Abstract:
A shower partition of the type which is attached to a wall and which can be swiveled as well as swung open and closed, between a rest position and an open position in which the shower partition forms an enclosed shower stall in conjunction with the wall to which it is attached. The shower partition includes a pair of separate subunits, each of which includes a plurality of segments which are hinged with one another. A first end of each subunit is attached to the wall in spaced apart relationship with respect to the first end of the other subunit, and opposite, second ends of the subunits abut one another, when opened, to form the shower stall. When the subunits are opened to form the shower stall, the inner segments are able to fold outward to the rest position while the outer segments are able to fold inward into the rest position but are blocked from folding further outward. Locking elements are attached on the longitudinal edges of the outer segments which engage with one another when the subunits are opened to form the shower stall and which are disengageable from one another only by inwardly directed folding of the outer segments.
Abstract:
A bath and shower device with a bathtub (1) and a related shower partition (4) attached to a wall (2) above an upper edge (3) of the bathtub (1), the bathtub (1) having a bottom (5) with a planar base (6) and the shower partition (4) having several segments (7) that are hinged to one another so as to be able to swing and fold from an unfolded shower position, forming a shower stall, into a rest position, folded against the wall (2), freeing bathtub (1), and vice versa.The bath and shower device is improved with regard to shower and safety engineering in that base (6) of the bathtub (1) , seen in the longitudinal direction of bathtub (1), is placed approximately in the center of bottom (5).
Abstract:
A pressure vessel for storing a fluid, the pressure vessel including an annular inner boss having an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface forming a passage adapted to receive a utility device therein, wherein the inner boss includes a liner channel formed intermediate the inner surface and the outer surface, a vessel liner having a portion thereof disposed in the liner channel of the inner boss, and an outer boss secured to the outer surface of the inner boss.
Abstract:
A boss for use with a vessel is disclosed. The boss includes a first component adapted to be formed in an opening of the vessel, wherein the first component includes a first coupling element, and a second component including a second coupling element, wherein the second coupling element engages the first coupling element to secure the second component to the first component, and wherein a liner of the vessel is disposed therebetween.
Abstract:
A pressure vessel is disclosed, the pressure vessel having an outer shell, an inner shell, and a temperature regulating device, the temperature regulating device adapted to regulate the temperature of a fluid stored in the inner shell during operation of the pressure vessel and to minimize curing time during manufacture of the pressure vessel.
Abstract:
A vessel and method for forming the vessel is disclosed, the vessel having an injection blow molded hollow liner, wherein the hollow liner includes reinforced interfacial features formed substantially around a portion of at least one vessel penetration element.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for forming the vessel is disclosed, the vessel having an injection molded interfacial layer formed on a penetrating element and a filament wound outer shell, the interfacial layer coupled to a blow molded inner shell, wherein a portion of the interfacial layer is coupled to the inner shell to facilitate forming a substantially fluid tight connection therebetween.
Abstract:
A boss and a capture sleeve for use with a pressure vessel are disclosed. The capture sleeve is disposed within a liner of the pressure vessel, adjacent an opening. A plurality of attachment members disposed on the capture sleeve are received by the boss, securing the boss to the liner. The pressure vessel including the boss and the capture sleeve minimizes the effects of pressure and temperature variations, militates against an axial and rotational movement of the boss, and facilitates installation and replacement of a seal disposed adjacent the boss.
