Abstract: An improved vaporizer for directing water vapor into the air without causing foaming or accumulation of water at the exit orifice. A relatively large receptacle contains a subhousing consisting of two separated chambers. A first chamber, having electrode means therein for generating steam forming the water vapor and a second chamber are separated by partitions defining a serpentine path with an inverted U-shape configuration. The orifice communicates with the downstream end of the path. The steam after being generated flows along the serpentine path by rising in the first chamber, passing over the top of the partition and downwardly into the second chamber, then moving upwardly toward and through an exit orifice into the surrounding environment. During the downward portion of its path of travel, the relatively large water particles separate from the water vapor by gravity and return to the second chamber, the latter being in fluid communication at its bottom with the first chamber.

Abstract: An improved carrier for supporting a child on the shoulders of the wearer, such as an adult. The carrier comprises a frame having a pair of identical side members interconnected by a pair of vertically spaced crosspieces. Each side member has an upper part formed of a front segment and an inclined back segment. A backrest of flexible material, such as canvas, spans the distance between the back segments and is coupled at its lower margin to the upper crosspiece. A pair of straps coupled to the backrest and to the lower portions of the side members form loops for receiving the arms of the wearer. A child disposed on the carrier has a generally horizontal seat formed by the forward, lower margin of the backrest and the crosspiece in cooperation with the shoulders of the wearer. The front segments of the upper parts of the side members present side rails which confine the child on the seat.
