Two piece plastic stormwater chamber having locking rod
A molded plastic arch shape cross section stormwater chamber having a corrugated wall comprises separately molded half chambers which are connected by coupling features at a joint region at the top of the chamber, which coupling feature optionally includes at least one locking rod running lengthwise in proximity to the joint region. Preferably, the half chambers are made in the same mold and modified so they are mirror images of each other. The half chambers may be compactly stored and transported in nested condition. Near the point of use, the chambers may be assembled.
UNDERGROUND VENTILATION APPARATUS AND METHOD
A ventilation apparatus includes a plurality of tubular conduit sections, each conduit section including a first semi-tubular section and a second semi-tubular section, each semi-tubular section having a cross-sectional profile generally in the form of an open semi-circular annular element, when viewed along a longitudinal axis. Each tubular conduit includes a first engagement formation located at an end of the tubular conduit, and a second engagement formation located at an opposing end of the tubular conduit.

ARTICULATING FAUCET
A water delivery device includes a first conduit section and a second conduit section rotatably coupled to the first conduit section by a magnetic joint. The magnetic joint includes a plurality of magnets that cooperatively define a plurality of rotational positions between the first conduit 5 section and the second conduit section.

Modular conduit system
Modular conduit systems in which a plurality of tubular link components are interconnected to form a continuous conduit. Each adjacent pair of tubular link components has a ball-and-socket joint that enables the pair of tubular link components to be pivoted with respect to each other. The ball-and-socket joint consists of a ball attached to a first one of the pair of adjacent tubular link components and a socket attached to a second one of the pair of adjacent tubular link components, where the ball is positioned within the socket. The amount of friction between the ball and the socket is adjustable, so that the amount of force required to pivot the pair of tubular link components with respect to each other, which is dependent upon the amount of friction between the ball and the socket, is variable.

DIRECT OR INDIRECT METAL PIPE EXTRUSION PROCESS, MANDREL FOR EXTRUDING METAL PIPES, METAL PIPE EXTRUDER AND EXTRUDED METAL PIPE
If a mandrel for extruding metal pipes, having two axially offset pressing surfaces with different radial embossing and having a transition region between these two pressing surfaces has a support surface in the transition region then the negative effect of narrowing, which arises owing to the mandrel shifting from a first pressing position, in which the first of the two pressing surfaces interacts with a die, to a second pressing position, in which the second pressing surface interacts with the die, can be minimized.
