Egon Gorsky - Westfield NJ

International Classification:

B01F 304

US Classification:

261 77

Abstract:

An aquarium water aeration device including an upper body member having an upwardly extending tubular neck portion with a downwardly depending cylindrical skirt portion and a concentrically disposed wall portion interiorly thereof defining an annulus closed by a lower body member having a collar portion with minute axially extending serrations about the periphery thereof, the collar portion frictionally engaging within the wall portion to define minute air passageways. The annular chamber has an air inlet nipple for receiving air from an air pump, the passage of air through the air passageways directed upwardly relative to a siphon tube to which the device is connected providing a head of water to act as an airlift pump, while providing aeration to the debris-laden fluid from the aquarium into the aquarium filter to which the siphon tube is attached. A grid is connected to the lower portion of the lower body member for limiting the size of particles entering the siphon tube.

Abstract:

A foot-operable striking apparatus for actuating a beater to strike a percussion instrument. The apparatus includes a pivotally mounted pedal having a toe-retaining clip overlying its toe portion. The pedal is pivotally mounted at its heel portion, so that it can be moved upwardly and downwardly by an ankle-flexing motion of the operator's foot. Linkage means are provided which will move a beater used with the apparatus into striking position when the pedal is elevated or depressed. The linkage means are arranged to provide a natural feel so the apparatus can be readily operated to produce a series of beats of equal amplitude, and so the apparatus can be operated at a high speed.
