  • Publication number: 20170152663
    Abstract: A louver cover for a pergola, arbor and the like has pivotal elongated slat assemblies that move between an open upright position and a closed position covering the pergola. The cover is secured between upright supports and cross beams of the pergola. Each slat assembly has a pivotal shaft mounted for pivotal movement between parallel cross beams. The pivotal shaft carries at least one slat member, which is movable between an upright position when the cover is open and a closed position when the slat assemblies extend in a covering relationship over the pergola. In one embodiment, each slat assembly has a slat member with S-shaped profile, and in another embodiment the slat-assembly has two mirror image slat members of J-shaped profile.

  • Publication number: 20120024533
    Abstract: A large diameter conduit extends from a subsea location surrounding a wellhead to an area above the water surface. The conduit is designed to channel escaped oil and gas from the underwater well to a floating collection facility. The conduit has a portion formed from polyvinyl chloride to reduce paraffin solidification and methane gas icing.

  • Patent number: 4371316
    Abstract: To commence and maintain the operation of a bilge pump until the bilge area is sufficiently evacuated of excess bilge water, an electrically conductive ball is deposited in spanning relation across, and thus closes, a pair of circuit switch contacts, and then rolls off said contacts when the permissible lower level is reached to terminate the pump operation. This operational mode is, of course, repeated when the bilge is again filled to excess.
