Abstract: Automatic swimming pool cleaning systems are disclosed. The systems include an automatic swimming pool cleaner incorporating one or more curved wipers protruding from its lower surface. The wipers and flat bottom of the cleaner induce a vortex as fluid flows to its central inlet, entraining debris in the flow. A fluted throat surrounding the inlet additionally assists the interior of the base of the cleaner in retaining debris when opened for cleaning, additionally providing an improved flow path for enhanced debris pick-up. Also disclosed is a valve useful for controlling and indicating the rate of fluid flow to a cleaner. Included within the valve is a plunger attached to a spring, with the spring force opposing fluid flow through the valve. Flow sufficient to overcome the spring force compresses the spring, however, thereby moving the plunger within the tube and providing a dynamic indication of the rate of fluid flow. A diffuser and fluid release ports permit the valve to be adjusted to achieve a desired flow rate.

Abstract: A device for regulating liquid levels by means of the controlled supply of air into a closed vessel (Fig. 1-3, item 2) by scanning two filling levels. A liquid level can be regulated at least two levels by a control pipe (Fig. 1-3, item 3), through which air flows in, which is connected with the upper part of a vessel (Fig. 1+3, item 2) which has a narrow aperture through which the liquid can flow out. If the air supply is interrupted, no further liquid flows out. If the air is taken in at two different levels (Fig. 1, items 11, 12), e.g. the liquid outlet (Fig. 2, item 12) and the connecting aperture of the control line (Fig. 1-3, item 11), the surface of the liquid rises to the upper level (Fig. 1, item level 2). If, however, the control line aperture is closed by an outside influence (Fig. 1, item 10), the level rises only as far as the lower aperture (Fig. 1, item level 1). When used for an air humidifier, the capillary medium (Fig. 1-4, item 7), which acts as the user, conveys the liquid (water) from top of bottom. The water dripping from the bottom is collected in a tray (Fig. 1-3, item 8) and closes the control line (Fig. 1-3, item 4). To accelerate this process, a capillary intensifier can be fitted in the control tray (Fig. 4) which extracts the water more quickly from the vessel (Fig. 1-4, item 9) through differing channel lengths (Fig. 4, item L1/L3) and the greater force of gravity of the channel length L3.
