Abstract:
A portable holding and mixing tank system for at least two dissimilar liquids includes a tank having an interior space and a dividing wall which establishes at least two fluid-isolated holding compartments within the tank interior space for respectively holding a respective one of the dissimilar liquids. A manifold assembly defines respective channels for the dissimilar liquids and for pressurizing fluid supplied from a source thereof. The liquid and pressurizing fluid channels are fluid-connected to each of the holding compartments. A pressurizing supply conduit fluid-connects the source of pressurizing fluid to pressurizing fluid channel, while liquid supply risers respectively fluid-connect the dissimilar liquids contained in each of the holding compartments to the liquid channel defined by the manifold assembly. A liquid discharge port fluid-connects the liquid channel defined by the manifold assembly. As a result, the dissimilar liquids within each of the holding compartments are forcibly introduced by means of the pressurizing fluid therewithin into the liquid channel defined by the manifold assembly and are mixed with one another within the liquid channel prior to discharge through the discharge port.

Abstract:
An acid-dye and coffee stain resistant carpet has sheath/core bicomponent face fibers affixed in a backing material and bound thereto. The face fibers have a core of a first polyamide component and a sheath which substatially or completely covers the core of a second polyamide component which is inherently chemically compatible with the first polyamide component. In an uncolored state, the carpet has a red drink staining depth of less than 15 CIE DELTA E units and a coffee staining depth of less than about 10 CIE DELTA E units.
Abstract:
A longitudinally bisected storage drum (10) includes a pair of hemi-cylindrical drum segments (12, 14) each being formed by a pair of semicircular end panels (12a, 14a, 12b, 14b) which are joined to, and spaced-apart by, a side wall having a hemi-cylindrical wall section (12c, 14c) and a substantially rectangular planar wall section (12d, 14d). The planar wall section of one drum segment defines a longitudinally oriented re-entrant groove (14e) which unites with a longitudinally oriented tongue (12e) protruding from the planar wall section of the other drum segment. Therefore, when the tongue and groove are united with one another, an overall cylindrical drum structure will result. The closely adjacent planar wall sections of each drum segment establish a diametrical parting plane when the tongue and groove are united with one another while the hemi-cylindrical wall segments are provided with longitudinally spaced-apart and outwardly protruding pairs of roll stops (12g, 14g, 12h, 14h) close to this parting plane. Thus, by simply reversing the vertical orientation of bungholes (12j, 14j) formed in each of the upper end panels (e.g., by rolling the drum along its cylindrical side wall until it rests upon the other set of roll stops), the contents within the hemi-cylindrical drum segments can selectively be dispensed by positioning that segment's bunghole in the lower vertical position relative to the other bunghole.
