    摘要: The invention includes a system for monitoring the performance of an automatic dosing siphon utilized in reservoir which is a part of a wastewater treatment system. The siphon includes a bell type cover, a fluid trap having one leg extending upward into the bell, and an outlet discharge pipe connected to said trap. A flow detect switch is located in the discharge pipe. Upon siphon activation the switch is opened and a countdown timer is reset. After draining the reservoir, the switch closes and the timer starts counting down a predetermined time period. If the siphon doesn't activate, time expires and an alarm is triggered. A second system utilizes a solenoid drain valve located above the outlet portion of the siphon trap such that upon time expiring the valve opens, the tank drains, and the timer resets. The valve automatically reprimes the siphon. The system continues to monitor the siphon and initiates an alarm upon subsequent siphon failures. Another system for restarting the siphon replaces the solenoid valve with an air pump whose air hose is situated under the siphon bell. Upon time expiring, the air pump activates and pumps air under the siphon bell thereby activating the siphon. The tank drains, the switch closes, and the siphon is reprimed for normal operations. A second timer counts down after the activation of the air pump or solenoid valve. If the switch is not opened within the second predetermined time period, an alarm is triggered.

    摘要: A generally L-shaped bicycle rack includes upper and lower intersecting leg portions, each including side walls having outwardly extending peripheral flanges which may optionally engage nails or screws for the purpose of securing the rack in a selected location. An arcuate well disposed centrally in the rack receives an outer circumferential portion of a bicycle wheel to support a bicycle for storage purposes. Aligned pairs of notches in the peripheral flanges of the upper and lower legs allows one or more of the racks to be secured in a variety of different mounting configurations. In a first alternative, the rack may be secured to a vertical wall to store a bicycle in a vertical orientation. In a second alternative, a plurality of racks may be secured in sequential adjacent relation to form a rack for storing multiple bicycles. A tubular member extending transversely through the upper leg of the rack may receive cables or chains for locking a bicycle to the rack. Alternatively, one or more of the racks may be mounted in a selected location by passing a chain, cable, or pipe through the tubular member. The rack has a lightweight open hollow construction which allows storage and shipping of a plurality of racks in nested stacked relation to minimize shipping and storage costs.
