Abstract:
Aromatic polyamide having good high-temperature resistance and processing ability is obtained by specifying the ratio of storage modulus at the glass transition temperature (Tg).degree.C. to that of (Tg+100).degree.C.
Abstract:
A portable disinfecting device for a toilet seat and other surfaces is provided that is manually slideable upon the toilet seat and the other surfaces to disinfect them from a roll of disinfectant tissue. The device has a replaceable refill cartridge which holds both a liquid disinfectant dispenser and a new roll of disinfectant tissue therein.
Abstract:
A sterilizer is provided with an automatic closer which includes a resilient plug normally closing a delivery tube of the sterilizer to stop liquid flow from a reservoir filled with cleaning chemical or sterilizing agent to thereby prevent loss of the liquid when not in cleansing user, and which can be opened upon the depression by a user's gravity acting upon a toilet seat to allow the liquid flow for cleansing purpose.
Abstract:
Apparatus for removing and preventing escape of noxious fumes from a commode bowl has a plurality of circumferentially arranged radially inwardly directed air inlet passages adjacent the bowl rim for the intake of ambient air surrounding the commode. A plurality of circumferentially arranged radially outwardly directed outlet passages are positioned below the inlet passages for suction withdrawal of the noxious fumes mixed with the incoming air. The inner edge of the commode opening between the inlet and outlet passages is configured to create turbulence within the bowl to mix the fumes therein with the incoming air.
Abstract:
An apparatus for accommodating an electrical cord in a heated toilet seat having a toilet seat body and a base cover pivotally connected to each other, wherein an electrical cord adapted for electrical connection between a heater mounted within the toilet seat body and a controller therefore is secured at one by a grommet provided on the base cover and at the other end by a cord fastener in the toilet seat body. Sufficient cord slack is provided in the toilet seat body so that the cord may be retracted or extended during the pivoting of the toilet seat body. The cord slack is in the shape of a loop, and a guide stopper is positioned within the loop to guide the cord during extension and retraction and limit the maximum extension of the cord.
Abstract:
The apparatus is adapted to fit on the lower surface of conventional toilet seats, and comprises (1) a base element, (2) a support element, including handle, rotatably secured to the base element, (3) an elongated fluid carrying arm extending from the support, and (4) a sprayhead. By rotating the handle, the sprayhead moves through a relatively shallow arc from a retracted position adjacent the lower surface of the seat at the rear thereof through an operative path beneath the opening in the seat. The axis of rotation of the support element and the configuration of the fluid-carrying arm are such that the focal point of the arc of the sprayhead is several inches above the plane of the seat.
Abstract:
A toilet ventilating apparatus comprising a seat portion having hinged means for securement to a toilet bowl, a peripheral conduit extending around and through the seat and being closed except for a port adjacent the hinge means and a port opposite the hinge means connecting the conduit with the interior of the bowl, and an exhaust fan in communication with the peripheral conduit through an exhaust conduit for withdrawing air from the bowl through the ports, through the peripheral conduit, and out the exhaust conduit.
Abstract:
An annular seat designed to cover a water closet bowl and having a human-body-contacting upper face, comprising a chain arranged in closed loop thereabout, sweeper means secured to a point of such chain and including a cleaning and disinfecting pad positioned for frictionally engaging said upper face and cleaning the same as progressed thereon and about upon causing said chain to progress in the path defined by its loop, and motor means drivingly connected to said chain for rotating same and causing said pad to sweep along said face.
