  • Patent number: 5495696
    Abstract: A unique water drain system is utilized for eliminating subgrade water which usually accumulates below ground level and causes cracks or leaks in the concrete foundation. The present system is uniquely designed to be used with permanent wood foundations. A basket-retainer is used to contain and prevent the spread of crushed stone out of position. The crushed stone allows the water to flow through it and to a drain tile. The retainer has a water-permeable membrane around or lined in it to prevent soil or debris from clogging up the crushed stone conduit.

  • Patent number: 4139133
    Abstract: A detachable pocket or enclosure especially adapted for use with wearing apparel such as a belt and comprising three panel members which may be folded into juxtaposed position with respect to one another so as to enclose money or the like in a safeguarded manner. The enclosure, in a fully folded condition, mounts on the inner surface of a user's belt by means of replaceable adhesive tabs whereby the enclosure may be utilized with any number of different belts. The adhesive fastening tabs extend through aligned apertures in the panel portion of the enclosure adjacent the belt's surface so as to be reversibly affixed to an interior panel surface of the enclosure. In this manner, the enclosure is both maintained in a closed disposition as well as retained in place against the belt's surface. The reversible attachment of the adhesive fastening means to an inner panel of the enclosure is provided, for example, by the utilization of Velcro material.
