Abstract: A manually operated tool for simultaneously preparing a seed bed, feeding seed and dispersing the seed uniformly in the bed consists of a rake-like structure, the head of which is integrated with an appendage bearing enclosure for containing a supply of seed and for cooperating with the rake-like structure when manipulated to cause controlled scarifying of the ground and efficient and controlled feeding and dispersing of the seed.

Abstract: Device or apparatus for electrolyzing natural and synthetic brines for producing hypochlorite includes an improved chassis structure supporting and cooperating with electrode plates to form a series of electrolytic cells which are easily assembled into a cylindrical casing member to form an electrolyzer. The invention and/or apparatus is characterized by (a) rapid gas removal; (b) improved electrode plate configuration through which the electrolyte is caused to flow in a vigorous and turbulent manner to eliminate fouling of electrode arrays by precipitates and scales formed during electrolysis of natural brines; (c) novel dilution water distribution means for synthetic brine electrolysis; and (d) a series-parallel electrical conductor arrangement which is electrically balanced against changes in electrolyte temperature and salinity; all of which result in a highly efficient, economical, energy-saving, rugged, modular-type device.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for use as a suspension device for suspending one or more anodes and one or more reference cells inside metallic water tanks as a portion of a cathodic protection system for the water tank for the inhibition of corrosion in the tank. The apparatus is particularly adapted for use in the northern reaches of the earth's temperate zones, where ice forms in outdoor water tanks during the winter season. The apparatus is designed to maintain the anodes and reference cells suspended therefrom in the liquid portion of the water tank as ice forms at the top of the water, the bottom of the water and at the sides of the tank and to allow the anodes and reference cells to retain the ability to perform their function despite the ice.
