Abstract: The insert with a rotating mesh for aerators in sanitary fixtures consists of the housing (1) of an insert, the rotating screen (5) and o-ring (6). The housing (1) of an insert has at its bottom part i.e. at the water outlet of the sanitary fixture, two bearings (2) made, the rim (4) for installing a flat sealing between the sanitary fixture and the body of aerator. The rotating mesh (5) has on its rim circumference, preferentially at the most extended part of the rotating mesh (5), i.e. at the extension of diameter of the mesh (5) two axles (7) positioned which fit into the bearings (2) in the housing (1) of the insert, and serve for axle fixing the rotating mesh (5) and thus enabling the rotation of the rotating mesh (5) around the axles (7); the rotating mesh (5) has on its outer circumference, in the upper part, a groove (11) cut, in which o-ring seal (6) is installed for sealing the rotating mesh (5) to the housing (1) of the insert. Optionally, the rotating mesh (5) can include on its circumference, i.
Abstract: A lid assembly including a cover member for attachment to a container, the cover including first and second apertures providing access to contents of the container; a drinking member having a bore there through, the drinking member pivotal between a first closed position wherein the drinking member seals the first aperture and a second open position wherein the bore is aligned with the first aperture to allow contents of the container to pass through the first aperture and the drinking member; and a closure member pivotal between a first closed position wherein the closure member seals the second aperture and a second open position wherein the second aperture is exposed to allow contents of the container to pass there through.
Abstract: A pop-up bubbler assembly for drinking fountains or other appliances that includes a head with a dispensing spout that rises upward out of a housing to dispense an arc of clean water when activated. The bubbler head then drops back down into the housing after water flow stops such that the dispensing spout is covered when not in use.
Abstract: An air freshener device includes a scent material interspersed within a polymer body or a polymer gel, and capable of dispersing out of the polymer gel. The polymer body and a polymer gel can be flexible and compressible, and also resilient and returnable to its original configuration. In addition, the polymer body and the polymer gel can have a freestanding, self-supported, three-dimensional shape. The air freshener can include a tacky or clingy attachment surface to contact and cling to a support surface by mechanical or specific adhesion.
