| 20110303303 | TRAP-PRIMER SYSTEM FOR FLOOR DRAINS - A priming-water conduit from a sink water faucet unit to a floor drain p-trap is located between the faucet valve and the faucet water-outlet. The faucet valve controls water flow into said conduit, and, therefore, into said p-trap, without any other valve or control system. The priming-water conduit may be attached, and in fluid communication with, various structures of the faucet that are downstream of the faucet valve(s), such as: the mixing chamber of a mixing faucet; the water line from the mixing chamber to the faucet outlet/nozzle; or any water-containing structure that is downstream of the faucet valve. Each time the faucet is turned on, by means of the manual faucet valve, a portion of the water passing from the valve to the mixing chamber and/or by other routes to the faucet outlet/nozzle, will flow into the priming-water conduit and to the p-trap. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20100018359 | Tight-spot fitting and driver, and method of use thereof - A tight-spot fitting includes an elongated body configured to be inserted into and extracted from an aperture of a device, a user-operable head configured to be manipulated by a user to rotate the elongated body with respect to the aperture of the device, a depression in the user-operable head dimensioned and configured to receive a corresponding driver, and a through-bore extending through the elongated body and the user-operable head into the depression. The through-bore is configured and dimensioned to receive a line therethrough such that when the elongated body portion is inserted into the aperture, the line spans the aperture and through-bore, and extends through the depression. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20120184027 | POLYMER COMPOSITION FOR PHOTOBIOREACTORS - A polymer composition having a modified absorption and transmission characteristic particularly suited for photoreactors or photobioreactors made of plastic molded parts and exposed to sunlight or suitable artificial light sources, the polymer selectively comprises the following substances or a combination thereof in addition to the conventional standard additives: an inorganic or organic near infrared absorber for absorbing long-wavelength radiation, an inorganic or organic reflector for reflecting ultraviolet radiation, an inorganic or organic reflector for reflecting visible, near infrared, or infrared radiation, an optical brightener or fluorescent dye for converting the absorbed ultraviolet radiation into visible light or fluorescent light, a photochromic dye for modifying the transmission characteristic of the plastic molded part as a function of light intensity, and an antimicrobial additive for preventing or reducing organic deposits in the photobioreactor. The photobioreactor has a helically designed inner surface for efficiently mixing the reaction medium. | 07-19-2012 |

| 20100108718 | Dome pump spray assembly - A dome pump spray assembly employing a known structure of a liquid dome pump in association with a uniquely configured spray spout to achieve atomization of liquids such as soaps, sanitizers, disinfectants and the like. The spray spout includes a deflector which is in juxtaposition to a spout spray tip having angled partial depth passages therein that extend to a central tapered outlet orifice, the passages and orifices generating a vortex of cyclonic action that serves to achieve atomization of the liquid as it passes therethrough. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110056987 | DISPENSER WITH LOCKOUT DEVICE - A dispenser housing that receives a refill unit including a container and pump associated with the container to pump contents from the container. The dispenser housing includes an actuator carriage moveable between a rest position and an actuated position. The dispenser housing also includes a lockout device moveable between an open position and a closed position. When the lockout device is in the open position, the actuator carriage is movable, and, when the lockout device is in the closed position, movement of the actuator carriage is blocked by the lockout device such that the actuator carriage cannot be moved from the rest position to the actuated position. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110056990 | DISPENSER WITH COLLAPSIBLE DISPENSING TUBE - A dispenser includes a housing and a push bar movable between a rest position and an actuated position. A container is retained in the housing and holds a liquid, and a pump is associated with a liquid. The pump is actuated to dispense a dose of the liquid, when the push bar is moved from its rest position to its actuated position. A dispensing tube includes an inlet associated with the pump, an outlet associated with the push bar, and a bellows portion between the inlet and the outlet. Upon moving the push bar from its rest position to its actuated position, the bellows portion is collapsed from an expanded volume to a compressed volume, and the outlet of the dispensing tube moves with the push bar. Upon return of the push bar from the actuated position to the rest position, the bellows portion expands from the compressed volume to the expanded volume, and draws liquid at the tip of the dispensing tube into the dispensing tube to reduce or eliminate dripping. Pinch members are employed to pinch the dispensing tube closed to prevent product dripping therefrom when the dispenser is not in use. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110215115 | COUNTER MOUNTED DISPENSING SYSTEM WITH ABOVE-COUNTER REFILL UNIT - A counter-mounted dispensing system includes a refill housing mounted above a counter. A refill unit is selectively received in the refill housing in order to deliver a fluid within the refill unit to an end user. The refill unit includes a container holding fluid to be dispensed, and a pump communicating with the fluid in the container. A spout is also mounted above the counter and may be provided as part of the refill housing. An actuation unit having pump actuator mechanisms is mounted at a position below the counter. A passage extends through the counter, and the pump and the pump actuator mechanisms operatively communicate through the passage when the refill unit is installed in the refill housing. | 09-08-2011 |
