    摘要: A pop-up sprinkler assembly includes a cylindrical housing having a cap on an upper end thereof, the cap having an opening, a lower end of the cylindrical housing having an internal thread for attachment to a source of pressurized water. A stem is mounted in the cylindrical housing with a spring radially between the stem and the cylindrical housing for normally biasing the stem to a retracted position within the cylindrical housing. The stem is extendable through the opening in the first cap to an extended position when water under pressure is supplied to the cylindrical housing. The stem has a threaded upper end to which an alternative sprinkler head is attached. An adapter housing is received over the cap and secured to the cylindrical housing, the sprinkler housing having an open upper end, the adapter housing having a diameter sufficient to receive the alternative sprinkler head when the stem is in the retracted position. A cover is secured to an upper end of the sprinkler head and adapted to close the open upper end of the adapter housing when the stem is in the retracted position. A conversion kit for adapting the otherwise incompatible sprinkler head to the pop-up assembly is also provided.

    摘要: A system for mounting an object such as a flat screen television on a surface such as a wall. A mounting template is fastened to the surface and defines multiple sets of openings corresponding to multiple mounting configurations. Wall brackets are removably secured within the openings and are then fastened to the surface. Object spacers are fastened to mounting locations on the object corresponding to the mounting configuration of the wall brackets, and are connected to the wall brackets to secure the object to the wall. A level may be secured within the mounting template. The mounting template may include fold lines to facilitate packaging and storage of the mounting template.

    摘要: A sprinkler device incorporates a rotatable shaft having a cam, the cam having a radially outwardly projecting shaft lobe. A water distribution plate is supported on one end of the shaft and is adapted to be impinged upon by a stream emitted from a nozzle causing the water distribution plate and the shaft to rotate. A hesitator assembly is supported on an opposite end of the shaft, the assembly including a stationary housing having a sealed chamber at least partially filled with a viscous fluid. The shaft passes through the chamber, with the cam and shaft lobe located within said chamber. A rotor ring is located within the chamber in surrounding relationship to the cam, and the rotor ring has two or more inwardly projecting hesitator lobes movable into and out of a path of rotation of the shaft lobe, such that rotation of the shaft and water distribution plate is slowed during intervals when the shaft lobe engages and pushes past the one or more hesitator lobes.

    摘要: An audio signal received at a mobile device is processed using a first set of equalization parameters in an acoustic coupling mode of operation, and is processed using a second set of equalization parameters in an inductive coupling mode of operation. The processed audio signal is transmitted to a speaker associated with the mobile device for acoustic coupling to a human ear and/or a hearing aid microphone, or for inductive coupling to a hearing aid telecoil.

    摘要: A reversible, adjustable arc sprinkler head comprising a sprinkler body incorporating a fixed nozzle; a spray plate mounted on one end of a support cage for rotation with the support cage in one or the other of two opposite directions about a first axis arranged coaxially with a stream emitted from the nozzle, and for back and forth tilting motion about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, an opposite end of the support cage secured to a sleeve rotatably mounted in the sprinkler body, the spray plate having a pair of substantially parallel grooves for selectively receiving the stream, wherein the direction of rotation of the spray plate about the first axis is determined by the tilting motion of the spray plate about the second axis; and a shift lever formed with an aperture sized to receive the stream, the shift lever mounted at one end on the sleeve for rotation about a third axis parallel to the first axis, the shift lever enabled to shift the stream from one of the pair of grooves to the other of the pair of grooves to thereby reverse the direction of rotation of the spray plate.

The shift lever is mounted at one end for rotation about a third axis parallel to the first axis, and is enabled to shift the stream from one of the pair of grooves to the other of the pair of grooves to thereby reverse the direction of rotation of the spray plate.

    摘要: A rotary pinch valve includes a valve body having an inlet and an outlet; the valve body supporting a pinch tube and a pair of pivotally mounted pinch arms, the pinch tube forming part of an axial flowpath from said inlet to said outlet. A valve actuator dial is received on the valve body and formed with a pair of internal cam lobes engageable, respectively, with cam follower surfaces on each of the pair of pivotally mounted pinch arms upon rotation of the valve actuator dial to pivot the pair of pinch arms from an open position out of engagement with the pinch tube to a closed position where the pinch arms engage and close the pinch tube to thereby shut off flow through the valve body.
