Abstract: An apparatus includes a compressor having an outlet. A U-shaped reservoir, having a substantially constant internal cross section, is in fluid communication with the outlet. The reservoir has two leg portions and a connecting portion, the compressor being located between the two leg portions wherein an overall dimension of the apparatus is reduced. This apparatus may be used for dispensing soft drinks, beer and the like. It is especially useful where the width of the compressor reservoir unit is critical.

Abstract: A hand-held, portable, cordless scrubber is disclosed which incorporates counter-rotating, scrubbing brushes detachably mounted on counter-rotating, concentric shafts. The scrubber housing is designed to prevent the entry of moisture and provides a pocket with a detachable cover for receiving a battery pack which can be recharged by direct plugging into an ordinary AC household receptacle. Both finger-actuated, handle-mounted switch and brush pressure actuated switch arrangements are provided. Snap-on pads, and the like, may also be employed.
