Abstract: A dispenser for bill straps has an integrally-formed presser extending upward from the bottom of the dispenser to urge one end of a stack of such bill straps upward to a site at which the straps can be withdrawn. Rubber-like edge guides keep the stack aligned and provides pressure on the edges of the bill straps in the stack to facilitate withdrawal of individual straps. Another embodiment provides such apparatus with multiple stations for storage and dispensing of straps preprinted in several different denominations.

Abstract: A plumbing device stores one or more additives, and allows injection and mixing of such additives into the water stream delivered to a plumbing fixture such as a shower head or faucet. The design of the passage for the water stream provides a pressure differential sufficient to draw the additive into the water stream, while check valves are used to prevent backflow of additives. A mixing chamber, with an impeller element, mixes the injected material with the water stream. Metering valves may be used to control the amount of additive dispensed.
