Patent number: RE29624Abstract: This invention relates to a fluid-distribution apparatus in which one main fluid inlet flow is divided substantially equally between a number of outlets for example as the feeding of a plurality of burners on a gas turbine engine from a single fuel supply. At low total flow rates the difference in height of the various outlets can adversely effect the equality of distribution of liquid between the outlets and it is known to provide a restrictor in series with each outlet to improve the flow division between the outlets. However, where there is a large range of flow rates, the simple restrictors which are effective at low flow rates will cause a very substantial pressure loss at high flow rates. Further a simple restrictor essentially involves a passage of small cross-section which can become blocked by solid particles within the liquid.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1977Date of Patent: May 9, 1978Assignee: Dowty Fuel Systems LimitedInventor: Ronald Rimmer

Patent number: 4087871Abstract: A ventilated toilet has a toilet bowl and a toilet seat hingedly mounted on the toilet bowl. A blower is mounted in a casing and includes a blower housing which has inlet and outlet ports at the inlet and outlet sides of the blower. The blower is mounted in the casing for pivoting between two positions in one of which a channel which extends between the blower housing and the internal space of the toilet bowl communicates with the inlet port so that the blower withdraws air from the internal space, and another position in which the channel communicates with the outlet port so that the blower forces air, which may be heated during its passage through the channel, into the internal space of the toilet bowl. The port which does not communicate with the channel simultaneously communicates with the ambient atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1976Date of Patent: May 9, 1978Assignee: MFB Neuwerk Mechanische Fensterbehaenge GmbHInventor: Johannes Benthin
