  • Publication number: 20240398148
    Abstract: A beverage extractor includes a container, a pouring port, a filter unit, and an operation shaft. The filter unit is movable in a top-bottom direction while inscribed in the filter unit. The filter unit includes a filter part and a wall part. The filter part allows a beverage stored in the container to pass therethrough. The wall part is located closer to the pouring port than the filter part. In tilting the container and pouring the beverage through the pouring port into a cup, an over-extracted liquid accumulated under the filter unit is intercepted with the wall part. This makes it possible to suppress pouring of the over-extracted liquid into the cup.

  • Publication number: 20240398182
    Abstract: The device comprises a toilet seat and a toilet seat cover that are both initially in an “up” position. A user can lower the toilet seat by stepping on a foot lever, which is part of a pedal mechanism including a foot lever, lever support, gas spring, extension spring, and chain for tension adjustment. The pedal mechanism facilitates the controlled movement of the toilet seat to a “down” position around the toilet bowl. Additionally, a flush treadle allows for the toilet flushing process by stepping on the same, which in turn pulls a metal cord connected to the toilet flapper, causing the toilet to flush. The device may also be comprised of at least one UV light in the toilet seat cover for sanitizing the toilet seat, activated when the seat is raised, with a power supply regulated by a time delay relay for automatic shutoff.

    Abstract: A high-power slurry vacuum cart is well suited to collect and contain any slurry or wet residue produced through concrete and other surface processing operations. A multi-horsepower propane engine and propane tank are mounted on a mobile frame, along with a suction pump powered by the propane engine. A slurry containment vessel mounted on the frame has an input in communication with a squeegee and an output coupled to the suction pump. The squeegee may be adapted for floor contact to collect slurry for transfer to the slurry containment tank. The suction pump is directly coupled to the propane engine through a universal joint, thereby obviating the use of belts, chains or pulleys. The output of the pump may optionally be used as an air blower for surface drying, or the like, as well as use as an air blower to assist in emptying the slurry containment tank.
