Abstract: A device for ironing laundry, which device consists of a heated, semi-cylindrical bed and a roller arranged rotatably therein, the outer periphery of which lies some distance from the bed wall, wherein the roller periphery directed toward the bed is covered with a resiliently yielding layer of textile, wherein between the roller wall and the layer of textile are arranged resilient elements which are each formed by an elongate carrier with a number of parallel strip-like resilient members directed transversely thereof and held by the carrier at an angle relative to the roller wall, which carriers are held fixedly in axial direction on the roller wall, thereby ensuring a better resilience and a better attachment of the covering to the roller.

Abstract: A system for dispensing a liquid, which may be corrosive, in an amount which is substantially fixed for each cycle of operation includes an airtight measuring vessel with an inlet conduit through which liquid is introduced unidirectionally and an outlet or discharge conduit through which the measured amount of liquid is dispensed. The outlet conduit extends to a predetermined level within the vessel and above it is a float/valve mechanism operating in association with an airjet pump. The operation is such that when the float is buoyed to an operative level higher than the predetermined level, conditions are changed within the vessel to commence the dispensing cycle which terminates when the level of liquid falls below the predetermined level whereupon the float/valve drops to an unbuoyed position to commence the next filling cycle. Operation of the jet pump is required during cycling to cooperate with the float/valve mechanism and create the conditions necessary for filling and for dispensing.
