  • Patent number: 8789216
    Abstract: A vessel for containing liquid includes a floor perimetrically surrounded by a plurality of upwardly projecting walls; at least one exit port incorporated into at least one of the walls proximate to an upper edge of the at least one wall; and a liquid circulation pump apparatus. The liquid circulation pump apparatus includes a first conduit in fluid communication with the vessel; a circulation pump positioned downstream from and in fluid communication with the first conduit; a supply conduit positioned downstream from and in fluid communication with the circulation pump; and a diverter valve positioned downstream of the circulation pump and upstream of the supply conduit. The circulation pump is adapted to pump liquid from the vessel through the first conduit and deliver liquid through the supply conduit to the exit port. The diverter valve is adapted to change a rate of flow of liquid supplied to the exit port.

  • Patent number: 4836374
    Abstract: An attractive fabric covered fitted tool case includes a pair of platform members each having a multiplicity of pockets in their top wall to receive a multiplicity of tools, and relatively rigid support members under the platform members to provide structural support therefor. An elongated base sheet underlies the platform members and extends therebetween to provide a spacer section about which the platform members may be folded into abutting relationship in the closed position of the case. A fabric cover is provided on the outer surface of the base sheet and a releasable closure secures the tool case in closed position. The tool case may additionally include one or more pockets on its principal faces, and one of the pockets may include a pair of hanging rings which are pivotally mounted within a pocket so as to be able to be pivoted from a concealed position within the pocket to an exposed position for hanging the tool case.
