Filed:

Jun 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/454571

Inventors:

Joseph Ross - Hawthorne NJ, US

International Classification:

E03C001/00

US Classification:

004/696000

Abstract:

The Bathsert is a unique, and functional piece that allows plumbers and homeowners to replace dual faucets with a single faucet design. It provides a good looking alternative to current chrome plate covers. It also adds some functionality with small storage shelves for shampoo or soap. All parts are made of molded plastic. This makes the entire Bathsert corrosion proof. It also allows it to manufactured in a variety of colors. A vinyl seal around the edges forms a water tight barrier when the unit is clamped in place. The clamping mechanisms are accessed from the front and can accommodate walls up to four inches thick. The seal will work on tile, plastic, or fiberglass enclosures.

International Classification:

F04B 3914

US Classification:

417360

Abstract:

A centrifugal pump assembly, having a removable impeller assembly for use in conjunction with ink reservoirs of printing press apparatuses. There is provided a centrifugal pump assembly comprising motor mounting means for mounting the motor with respect to the cover member of an ink reservoir. The shaft of the motor extends downwardly into the reservoir and has secured thereto a coupling sleeve. The coupling sleeve includes means for securing the same to the motor shaft and means for releasably engaging the impeller shaft of the pump assembly. The impeller shaft is provided with a positive drive pin adapted to fit into a slot formed in the coupling sleeve to thereby properly align said impeller shaft with respect to the impeller housing and to insure proper positive connection of the impeller shaft with respect to the motor shaft for corresponding rotational movement therewith. An alternate embodiment utilizes a hollow barrier sleeve to prevent ink from traveling upwardly into the motor. The impeller engages the portion of the shaft of the motor which extends below the barrier sleeve utilizing a flat on the shaft of the motor engaged within a semi-circular opening in the impeller.

US Classification:

422144

Abstract:

A catalyst cooler apparatus and process for use with a two-stage regeneration system in a fluidized catalytic cracking process having a device to remove hot catalyst from the second regeneration zone at a point above the air distribution ring under the surface of the catalyst bed equivalent to the catalyst exit to the reactor, a heat exchanger for indirect heat exchange and cooling of the catalyst and a return device for returning the cooled catalyst to the second regeneration zone at or near the bottom of the catalyst bed, beneath the air distribution ring.

International Classification:

F04B 3914

US Classification:

417360

Abstract:

A centrifugal pump assembly especially adapted for use in conjunction with ink reservoirs of printing press apparatuses. There is provided a centrifugal pump assembly comprising motor mounting means for mounting the motor with respect to the cover member of an ink reservoir. The shaft of the motor extends downwardly into the reservoir and has secured thereto a coupling sleeve. The coupling sleeve includes means for securing the same to the motor shaft and means for releasably engaging the impeller shaft of the pump assembly. The impeller shaft is provided with a positive drive pin adapted to fit into a slot formed in the coupling sleeve to thereby properly align said impeller shaft with respect to the impeller housing and to insure proper positive connection of the impeller shaft with respect to the motor shaft for corresponding rotational movement therewith. The releasable engagement of the impeller shaft with respect to the motor shaft permits disengagement of the motor from the centrifugal pump assembly prior to washing and cleansing operations of the impeller assembly and ink reservoir.
