Abstract: The retractable conduit of the invention comprises a sheet of memory-set polyester (4) formed as a conduit. To manufacture the memory-set strip, the polyester sheet (4) is wound into the desired retracted, e.g. coiled, position, heated and cooled. After this process the sheet of polyester will automatically assume the retracted position. In one embodiment, suitable as a splashblock, the distal end (47) of the polyester sheet (46) is wider than the end (48) attachable to a downspout (49). In another embodiment the polyester sheet (4) is sheathed in an elongated polyethylene tube (2), to form a retractable hose. In a preferred embodiment, the distal end of the hose is supported on a spool (14) which will roll along the ground as the hose is wound and unwound to further ensure that the hose retracts properly. The tube can also be provided with holes (18) to act as a sprinkler if desired.

Abstract: A pump cylinder (18) is driven in reciprocation relative to a hollow piston (22) within the cylinder. The piston and cylinder each have valved inlet ports (33, 34; 43, 44) at each end. A tubular member (14) communicates with the hollow of the piston centrally between the piston ends and extends perpendicular to the piston, serving further as a stationary pivot for oscillation of the piston while the cylinder is driven in a swinging reciprocation relative to the piston. The tubular member extends through and works relative to a slot (19) formed through the cylinder wall so that reciprocation of the cylinder pumps a fluid along a flow path through the valved inlet ports and along said tubular member. The cylinder is driven at low speed by a motor (15) through a gear box (16) rigidly secured to a tubular frame (71) of the pump. A number of piston and cylinder devices may be driven by a common drive means, and employ a common tubular member, in a modular arrangement. The pump is simple, reliable and quiet, and is effective to provide small quantities of air at low pressure, e.g. for aeration at isolated effluent. treatment plants and at fish farms.
Abstract translation: 泵缸(18)相对于气缸内的中空活塞(22)往复运动。 活塞和气缸各自在每个端部具有阀门入口端口(33,34; 43,44)。 管状构件(14)在活塞端部之间中心地与活塞的中空部连通并垂直于活塞延伸,作为静止枢轴用于在活塞相对于活塞摆动往复运动的同时驱动活塞。 管状构件相对于通过气缸壁形成的狭槽(19)延伸并且工作,使得气缸的往复运动沿流动路径泵送通过阀门入口并沿着所述管状构件的流体。 气缸通过马达(15)以低速驱动,通过刚性地固定到泵的管状框架(71)的齿轮箱(16)。 许多活塞和气缸装置可以由共同的驱动装置驱动,并且以模块化的方式使用共同的管状构件。 该泵是简单,可靠和安静的,并且有效地在低压下提供少量的空气,例如, 用于在分离的污水处理厂和养鱼场进行曝气。

Abstract: Granules of plastics material have grains of an inert mineral such as sand coated thereon to provide a habitat for microorganisms effective in waste water treatment, the granules having a predetermined particle size range, and the grains having a predetermined particle size range and being disposed at a predetermined packing density range on the granules. The particles have an average density of approximately 1.0 g/cc such that a proportion tend to float and a proportion tend to sink in the waste water. The particles are manufactured by contacting the granules of plastics material with a mixture of grains of the inert mineral and grains of a soluble substance such as salt, at an elevated temperature, to coat the granules with the mixture, and subsequently dissolving the soluble substance grains from the coating to provide the granules coated with the grains of inert mineral in the predetermined packing density range.

Abstract: A loose particulate material for use in waste water treatment comprises granules of plastics material carrying weighting material so that the granules have an average density of approximately 1.0 g/cc. At least a portion of the weighting material is carried within the granules and the surfaces of the granules are provided with concavities to provide a habitat for organisms effective in waste water treatment. The particles are manufactured by incorporating a weighting material into the granules, contacting the granules with grains of a soluble substance of an elevated temperature to coat the granules with the soluble substance grains and subsequently dissolving the soluble substance grains.

Abstract: A treatment vessel (50) contains a fluidizable bed (70) of loose particulate material comprising particles of sharp sand adhered to granules of polyethylene to provide a habitat for microorganisms effective in wastewater treatment. The material has a desired density slightly greater than 1.0 g/cc, a specific surface area in excess of 600 m /m , and a particule size range of about 3 mm to 10 mm. The bed and wastewater is fluidized and aerated by air bubbles emitted from self-sealing aerators (71) disposed at the base of the bed and arranged for placement and removal from above the water level. The loose material can rest directly on the aerator surface.

Abstract: A flexible, retractable assembly for use as a door, space divider, covering or the like which comprises a sheet (20) such as Mylar TM polyester film having a permanent memory set to roll up on itself or otherwise retract automatically into a coil (42), accordion, or other compact configuration. The assembly is adapted to be stored on one side of an opening and then guided across the opening to fully or partially cover the opening. The permanent memory set of the sheet permits it to retract at least partially under its own force to eliminate or minimize the need for separate rewinding apparatus. The sheet may substitute for a variety of standard products including entryway doors, closet, cabinet and shower doors, screen doors and windows, room dividers, machinery guards and covers for various items such as fluorescent light fixtures. The sheet may be combined with decorative finishes including a tambour composite structure providing aesthetic and functional advantages.
