Abstract: Devices and methods for diverting water from a downspout are described herein. The devices include a body having at least one outer side wall, a top end having a top opening configured to couple to an upper portion of downspout and a bottom end having a bottom opening configured to couple to a lower portion of downspout. The device also includes an outlet extending through one of the outer side walls. The outlet is configured to provide for the water to flow through the outer side wall. The device also includes a collecting surface positioned between the top end and the bottom end of the body. The collecting surface extends inwardly from the outer side walls beneath the outlet. The device also includes an inner body having one or more inner side walls inwardly spaced from the outer side wall.

Abstract: A work piece tagging system is described herein. The system includes a work piece having a body. The body includes an outer surface defining an opening and a tubular portion defining a recess extending inwardly from the opening. The tubular portion has a first interior surface opposed to the opening. The system also includes a tag having a fold extending from a first side to a second side of the tag. The fold defines a first corner, a second corner and first and second sections of the tag. A length of the fold is less than a width of the opening and greater than a width of at least a portion of the first interior surface. The tag is retained in the recess by the first and second corners engaging the portion of the first interior surface when the tag is inserted fold first into the recess.

Abstract: An apparatus for minimizing spilling of liquids poured into a container, the apparatus comprising a funnel structure and a float member. The funnel structure has an open top portion extending to a flow aperture open into a spout extending downwardly beyond an almost-full level. The float member is movable within the spout and configured and dimensioned such that a float top is forced into a sealing engagement with the flow aperture by a liquid reaching the almost-full level below an empty head space reserved for draining the liquid from the top portion by lifting the funnel structure thus disengaging the flow aperture from the float member. The top portion may have a frusto-conical shape tapering from an open mouth to the flow aperture.

Abstract: A security gate comprises a pair of posts fixed adjacent opposing sides of a gate opening. The gate includes a pair of first gate panels pivotally mounted on the posts and second gate panels pivotally coupled to the outer ends of the first gate panels respectively so that the second gate panels meet one another in the closed position of the gate. Each first gate panel and the respective second gate panel pivotally coupled thereto are moveable together between an open position folded adjacent the respective post and a closed position spanning across the gate opening. A drive linkage is coupled between each post and the inner end of the respective first gate panel pivotally coupled thereto to drive pivotal movement of the first gate panel between the open and closed position. A guide mechanism is coupled between the fixed post and the inner end of the second gate panel for guiding pivotal movement of the second gate panel between the open and closed positions responsive to movement of the first gate panel.
