Abstract: An attachment (30) for the intake hose of a suc­tion cleaner (10) for dispensing liquid to the surface to be suctioned, near the intake to the suction nozzle (32).A liquid supply tank (60) is supported near the suction noz­zle (32). A valve (90) dispenses the liquid. In one embodi­ment (Figure 2), a surface engaging brush (110) or roller communicates with the valve (90). When the surface engaging element engages the surface, it opens the valve (90) to dispense liquid from the tank (60) to a liquid dispensing bar (101). A second embodiment (Figure 12) uses a float valve (170) which normally closes the communication between the inlet (234) to the valve (170) and the outlet from the valve (170) to the dispenser bar (301). An additional con­duit (192), communicates with the nozzle (32) to supply suction to the float valve (170), and when the suction in­let (234) to the suction nozzle (232) is partially obstruc­ted, e.g. against the surface being suctioned, this increa­ses the vacuum above the suction nozzle (232). The suction communicates through the additional conduit (192) to the float valve (170) to open the communication from the valve inlet (174) to the dispenser bar (301). A third embodiment (Figure 16) uses a pinch valve (507). When the valve (507) open, liquid flows downward over shelves in a progressively wider pattern until the liquid reaches the surface to be cleaned. The valve (507) is normally opened when the irri­gator rests on the surface to be cleaned. However, the pin­ch valve (507)can be locked in a closed position by a slide switch (517).

Title: Brace for a piece of furniture having several superimposed drawers.
Inventor: KRUSE DETLEV
IPC: E05B65/46
Filed: 1989-06-13
Abstract: The closing fitting for a drawer mounted slidably in a furniture body (10) is designed so that the drawer, when introduced over a short distance, is drawn into the closing position and is held in this position. The closing fitting is equipped with a rotatably mounted rotary slide (12) movable under the effect of a spring (14). When the drawer is being moved out, the rotary slide (12) is also moved by a switch projection (16) fastened to the drawer and at the same time is rotated over a part distance so far that the switch projection (16) comes out of engagement with the rotary slide (12) and the rotary slide is retained in the release position. When the drawer is being moved in, the switch projection (16) comes up against a stop projection (25) of the rotary slide, with the result that the rotary slide is moved back into the initial position under the spring effect in the opposite direction to the preceding movement, at the same time rotating in the opposite direction, and draws the drawer into the closing position. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for removing volatile organic compounds from air streams.
Inventor: RAFSON HAROLD J
IPC: B01D5/00
Filed: 1989-08-03
Abstract: Volatile organic compounds including hydrocarbons, halogenated compounds and other hazardous and toxic chemicals are removed from air streams by contacting the air with a suspension of tiny water droplets sized such that the droplets have an internal pressure significantly greater than atmospheric. The solubility of organic compounds in water droplets and their rate of transfer from an air stream to the droplets increases rapidly as the droplet internal pressure rises. After substantial transfer of volatile organic compounds from the air into the droplets is accomplished, the droplets are separated from the air stream and the resulting liquid effluent is disposed of in a manner which prevents escape of contained contaminant compounds.

Title: Compression of binary halftones
Inventor: PENNEBAKER WILLIAM BOONE
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 1990-01-30
Abstract: A system is described for reformatting halftone data for compression, wherein an original bilevel image is reformatted to produce another bilevel image that allows vertical correlations to be recognized by the compression technique, thus improving compressibility dramatically, with particular suitability for facsi­mile transmissions. In reformatting it is assumed that a selected halftone frequency H will satisfactorily describe an entire document, and each of successive sets of H consecutive lines are concatenated to form respective single lines. The thus reformatted lines have a clearer halftone periodicity offering greater correlation and permit more efficient coding by well-known standard bilevel compression algorithms (e.g., CCITT G3 (MR) or G4 (MMR)). For an image with unknown pattern frequency, a technique for readily estimating the frequency for use in reformatting the image is described.

Abstract: Compensation is made for inherent lateral shifting of portions of a pivoted working surface along a work surface, when the pivot point of the working surface is maintained on a line of feed into contact with said work surface, during relative pivoting of said working surface into conformity with said work surface. The working surface is supported by a quadrilateral linkage system having a remote instantaneous center point which, during pivoting of the working surface, is maintained substantially on a quiescent centerline of the linkage system. By spacing the pivot point of the working surface from this center point along the centerline, the pivot point is caused to move laterally of the centerline during exercising of the linkage system. The distance and direction of spacing the pivot point from the center point is selectable so as to cancel the inherent lateral shifting referred above. A preferred embodiment of the invention maintains the working surface in the tilted position of conformity with the work surface during subsequent withdrawal of the working surface therefrom.

Abstract: A machine and washer (18) for fastening one or more layers of roofing material (12) to an underlayment, includes a chute (50) which receives a stack of washers (18), a shuttle (70) which displaces a single washer (18′) to a separated position when moves in one direction, to which the shuttle is biased and releases the single washer (18′) when moves oppositely, and a gate (80), which cooperates with camming surfaces (18b) on the respective washers (18), restrains the overlying washer (18˝) in the stack (S) against being displaced with the single washer (18′) and restrains the single washer (18′) from being displaced from the separated position. Various components are provided by linking a stand-up screw gun (160 Figure 1) of a known type to the shuttle. The stackable washer (18) is embossed (352,354,356,358) so that each such washer and like overlying and underlying washers in a stack contact each other at three or more places, which define tangent planes intersecting planes defined by planar areas on such washers at angles more than 45° but less than 90° whereby such washers are spaced from each other around their entire peripheries (306) (Figures 22 and 23). Notches (64,66) in the washers (18) cooperate with ribs (60,62) in the chute (50) to ensure that a stack (S) of the washers is orineted properly when fitted into the chute (50).
