Abstract: A cradle type structure is used to protect a cylindrical spray nozzle device from being crushed when both are buried in a trench in the ground. The cradle can be a three sided sheet of stainless steel that is open at the top. Brackets can connect the sides together for enhanced resistance to deformation. The top of the structure has a stainless steel lid that is hinged to the top of one of the sides. The lid protects the spray nozzle, but when the nozzle is spraying, the force of the water will push the lid up and out of the way of the spray.

Abstract: An automatic fluid spray system includes a water pump fluidly connected to a water source, a return conduit positioned to allow water exiting the water pump to return to the water source, and a spray line comprising a conduit and a plurality of spray elements. The automatic fluid spray system also has a valve that allows water exiting the water pump to either return to the water source or enter the spray line and one or more temperature sensors in electrical communication with a control circuit. The control circuit is electrically connected to the valve and configured to move the valve to supply water to the spray line when a temperature of at least 150° F. is detected by the one or more temperature sensors.

Abstract: A system for absorbing impact energy includes a container formed with a plurality of faces, wherein the container is attached to a vehicle. An energy-absorbing material is substantially contained within the container. At least one elongated member having a proximate end and a distal end is included, wherein the proximate end is proximate to a first face of the container. A long axis of the at least one elongated member may intersect the first face. A bumper may be connected to the distal end of the at least one elongated member.

Abstract: A container formed with a plurality of faces. An energy absorbing material is within the container. A plate is located within the container. An elongated member having a proximate end and a distal end is located with the proximate end of the elongated member proximate to the plate. A first bumper is integral with the distal end of the elongated member. A first engagement mechanism is proximate to the plate, wherein the engagement mechanism has a first position that fixes the plate to the elongated member and a second position that uncouples the plate from the elongated member. A first sensor is located to quantify a collision force on said first bumper. The sensor communicates with the first engagement mechanism whereby the position of the engagement mechanism is dependent on a quantity of the collision force sensed.
