Abstract: A pan inverting apparatus comprises an input endless belt and an output endless belt, between which a revolving pan wheel is positioned. The pan wheel includes a plurality of transverse pan receivers opening radially outward to define the circumference thereof. Each pan to be inverted is guided into engagement with the input endless belt and against a movable stop. The stop is synchronized with rotation of the pan wheel to selectively release each pan for chambering into one of the pan receivers for rotation by the pan wheel. After approximately one-half revolution of the pan wheel, the inverted pans are individually engaged by the output endless belt for advancement out of the pan receivers. In the preferred embodiment, cushioning within the pan receivers helps to secure the pans and reduce noise. Preferably, magnets are located subjacent to the input and output endless belts to promote positive frictional engagement with the pans.

Abstract: Water distributing apparatus for uniformly wetting a roof to provide evaporative cooling. The apparatus includes a generally horizontal water conduit supported on a roof, a flexible tube attached to an upper surface of the conduit and a directional nozzle attached to a second end of the flexible tube. The directional nozzle has an outlet angularly displaced from the longitudinal axis of the second end of the flexible tube to provide rapid generally random movement of the nozzle about its point of attachment to the water supply conduit. In one preferred embodiment the conduit includes spaced apart conduit tee components having upstanding branches into which are fitted plugs supporting connector fittings for the flexible tubes. A filter screen is mounted in each of the plugs. An upstanding sleeve surrounds the tube connector fitting and is operable to engage the flexible tube to minimize snagging of the directional nozzle under the edges of the roof shingles and control the flailing action of the tubes.
