Abstract: A pollution control system for removing harmful elements from industrial smoke streams comprises a reciprocating pump assembly that draws smoke from a furnace or the like and delivers it through a passageway where the smoke is treated sequentially to remove harmful elements therefrom. Disposed along the passageway is an atomizer station, a first fibrous filter, an ignition chamber, and a second fibrous filter. Having traversed the passageway, the smoke is ejected into a large tank of water and bubbles to the surface thereof, thus being further cleansed. From the water tank, the cleansed smoke stream moves up a stack, through a final fibrous filter, and into the atmosphere where it poses a substantially reduced environmental hazard.

Abstract: A vehicle parking garage has a plurality of storage areas arranged in a vertical column and a passageway beside the column in communication with the storage areas. Each storage area has associated therewith a storage member adapted to receive and contain a pallet. Each storage member has a storage position within a storage area and a loading position within the passageway and is adapted to move laterally between its storage and loading positions. A pair of spaced vertical track sections are mounted to each storage member and extend partially into the passageway when the storage members are in their storage positions with the track sections of adjacent storage members aligning vertically to define a pair of vertically extending tracks within the passageway.
