the decorative lamination film are wider than the extruded substrate, the side edges of the extruded substrate being temporarily pressed upward in contact with the lamination film. The roller in contact with the lamination film is heated to a temperature sufficient to melt a central length of the lamination film that is contact with the extruded substrate, and thereby under increased pressure, but not so hot as to melt the unused side lengths of the lamination film. The unused side lengths, therefore, do not melt and naturally separate from the central length.
