  • Publication number: 20080040847
    Abstract: The tool is “T” shaped with interior shafts upon which slightly larger tubular rollers rotate; two rollers on each side of the “T” shaft and two shorter terminal ends that are backward angled and adjustable. Interior shafts are made of tubular BSF-GP22, ABS sections and the outer rollers are made of ABS-SANTOPREME. The bottom of the “T” shaft is easily attached to any standard pool maintenance pole providing nearly frictionless removal of air pockets from beneath flexible pool covers designed to float flush upon the surface of pool water insuring optimum heating efficiency and avoidance of premature damage to the pool cover that may result from ultraviolet sun rays when pockets of air are allowed to remain between the bottom of the pool cover and the surface of the water.

  • Publication number: 20080016815
    Abstract: The Portable Nuclear Radioactive Fallout Protection Shelter & Preservation of Potable Water Storage System is comprised of self-supporting interlocking stackable radiation shielding watertight jugs having the dual purpose of being used to rapidly assemble fallout shelters and to store drinking water. The jugs are made of rigid neoprene, plastics, or similar substances that when filled with water and properly assembled omits radioactive gamma and X-rays. Wooden or metal support beams may be required when ceiling supports are necessary. The jugs may be filled using a common garden hose and be emptied by pouring water out of the water spouts that are also an integral part of the self supporting interlocking mechanisms and be drained by pouring water from the spouts or using a siphon hose or water pump. The system implements the construction of walls, modules, and complete protective shelters inside or outside of existing buildings.
