  • Patent number: 6112823
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a waste fire suppression control device which is attached to the base of a conventional garbage chute system. The device comprises and incorporates a sequence of two control doors. One door is a main control door which is pivotally mounted at the base of the device and which is biased towards a closed position. The main control door opens only when the weight or force of garbage on the top surface of the door is greater than a pre-determined release force. The other door is a closing plate which is held open during normal operation of the device and closes either automatically in response to elevated temperature or manually. The two control doors together and separately form a barrier to prevent smoke and fire from entering the chute system and to contain smoke and fire within the dumpster area. As well, an integrated conventional sprinkler system floods the device and dumpster below with water.

  • Patent number: 5725557
    Abstract: A suture anchor for anchoring one end of a conventional suture to bone comprising a coupling member, at least one barb made of a resilient elastic material projecting form said coupling member, and means for attaching one end of a suture to said suture anchor. The coupling member and the at least one barb and adapted to securely anchor one end of the suture in bone when the suture is attached to the attachment means so that the other end of the suture extending outside the bone can be used to attach objects to the bone. A novel application tool is also provided.

  • Patent number: 5482065
    Abstract: There is disclosed an industrial washing machine which includes a casing with a lid, a liquid reservoir within the casing and a collecting area associated with the reservoir. The washing machine further includes a cover adapted for covering the collection area and the liquid reservoir. Cooperating with the cover is a filter assembly which is disposed within the casing. Further, an assembly is included which effects the movement of floating grease and oil from the liquid within the reservoir. This floating grease and oil is directed by the assembly towards a fixed point within the casing for collection and eventual removal.

  • Patent number: 5046513
    Abstract: A method for anchoring suture to bone, wherein the method comprises the steps of (1) providing a suture anchor of the sort comprising (a) a coupling member, (b) at least one barb, said barb having a first end and a second end and being curved in its normal unstressed state and being capable of being elastically deformed to a substantially straight configuration, said barb being attached to said coupling member so that said second end of said barb is substantially displaced from said coupling member when said barb is in its normal unstressed state but is aligned with said coupling member when said barb is deformed to a substantially straight configuration, and (c) attachment means for attaching the suture to the suture anchor, (2) deforming the barb to a substantially straight configuration and retaining the barb in its deformed condition, and attaching a suture to the suture anchor, and forming a hole in a bone to which the suture is to be anchored, (3) inserting the suture anchor with its deformed barb into

  • Patent number: 4898156
    Abstract: A suture anchor for anchoring one end of a conventional suture to bone comprising a coupling member, at least one barb made of a resilient elastic material projecting from said coupling member, and structure for use in attaching one end of a suture to said suture anchor. The coupling member and the at least one barb are adapted to securely anchor one end of the suture in bone when the suture is attached to the attachment structure, so that the other end of the suture extending outside the bone can be used to attach objects to the bone. A novel application tool is also provided.

  • Patent number: 4842001
    Abstract: The present invention provides an industrial washing machine in which articles or parts to be cleaned are supported in a basket rotated by a jet spray and cleaned by a cleaning spray, maintained at a desired pressure. The jet spray provides an overflow relief to avoid unacceptable increases in the cleaning spray pressure with the rotating basket being provided with a brake to substantially maintain a predetermined rotational speed of the basket.
