Title: Grade-aid
Inventor: JACKSON ROBERT EUGENE
IPC: E01C23/02
Filed: 1996-12-24
Abstract: Asphalt patching for pot holes and the edges of the road broken away from faulty road bases, weather conditions or just deterioration of the roads due to age usually require men shoveling and then raking the material needed from a Hopper attached to the back of a truck or a self contained machine known as a One-man Patcher to repair the roads.  Gravel on the shoulders of paved roads often need to be replaced due to erosion and weather conditions such as wash-outs.  This requires a Grader and one or two gravel trucks or men shoveling and then raking the material needed from a Hopper attached to the back of a truck. Many roads are still gravel roads and require constant maintenance.  In many instances, men with shovels and rakes are required to repair bad holes with gravel to make the road passable until a Grader is available.  In this invention, a unit is attached to the side of a truck with sanding capabilities.  The materials required to repair the road are delivered to the unit by way of hydraulic driven chain and chute.  The unit then spreads the material to the predetermined set depth and then the dual back wheels of the truck pack the material.

Abstract: Selon un procédé d'extraction électrolytique s'effectuant dans une cuve où circule une solution de galvanoplastie contenant de l'acide sulfurique, un système de couvercle à éléments multiples (R) s'applique au-dessous des branchements des conducteurs d'électrodes et au-dessus de la surface du bain électrolytique (B). L'air est chassé de ce couvercle au niveau des interstices (P) situés au-dessous du couvercle et au-dessus du bain, à un débit dépassant le rapport stoechiométrique et, de ce fait, toute fuite s'effectue vers l'intérieur du volume situé au-dessus du bain, ce qui empêche l'aérosol d'acide de s'échapper. Le débit d'évacuation est limité, de façon à conserver l'humidité sous le couvercle et au-dessus de la surface du bain, afin d'empêcher la formation de cristaux provenant de la sursaturation de gouttelettes d'aérosol. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, du gaz s'évacue au-dessus d'un déversoir circulaire (W) vers un couloir d'écoulement. L'entraînement de l'air au-dessus du déversoir et vers l'intérieur du couloir d'écoulement permet un pompage suffisant.

Title: Automatic swimming pool cleaners and associated components
Inventor: BARTON GRAHAM M
IPC: E04H4/16
Filed: 1995-10-24
Abstract: Automatic swimming pool cleaning systems are disclosed. The systems include an automatic swimming pool cleaner (10) incorporating one or more curved wipers (30) protruding from its lower surface. The wipers (30) and flat bottom (34) of the cleaner (10) induce a vortex as fluid flows to its central inlet (50) entraining debris in the flow. A fluted throat (102A) surrounding the inlet (50) additionally assists the interior of the base of the cleaner (10) in retaining debris when opened for cleaning, additionally providing an improved flow path for enhanced debris pick-up. Also disclosed is a valve (200) useful for controlling and indicating the rate of fluid flow to a cleaner (10).  Included within the valve (200) is a plunger (203) attached to a spring (202), with the spring force opposing fluid flow through the valve (200). Flow sufficient to overcome the spring force compresses the spring (202), however thereby moving the plunger (203) within the tube (201) and providing a dynamic indication of the rate of fluid flow. A diffuser (206) and fluid release ports (204A) permit the valve (200) to be adjusted to achieve a desired flow rate.

Abstract: A combination is provided herein to enable a vehicle to traverse ground covered by any type of plant with a minimum of damage resulting thereto.  The combination is generally formed as a wheel(s), or endless flexible belt, or a ground contacting device to be mounted on an existing wheel, wherein each is provided with ground contacting points that are of various shapes and have a proximal end for mounting and a somewhat rounded or flattened distal end for displacing the plants as the apparatus is moved forward.  The ground contacting points also generally include trailing and leading surfaces that generally converge as they extend away from the mounting end.  The sloping of the leading surface prevents the plants from hooking on the ground contacting points as they rise out of contact with the plants.          The side surface of the ground contacting points also generally converge as they extend away from the mounting end.  These ground contacting points provide a support area to avoid full penetration of the ground and thereby leave a clearance between the ground and their mounting surface.  The ground contacting points as mounted can have various spacings.  With the ground clearance and contact point spacing there is provided a free space area for the majority of plants engaged to be forced into and thereby escape damage.
