Abstract: A safety air gap system for an exemplary high volume evacuator having a water-sealed pump to provide suction thereto and including a gray water discharge from the pump to a drain, the system including a closed housing adapted to be mounted at a higher level than the evacuator, a reservoir for fresh water in the housing terminating a predetermined distance below the top, a coaxial pair of inner and outer tubes extending upward from the bottom of the reservoir and terminating above the top of the reservoir, the lower end of the inner tube receiving municipal water for discharge at the top to the outer tube which discharges the water at the lower end to the reservoir as controlled by a float-operated valve between the upper ends of the tubes, the housing having in one sidewall an outlet port connectable to a drain at a level below the top of the reservoir to prevent accidental filling of the housing with water in the event of a malfunction of the system, and an air gap opening positioned in a sidewall of the hou

Abstract: A manually-operable ejector holder for a loaded syringe-type cartridge having an annular collar on one end and a discharge tip on the other end and including an elongated barrel having a piston slidable therein and actuated by a fixed handle on one end of the barrel and a pivoted operating lever cooperable with the handle. The opposite end of the barrel has a curved transverse recess to receive a portion of the collar on the cartridge and a pivoted locking member has a corresponding curved transverse recess in opposition to and cooperable with the recess in the opposite end of said barrel to receive an opposite portion of the collar on the cartridge, and a sleeve is slidable over said locking member and along said opposite end of said barrel to detachably connect said cartridge to said holder.
