Abstract: The disclosure relates to a connector joint that consists of separable elements that may be either locked in axial alignment or permitted to pivot relative to each other. The preferred embodiment disclosed utilizes a tubular receiving sleeve with a radius flared socket as one element and tubular pin carrying housing having a partially spherical head of a size corresponding to that of the sleeve.

Abstract: A flow regulator of novel construction is placed across a pump as part of a parallel circuit and enables tapping the principal flow without loss of pumping pressure or introduction of air, subdividing the tapped flow for use in an auxilliary circuit, and/or recombining the flow from an auxilliary circuit with the principal flow. The regulator is formed by a plurality of interconnected passages containing adjustable valve members and separated in part by orifice plates.

Abstract: An improved electrolytic hypochlorite generator for use in water treatment. A low pressure capillary flow enables the use of low cost corrosive resistant plastic components, while the need to extend the electrodes beyond the electrolyte level in the electrolytic cell to prevent corrosion of the electrical connections is eliminated by the use of water repellent impregnated electrical connectors. Furthermore, by eliminating this need to extend the electrodes beyond the electrolyte level in the electrolytic cell, a more compact unit can be constructed, and the deterioration that normally occurs at the point at which the electrodes would emerge from the electrolyte is prevented.
