Appl. No.:

09/930809

Inventors:

Jerry Porter - Kensington MD 20895
Edward Poslinski - Orlando FL 32821
Stephen Graner - Orlando FL 32819

International Classification:

B67C 300

US Classification:

141 8, 141 26, 141352, 141357

Abstract:

An improved siphoning device having an elongated hollow body member having a first open tip end with a fluid flow opening and a second open end. A two-way liquid valve is positioned within the first open tip end, and air pump member is removably attached to the second end of the body member. The seal member is movably positioned within the first open tip end. An air vent exhausts hot gases and is an air outlet for pumping air out of the body and creating suction within body. The air vent is preferably positioned proximate the elongated body second open end and has a cross-sectional area substantially less than the fluid flow opening cross-sectional area. The air vent preferably has a diameter in the range from at least one thirty second of an inch to three thirty seconds of and inch. Most preferably the diameter is greater than one thirty second is of an inch and less than three thirty seconds of and inch. Most preferably the diameter is about two thirty seconds of an inch.

Abstract:

A device for use in turning a nut relative to a bolt includes a first elongated inflexible member having a first handle end and a first jaw end. A second elongated inflexible member includes elongated members are pivotably connected to each other. Each jaw is dimensioned to engage in combination substantially the entire peripheral surface of a nut, but less than the entire surface of the head of the nut such that the jaws ends can not touch each other when the jaws are separated by a nut.

Appl. No.:

09/801997

Inventors:

Jerry Porter - Kensington MD, US

International Classification:

A47G019/22

US Classification:

220/709000, 220/714000

Abstract:

A container for dispensing a predetermined amount of liquid through a dispensing tube is disclosed. A valve is dimensioned to contain and dispense a predetermined about of liquid and dispense the liquid through a dispensing tube in contact with the valve. The liquid is in fluid contact with the inlet port when the base is in a first position and out of fluid contact with the inlet port when the base is in a second position. Thus, the valve fills with liquid when the container is in a substantially horizontal position while angling the container removes the liquid from contact with the valve and stops the fluid flow. Preferably the container has a sealable, watertight lid that receives the dispensing tube and incorporates vent holes to enable airflow into the container. The fluid inlet port can be placed in the side or top of the valve. The valve can alternatively be a tube with fluid and tube inlets in fluid communication. An air vent can be incorporated within the dispensing tube to prevent using the dispensing tube as a straw, it is preferable to include a drinking shield.
