Abstract: A vaporization capsule including a liquid active agent absorbed in or adsorbed to a substrate, which may be operated so as to vaporize the liquid active agent. The vaporization capsule includes a capsule body defining a first volume and a second volume. A first cover sealingly engages the capsule body at a first end thereof. The first cover includes an exterior perimeter, an interior wall including a hollow defined between the exterior perimeter and the interior wall portion, and at least one indentation disposed in the interior wall portion, fluidly connecting the first volume and the second volume via the hollow.

Abstract: A system, capsule, and method for storage and delivery of an active agent for treatment of an object.

Abstract: A device for aerating or mixing a body of water has a mechanical displacer driven by connection to a hydraulic motor such that a flow of liquid supplied to the inlet moves the mechanical displacer so as to displace water of the body of water. The device may be supported by floats or mounted on a fixed structure. The device is preferably actuated b a flow of water delivered via tubing from a pump located remotely from the body of water, thereby avoiding, the wet-environment shock hazard of electrically driven aerators and mixers.

Abstract: An automated toilet seat assembly includes a motorized actuation mechanism for raising and/or lowering a toilet seat Independent spring arrangements are preferably deployed so as to independently counterbalance the seat and lid, thereby minimizing the load on the motor even when lifting both the seat and the lid together.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is an engine that is actuated by a fluid under pressure, preferably water, and comprises one or more oscillating, connecting-rod assemblies (13), including a cylinder (14) and a piston (15), and at least one or more cranks (16) driven by the connecting-rod assemblies (13). For each connecting-rod assembly (13), a preferably stationary valve (20) controls the feed and the discharge of the pressure fluid to and from it, synchronically with the angular position of the corresponding crank (10), and acts as the pivot about which connecting-rod assembly (13) oscillates. The engine can be applied for producing mechanical work in any apparatus, for example in sprinklers, concrete mixers, apparatus for winding cables or garden hose reels, and so on, or for the production of electrical energy. The actuating fluid can be used, after its discharge from the engine, for purposes for which high pressure is not required.

Abstract: A freestanding combination sink and hose reel that can be arranged in a compact storage configuration. In the compact storage configuration, the overall dimensions of the workstation are similar to the outer dimensions of the sink element. The rotatable hose reel is configured so as to In a preferred embodiment, the hose reel is configured with flanges that include a foldable section, thereby decreasing the peripheral contour of the hose reel thereby allowing for a hose reel with a flange diameter that is only slightly less than the interior length of the sink basin.

Abstract: A hose-reel assembly includes a reel with foldable flange portions to allow compact shipping and storage in a pre-assembled state. The reel is rotatably mounted on a support frame which either stacks with similar frames or has selectively deployable legs to allow packaging of the assembly in a rectangular box of height less than the reel diameter.

Abstract: An organizing cabinet for storing relatively small, loose items in sorted fashion configured to facilitate sorting and storing of the items. The organizing cabinet features a cabinet holding a plurality of storage bins and a sorting plate disposed at an upper portion of the cabinet. The sorting plate is pivotally connected to the cabinet at a pivot axis. The sorting plate has a flat sorting surface and a retaining wall extending along the sorting surface. The retaining wall extends generally parallel to or aligned with the pivot axis and has a dispensing port formed through which sorted items are poured either directly into a selected receptacle or into a user's hand simply by pivoting the sorting plate upwardly about the pivot axis.

Abstract: A sawhorse comprises a base assembly including a first base member and a second base member. The first base member has a first top end, and the second base member has a second top end. The second base member is pivotally connected at the second top end to the first top end of the first base member. The first and second bases members are pivotally movable between a folded storage position and an extended operative position. A vertically extendible top member is constructed and arranged to be adjustably mounted in varying vertical positions with respect to the base assembly. The extendible top member includes an elongated, laterally extending top element constructed and arranged to support a workpiece, and a pair of elongated extension elements that are constructed and arranged to be adjustably engaged at varying vertical positions relative to the base assembly so as to adjust the height of the top element.

Abstract: An add-on barrier for a wheelbarrow for expanding the volume capacity of the wheelbarrow, the barrier comprising a substantially rectangular baseless frame having substantially vertically disposed walls, the frame including a plurality of legs for mounting the frame over the wheelbarrow, the frame further including a plurality of integral hinged bag retainers for retaining a bag in an expanded volume formed by volume contributions of the wheelbarrow and the frame.

Abstract: A wheelbarrow includes a container, a pair of handles rigidly connected to the container, and a support system including at least one wheel assembly for supporting the container. The container has a longitudinal-vertical plane of symmetry. Each of the handles extends in an extensional direction angled rearwardly outwards such that, in a horizontal projection, the extensional direction forms an angle of between about 65° and about 85° with the plane of symmetry.

Abstract: A wheel assembly attached to, or integrally formed with, the underside of an object for allowing the object to roll in one of at least two rolling directions includes a fixture and a wheel. The fixture has a first pair of spaced-apart axle mountings defining between them a first axial direction perpendicular to a first rolling direction, and a second pair of spaced-apart axle mountings defining between them a second axial direction perpendicular to a second rolling direction. The wheel has an axial projection extending from each side. The axle mountings and the axial projections are configured such that the wheel can be located with the axial projections retained by the first pair of axle mountings for allowing the object to roll in the first rolling direction, and alternatively, with the axial projections retained by the second pair of axle mountings for allowing the object to roll in the second rolling direction.

Abstract: An accessory for a bathtub adapted to fit over the side wall of the tub for convenient access to soaps, shampoos and other bath items. The bath accessory is telescopically adjustable to fit over bath walls of different widths and removable for storage. The accessory tray includes a pair of similar halves telescopically connected for adjustment. In a preferred embodiment, each half includes a well to hold bottles and the like while also creating depth extending down the bath wall for stability. Additional features may include a soap tray and pegs for additional bath items.
