摘要:
It is one aspect of the present invention to provide a liquid handling member which combines high liquid suction capability with a high permeability. It is another aspect of the present invention to provide liquid handling member which combines a high liquid suction capability with a fast 80 percent capacity absorption time. The present invention further provides devices for handling body liquids which comprise the liquid handling member of the present invention such as for example baby diapers, training pants, sanitary napkins, adult incontinence devices, bed mats, and the like.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a liquid transport device comprising a reservoir and a liquid conduit comprising an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is connected to the reservoir, wherein the device further comprises a membrane hermetically sealed to the conduit in the region of the outlet, the membrane being liquid permeable and having an average pore size not greater than 100 micrometers and a thickness of less than 1 mm. The invention further relates to the use of the liquid transport device for the irrigation of plants.
摘要:
A self-watering plant pot consisting of an outer pot (10), a liner (30) of translucent or semi-translucent material that fits within the outer pot, a soil platform assembly (60) that divides the liner into a soil compartment and a water reservoir (44), an optional float (40) positioned in the water reservoir, and a water delivery channel for allowing water and air to be introduced into the water reservoir. The water delivery channel can be a water delivery tube (70) extending upward from the soil platform. The outer pot is typically opaque and includes a side window opening (20) near its base. The water level in the water reservoir and, if a float is employed, the position of the float are visible through the liner and window opening in the outer pot. Water is conveyed from the water reservoir to the soil via capillary action.

A misting device (100) is provided. The misting device (100) includes at least one nozzle (104) configured to spray a fluid (122). The misting device (100) also includes a conduit (128) configured to supply the fluid (122) to the at least one nozzle (104). The conduit (128) has a first end coupled to the at least one nozzle (104). The conduit (128) has a second end that communicates with a fluid compartment (120) of a base housing (102) included in the misting device (100). The base housing (102) includes a pressure providing device (166) that communicates with the fluid compartment (120). The pressure providing device (166) is configured to cause the fluid (122) to flow to the at least one nozzle (104) via the conduit (128). The base housing (102) further includes a cooling compartment (136) adjacent the fluid compartment (120). The cooling compartment (136) is configured to cool the fluid (122).

The invention concerns a self-priming (30) siphon, and more particularly a device combining the capillarity (15) and the siphon (9), in particular but not exclusively, a device for watering plants from a water reserve (2).
摘要:
A device for dispensing water from a source of water under pressure to at least one water-using attachment, includes a basin and a water-dispensing adjustable diaphragm fill valve. The water-using attachments may have various configurations such as but not limited to garden planters and pots, terrariums, and farms, garden pot converters, underground springs, Christmas tree stands, animal waterers, animal waterer/feeders, bird baths, hummingbird feeders, amphibian habitats, animal cages, bird cages, pond filter/fountains, aquariums, air conditioners and water toys. The basin holds a volume of water and has a closed bottom, at least one side wall, and an open top and includes a water inlet port adapted to connect the basin to the source of water under pressure. A mounting rim is positioned adjacent to the open top for mounting the water-using attachments, and a seat is provided for readily accepting and releasing the fill valve within the basin below a selected water line. The adjustable diaphragm fill valve is mounted on the seat and maintains a volume of water in the basin at a predetermined level. The fill valve has at least one water outlet port for dispensing water from the fill valve into the basin.
摘要:
A plant bed with a raised individual shaped (concrete) block surround (10). In order to improve the water system in such a high bed or the cultivated earth (13) therein, surface water is led from outside the plant bed via apertures (20) or channels (22) in the shaped blocks and connecting pipes (21, 24) or hoses into the plant bed or a region below it. In addition, the blocks are shaped in such a way that sunlight is reflected outwards and, when the shaped blocks heat up, heat is conducted outwards.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for a complete, integrated cultivation of plants both in a plant nursery and/or in a pre-cultivation plant and also in an intermediate cultivation phase and at the consumer's place, whereby the plant is cultivated in a simple and cheap cultivation container/pot (1), especially of disposable type and filled with earth or a cultivation substrate and with the cultivation container standing with the bottom of the earth mass fully or partly in surface contact with a capillary moisture bed of a means emiting water and nutrient (fertilizer), and in which the plant (20), after having been cultivated for some time, and still in the same cultivation container (1) and without having subjected the roots or the foliage thereof, is moved and is put down on top of another capillary moisture bed and is cultivated or ultimately cultivated standing on top of said moisture bed. During the cultivation phases the plant can be subjected to various cultivation conditions without the need of being re-planted and without any actuation the roots or the foliage of the plant. When a plant is to be exchanged at the consumer's place (D) the entire cultivation container with the plant is removed from the moisture bed and is substituted by unit comprising a new cultivation container (1, 1') including a new plant which is just placed on top of the same moisture bed.
