Abstract:
An improved manually operated plant watering device is provided for watering plants in hard to reach places. The plant watering device includes an elongate hollow tube, flexible hose, and nozzle. Located within the hollow tube is a piston manually controlled by a handle for drawing water to within the elongate hollow tube or for projecting water from the elongate hollow tube through the flexible hose and nozzle. In a preferred embodiment, the plant watering device includes an extension pipe for extending the overall length of the plant watering device. Furthermore, preferably the plant watering device includes an impedance valve for impeding unwanted flow of water from the plant watering device.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser comprising: an entraining gas reservoir (10) provided with actuating means (12null) suitable for pressurizing the gas contained in the reservoir; a fluid reservoir (3); and a dispensing orifice (21) serving to pass a mixture made up of entraining gas and of fluid; the fluid reservoir (3) being separated from the gas reservoir (10) by a partition (31null; 31nullnull), said partition being permeable to the gas and impermeable to the fluid, so that the pressurized gas penetrates into the fluid reservoir (3) through the partition, and entrains the fluid with it towards the dispensing orifice, characterized in that the fluid is urged towards the dispensing orifice by thrust means (32null, 32nullnull) so that fluid is always present at the dispensing orifice.
Abstract:
A granular pump that includes a dispersion reservoir, a primary reservoir, a manual air pump, and a one-way valve. The user aims the granular pump in the direction of the area to be sprayed with the granular material contained in the granular pump and operates the manual air pump to force a pneumatic pulse through the one-way valve into the dispersion reservoir. The pneumatic pulse into the dispersion reservoir permeates the granular material in the dispersion reservoir and carries the granular material through the second open end of the dispersion reservoir. The velocity of the granular material causes it to spread out in a substantially constant pattern of application. The granular material is continually gravity fed into the dispersion reservoir from the primary reservoir as the user operates the manual air pump while aiming at different locations to be sprayed with granular material until the primary reservoir is empty.
Abstract:
The current embodiment of the present invention is an apparatus for attachment to water or other fluid emitting devices and functions to allow a separate exit for soapy water, or other concentrate-fluid mixture, to drain from the faucet without interfering with the existing, clean water or fluid stream. The embodiment does not use gravity to effect placing the soap in contact with the water but rather uses the Venturi effect or similar effect to draw out of the attached reservoir, soap or other concentrate to combine with the water/fluid from the existing water/fluid stream going through the apparatus and thereby emit the mixture from a separate outlet. This embodiment prevents the main, uncontaminated water/fluid stream from ever coming into contact with the soap or concentrate. This apparatus further attaches to an existing water/fluid emitting device, such as a faucet, and requires no installation into or disruption of existing structures. The apparatus is further easily detachable and reattachable as well as separable and modular.
Abstract:
A fluid dispenser for dispensing fluid in liquid or powder form, the fluid dispenser comprising a reservoir (17) provided with at least one deformable actuating wall (2) and with a dispensing orifice (14), said fluid dispenser being characterized in that it further comprises a body (1) defining a frame (10) having a thickness defined to determine a defined inscribed volume (Vi), said actuating wall (2) extending over said frame (10) and being deformable so as to reduce the volume of the reservoir and so as to penetrate into the inscribed volume.
Abstract:
An applicator device having a cartridge used to deliver substances for the cosmetic, medical, dental, automotive, construction, and other industries.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a portable control device for monitoring the administration of doses by a diabetic. The control device is arranged in conjunction with a portable dosage unit having a body and an injection member designed to deliver the dose to the diabetic and attached to the body of the portable dosage unit. The dosage unit has a removable cap over the injection member. The control device is provided in the cap and is movable together with the cap. The control device comprises a sensor arranged to detect the removal of the cap from over the injection member and connected to an indicator of the control device for showing if the cap has been removed from over the injection member for administering insulin.
