Abstract: Fixed systems and method for extinguishing large scale industrial tank fires, with and without fixed roofs, and featuring aerated foam projecting nozzles and including fixed center directed nozzles.

Abstract: The disclosed hose hanger apparatus is manually installable on a gas supply hose to secure and retain an end of the gas supply hose when the hose is disconnected from a gas appliance. The hose hanger apparatus is configured to engage with and protect a quick disconnect female coupler installed on the end of the gas supply hose. The hose hanger apparatus is also configured to engage with and accept a male quick disconnect nipple when installed in an opposite orientation on the gas supply hose.

Abstract: An indoor/outdoor lamp that can be used outdoors in inclement weather having an exterior tubular body housing that is constructed from a conventional flexible garden hose. The lamp has an interior rigid vertical support member and a base member mounted inside said flexible conventional garden hose tubular housing to support the lamp above the ground or floor vertically. The lamp also has a light source fixture containing a light source, said light source fixture shaped like a garden hose manually actuated water spray nozzle emitting light through a clear cover. In an alternate embodiment, the lamp includes a manually actuated clamp at the free end for attachment to a conventional object.

Abstract: A collection apparatus is provided for collecting waste water from cleaning operations performed on aircraft turbine engines. It comprises a frame structure having a pivotally mounted support arm. An actuator device is arranged to rise and lower the support arm between an essentially horizontal transport position to an operative position. A flexible duct is provided with an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end of the flexible duct is pivotally attached to the support arm so as to be movable around at least a horizontal axis.

Abstract: A flat panel display remote-controlled viewing angle adjustment system (1) comprising a support assembly (2) for supporting a flat panel display (9), an electrical driving assembly for driving the support assembly (2), and an angular control assembly attached to the support assembly (2). The adjustable system (1) is configured such that when the electrical driving assembly is started, the flat panel display (9) is rotated about a vertical axis that passes through one of the left side and the right side of the flat panel display (9) and only when the flat panel display (9) returns to zero angle position can it rotate about a vertical axis that passes through the other of the left side and the right side of the flat panel display (9).

Abstract: A system including an overhead cable pathway structure and a cable storage device that mounts overhead to the cable pathway structure. The cable storage device including a storage spool and a cable pathway exit having a curved surface that guides excess cable exiting from the overhead cable pathway structure to the spool.

Abstract: A stowable device for ejecting fluids onto the underside and wheel regions of a vehicle includes a base member joined at one end to a handle member such that the angle between the members can be controllably varied and retained at a desired angle. A source of fluid is coupled through flexible tubing terminating in a fluid jet disposed adjacent the base member distal end. The desired angle is determined by a length of cord extending from base to handle member. The exposed cord length is user-controllable by lockably spooling excess cord length into a rotatable spool reservoir attached to the handle member. User-adjustment of the desired angle also determined handle height above ground. Alternatively, the desired angle (and handle height above ground) is user-determined by adjusting effective length of a rigid rod.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus for use in neurosurgery, and to a method of positioning neurosurgical apparatus. The stereoguide comprises first and second guide elements through which instruments are passed along an axis of insertion towards a target and a first clamp (25) having a clamping position on the axis between the guide elements and the target.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air hose holding device, particularly useful to people using air hoses while working on roof tops. During use, the base of the device is fixed to a mounting surface, such as a roof, with as few as two nails. The hose is then passed through an aperture in the device. An adjustable slip latch mounted above the aperture has a half-circle cut into it. By moving and fixing the adjustable slip latch closer to or farther away from the aperture, the adjustable slip latch covers more or less of the aperture, and the half-circle completes the circular shape of the aperture to make the aperture smaller or larger. Thus, different size hoses may be held in place with the single device. The device need only be mounted once for an entire job, since the hose may be pulled through and held at different lengths within the aperture of the device, by simply adjusting the slip latch.

Abstract: An endotracheal tube holder has a body which is secured by a pair of non-stretchable, head encircling straps to overlie the patient's mouth and portions of the cheeks. The straps, which are adapted to extend, one above and the other below, the patient's ears, have one-way tightening adjustability by pawl action. The body is integrally molded to incorporate a quick-acting clamp having three integral hinges, one hinge pivotally connecting a pair of jaws of the clamp and the other two hinges supporting the jaws from resilient arms for snap-action between open and closed positions. The clamp is operative to secure or release the endotracheal tube while the straps retain the body in position on the mouth against dislodgment.
