  • Patent number: 7611070
    Abstract: A plumbing fixture including an aspirating type showerhead operates to add a selected scent to the spray water. The showerhead utilizes a venturi assembly where the water supply passes through a venturi. A negative pressure is created at the high velocity water jet stream point, near the narrow area of the venturi. A number of small openings in the venturi, to a surrounding air chamber, allow air from the chamber, to be drawn into the venturi. The air chamber has inlet openings for the aspiration of room air. At a portion of these inlet openings is a quick connect port to receive a scented cartridge. The scent cartridge is then inserted into the quick connect port of the showerhead. Room air is then drawn through and over the scent cartridge where the high velocity air picks up scent molecules from the scented wick within the cartridge.

  • Patent number: 7588689
    Abstract: A storm water treatment device that is installed under the grate of new or existing catch basins, and more commonly referred to as an insert. The catch basin decontamination apparatus has a universal housing and support ring that allows one design to fit most applications. Adjustable chains allow for proper position below grate and a semi-flexible molded or rigid deflector directs incoming drain water to the housing. A slip-on filter/absorber cartridge fits over a perforated drain tube, in the center of the housing, allowing the drain water to first pass through the filter/absorber media before exiting through the drain tube and out the bottom of the housing. The filter/absorber cartridge includes a variety of absorber materials that absorb oil and repel water. Activated carbon, microbes and other site specific absorbents can be used in the replaceable slip-on cartridge. A leaf pre-strainer helps prevent leaves and debris from entering the housing.

  • Patent number: 6499713
    Abstract: An apparatus for holding an associated open book on which some indicia appears which includes apparatus for gripping an associated work surface and apparatus for supporting an associated article on which indicia appears, the apparatus for supporting being fixed to said apparatus for gripping. In some forms of the invention the apparatus for gripping an associated work surface comprises a generally U-shaped clamp dimensioned and configured for engaging an associated generally horizontal planar work surface. The apparatus for supporting may be a first generally planar member. The generally planar member may have an opening formed therein. A substantial part of the generally U-shaped clamp has a surface area that is less than the area of the opening in the generally planar member. The first generally planar member may include at least one rib formed therein.
