  • Publication number: 20150218789
    Abstract: The invention provides a flush free drain trap system. The trap of the invention may be used in any trap system intended to block a back flow of odors from the waste line. A sealant liquid floats on top of the waste liquid in the trap to block odors. The trap uses one passageway to pass liquids to the sewer line, similarly to a conventional drain system, for preventing overflow and allowing cleaning. A second passageway allows the trap to dispose of small amounts of the waste liquid through an opening and a valve operated by the buoyancy caused by the accumulation of waste liquid in the trap. In normal use, waste liquid is passed to the sewer line without loss of sealant liquid. Furthermore, the performance of the trap is not affected by the evaporation of the waste liquid when the trap is unused.

  • Publication number: 20100163702
    Abstract: The invention provides a device having a plier clamp-like structure with jaws designed to bite onto a support, and at least one of the handles shaped like a ring in order to serve as a receptacle for holding a cup-like container. A user may easily attach the device to a solid support in order to hold a liquid container. The holder may be used in work areas such as desks, tables and the like in order to prevent beverage spillage. The invention provides multiple designs that enable a device to adapt to supports with various thicknesses.
