Abstract: Evaporative coolers and components therefor that may be used at any of a variety of mounting angles without compromising function or requiring complex and custom adjustments based on a particular mounting angle. In one embodiment, a reservoir for an evaporative cooler includes a water collection basin, a float valve assembly including a float valve housing, a float valve, a lift arm pivotably coupled to the float valve, and a float coupled to the lift arm, a pump, and a drain valve, the pump and the drain valve each being within the water collection basin.

Abstract: An evaporative cooler having a pressurized water distribution system that provides even water distribution to evaporative media pads within the evaporative cooler, even when the evaporative pads are canted and/or are not in perfect alignment. In one embodiment, the evaporative cooler includes a weatherproof sealing assembly that is transitionable between an open position and a closed position. In one embodiment, the evaporative cooler includes a reservoir having a plurality of ribs on a bottom surface to facilitate seating the evaporative cooler on a roof during installation. A method of installing an evaporative cooler including mounting at least a portion of the evaporative cooler to a dropper before securing the dropper to the roof.

Abstract: An evaporative cooler having a pressurized water distribution system that provides even water distribution to evaporative media pads within the evaporative cooler, even when the evaporative pads are canted and/or are not in perfect alignment. The pressurized water distribution system generally includes a distribution assembly with a pressurized flow path portion and a non-pressurized flow path portion, and a supply assembly. The evaporative cooler may also include other features that enhance aesthetics and/or cooling capacity, such as supplemental evaporative media pads, a perforated lid, an internal retaining frame, angled louvers, and/or a dropper that allows for a low-profile installation on a roof of a building or other structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an impact protection device clip configured to locate an impact protection device about a post of a racking system. The post of such racking system includes a cross-sectional wall profile defining a chamber with an opening. The clip includes a body arranged in use to extend through said opening of the post. The body further includes first and second attachment devices for enabling attachment of the clip to the impact protection device, and at least one contact. The at least one contact is configured so that if the protection device is moved in a first direction causing a part of the protection device to be pulled generally away from the post, the contact engages against an inner face of the cross-sectional wall profile of the post so that the engagement between the contact of the clip and the post resists further movement of the protection device in the first direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an aquaculture basket (10) including a top basket part (20), a bottom basket part (30) and at least one door (40). The top and bottom basket pans (20, 30) include connection means (22, 24) for connecting the top and bottom basket parts (20, 30) together. The top and bottom basket parts (20, 30) are interchangeable so as to reduce manufacture costs and to make assembly of the basket (10) easier. The top basket part (10), bottom basket part (20) and the at least one door (40) form an enclosure for housing an aquaculture product. The basket (10) typically includes a door (40) at either end of the basket (10). The top and bottom basket parts (20, 30) are typically identical in construction. The invention also relates to an aquaculture basket attachment system. The attachment system including a connection area (32) integrally formed with or connectable to the basket (10) and a connection member (50) arranged for attachment to the connection area (32).

Abstract: The invention relates to a protecting apparatus (10) for protecting a structure (100) from an impact. The protecting apparatus (10) is arranged to be mounted on the structure (100) and includes a bumper member (12), a structure positioning member (14) and at least one resiliently flexible joining portion (16). The structure positioning member (14) is arranged in use to be positioned in contact with or adjacent to a portion of the structure (100) being protected. The at least one resiliently flexible joining portion (16) extends between the bumper member (12) and the structure positioning member (14) so that when an outer surface (12a) of the bumper member (12) is impacted, the impact force is dissipated at least in part by flexure of the at least one joining portion (16).

Abstract: A respiratory mask, a mould for a respiratory mask, as well as to a method for producing a respiratory mask are disclosed, in which manufacturability and usability of respiratory masks are improved. A respiratory mask is disclosed for administering a breathable gas to a patient, the respiratory mask comprising a first component formed from a flexible material and a second component formed from a material that is more rigid than the flexible material, wherein the first component is formed onto the second component by an overmoulding process.
