Individual air supply duct for connecting a main air supply duct to a passenger service unit in an aircraft, wherein the duct is an extruded profile with a longitudinal extension direction (x). An individual air supply assembly comprising the duct and a passenger service unit configured to be mounted thereto, wherein the duct comprises individual connection ports, located on the outer surface of the duct, at equal intervals, wherein the passenger service unit comprises a port, located on the outer surface of the passenger service unit, and wherein, when the passenger service unit is mounted to the duct, the port is brought into close proximity and/or into alignment with a corresponding connection port.

The present disclosure provides a system for vertical deployment of leaching lines onto a slope of a mine leach pad. The system includes an elevated guidewire having a first end disposed at a top of the slope and a second end disposed at a bottom of the slope; the elevated guidewire being elevated above a surface of the slope; a deployment apparatus moveably coupled to the elevated guidewire and having one or more attachment mechanisms disposed thereon; and one or more leaching lines coupled to the attachment mechanisms; wherein movement of the deployment mechanism from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope pulls the one or more leaching lines down the slope and deploys the one or more leaching lines vertically onto the surface of the slope.

A self-retracting air compressor assembly includes a motorized pump device that drives in opposing directions. A reservoir tank is in fluid communication with the pump device and stores air pumped by the pump device. The air compressor includes a cord assembly that supplies air and electrical power from the pump device. The air compressor assembly pumps air when the motor is driving in a pumping direction, and self-retracts the cord assembly when the motor is driving in a winding direction.

An apparatus for securing a flexible plumbing hose, and then conveniently releasing the hose so that it may be retracted, as well as related plumbing fixtures is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a two-piece cleat assembly which easily engages and disengages the hose. The cleat assembly comprises two spring-loaded cam cleats that can partially rotate to pinch and grip the flexible hose in place but can quickly released by physically lifting the hose away from the cleat assembly. The two-piece cleat assembly may be employed as a component in a plumbing fixture such as a shower system having a hose attached to a hand-held shower head, or in a kitchen faucet having a hose attached to a hand-held sprayer. The cleat assembly is configured as a replaceable cartridge which can easily be disassembled from the plumbing fixture for replacement or repair.

An excavator machine with a side mounted silt fence installing tool mounted below the swivel. The excavator has a swiveling and articulating tool and an operator's seat above the swivel. An articulating arm is attached above the swivel so the operator may operate swiveling and articulating tool in a coordinated way with the silt fence installer to accomplish a job more efficiently than it could be accomplished using tools separately mounted one at a time.

A hose guide having a base with a back side, a front side and a hose receiving orifice. A receiver extends from the front side of the base. The receiver has a terminal end that communicates an interior surface and an exterior surface. The terminal end may define a plurality of fillets. A roller assembly is affixed to the back side the base. The roller assembly supports a plurality of rollers for engaging an external surface of a hose. When installed, the hose guide of the invention is flush with a sealing surface, such as a panel, for providing a sealing surface therewith. Rollers are provided for reducing damage to a hose passing therethrough. Use of a complementary shaped stopper helps to prevent an ingress of water and dust through the hose guide, e.g., into a hose reel containing compartment.

An assembly for high-pressure cleaning and a method for manufacturing an assembly for high-pressure cleaning are provided. The assembly includes a pressure washer, a handle, a self-winding hose reel, a first water hose, and a second water hose. The pressure washer includes a platform, an engine mounted onto the platform, and a water pump coupled to the engine. The handle is used for maneuvering the platform and is mounted onto the platform. The self-winding hose reel is coupled to the pressure washer. The first water hose has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first water hose is connected to the water pump. The second water hose is wound around the self-winding hose reel. The second water hose has a third end and a fourth end. The third end of the second water hose is connected to the second end of the first water hose.

An over-the-range microwave appliance includes a pot filler water dispenser for dispensing water to a vessel situated on a cook top below the microwave. The microwave includes a pot filler housing adjacent a cooking cavity that creates a recess into which the pot filler is housed that is not visible from the front of the appliance. The pot filler includes a dispensing hose or conduit that is retractable or retractably mounted within the pot filler housing recess. The dispensing hose is biased into a stowed position and can be pulled against the bias to place the dispensing hose into a deployed condition, thereafter returning to its stowed position.
