  • Publication number: 20070074341
    Abstract: The invented system controls hot and cold water flows to a conventional shower. It includes a soap dish; dish cover; fitting with interconnected lower and upper chambers having a through flow capable of interrupting by a ball, the lower chamber downwardly connected to the shower; a cross-shaped valve having a shaft with a fixed pusher lowered by said dish cover when opened by the user during lathering, thereby shutting the water by the ball, and said pusher lifted when the dish cover closed, thereby opening the water; a pressure balance mixer connected to the upper chamber, comprising left and right chambers, conical connectors, frame, balancer, divider, left and right balls, stabilizing the outlet mixed water temperature when the hot or cold water pressure fluctuates, keeping previous regulation settings of the hot and cold taps allowed to be constantly opened, while the cross-shaped valve shuts and opens the outlet mixed flow.

  • Patent number: 6962478
    Abstract: A vertical axis windmill has an immovable, hollow circumferential frame having a plurality of peripheral openings, and rotatable turbine arranged inside the frame and connectable to a generator of electric energy, the turbine having a plurality of vanes each having a working side and a non-working side, and a plurality of gate elements turnably connected with the frame for closing and opening of the openings of the frame by wind flowing substantially in a horizontal plane, the gate elements and the vanes of the turbine being formed so that at one side of the frame the wind opens the gate members by turning them in a predetermined direction, so that at one side the wind turns the gate elements so as to open corresponding ones of the openings, enters the frame through the corresponding opened openings and acts on the working side of corresponding ones of the vanes so as to rotate the turbine in the predetermined direction, while at the same time at the other side of the frame the wind closes other offset gate m

  • Patent number: 6725895
    Abstract: A wheel has a rigid rim, a soft tire arranged on the rigid rim, and a unit for generating different pressures from inside in the soft tire in contact zone of tire with road surface, at opposite sides of a vertical transverse plane of symmetry of the rim so as to cause pushing of the tire with rim of wheel along a roadway, the tire being subdivided in a plurality of separate chambers spaced from one another in a circumferential direction, the unit for generating different pressures being operative for generating different pressures in a computerized way in any chamber of the tire at any time.

  • Patent number: 6623489
    Abstract: A device for destroying formations in a body has a tubular element introducible into a body to an area of a formation, a gripping element extended through the tubular element and having a front end provided with gripping means for grasping a formation, and a formation destroying element also extending through the tubular element and having a front end provided with a working part, the formation destroying element being rotatable so that during rotation of the formation destroying element with the working part the part in contact with the formation destroys the formation.
