A kitchen faucet mounting structure includes a faucet body, a pipe connector, and a fixing assembly. The faucet body is connected to an upper portion of the pipe connector. The fixing assembly includes an upper casing, a press block, a return C-shaped ring, and a lower casing. Through the cooperation of the upper casing, the press block and the lower casing, the fixing assembly and the pipe connector can be assembled and fixed quickly. Through the cooperation of the return C-shaped ring and the press block, the fixing assembly and the pipe connector can be disassembled quickly.

A withdrawal system (1) for a container (2) and comprises an immersion pipe (4) mounted on and projecting into the container (2) as well as a withdrawal head (5) that is attachable to the immersion pipe (4) by means of a rotary connection. The withdrawal head (5) attached to the immersion pipe (4) is secured by means of a mechanical locking unit.

A method for installing a trim system for a fluid control valve mounted behind a wall and configured for use with a kitchen or bath fixture. The method includes positioning a locating ring against a trim assembly, where the locating ring has an adhesive layer on a rear surface thereof; coupling the trim assembly to the fluid control valve; pushing the trim assembly and locating ring toward the wall to bond the adhesive layer of the locating ring to the wall; removing the trim assembly from the locating ring; coupling a mounting bracket to the locating ring; securing the mounting bracket to the wall; and coupling the trim assembly to the mounting bracket.

A solenoid assembly (100) is provided that includes a frame (104), a coil (106) positioned proximate the frame (104), and a core (114) defined by the coil (106). A plunger (108) is actuatable between at least a first position and a second position, and a guide (109) is at least partially disposed within the core (114). The plunger (108) is disposed at least partially within the guide (109). A housing (102) at least partially houses the frame (104), the coil (106), the guide (109) and the plunger (108), and the guide (109) is prevented from rotating independently of the housing (102).

A pneumatic motor propulsion source including a friction welding apparatus, a gas accumulator tank operably coupled to the friction welding apparatus, and an air compressor operably coupled to the gas accumulator tank.

In some implementations, an apparatus includes a body, a receiver in contact with the body, at least one tensioner operable coupled to the receiver, and a strap further comprising a strong and flexible material, each end of the strap operably coupled to one of the at least one tensioner, the strap being in contact with the body.

A liquid block apparatus integrated into a sample probe that is inserted into the pressurized process to prevent entrained liquids from entering the probe and being extracted for sampling. The present invention enhances sampling of pressurized process fluids for on-stream and spot sampling of pressurized process fluid such as natural gas or the like, particularly pressurized process gas having liquid entrained therein, or otherwise referenced as multiphase or wet.

A method of making and loading a chromatography column includes selecting a column tube having an appropriate elasticity, and inner diameter and length, selecting appropriately sized flow distributors, a second flow distributor having a diameter that is larger than the inner diameter of the tube, permanently securing a first flow distributor to a first end of the tube, loading packing medium into the tube, inserting the second flow distributor into a second end of the tube to drive the second flow distributor into the tube to form a sealed chamber within the tube, adjusting the longitudinal position of the second flow distributor within the tube by applying a force to the second flow distributor until it reaches a desired location within the tube, and/or forcing liquid into the chamber to move the second flow distributor and permanently securing the properly positioned second flow distributor within the tube.

The present invention describes a sampling system and densitometer system for sampling fluids from a pipeline. A flow loop is set up which continuously collects fluid from the pipeline and then returns the fluid with a minimum fluid flow rate so that the fluid is representative of fluid flowing through the pipeline at the time of sampling. For each sample, pressurized fluid is taken from the flow loop and directed to a pressurized sampling chamber. The sample is then directed by gravity to a removable sample container, which may be pressurized or unpressurized, in each sampling cycle.

The present invention provides a faucet with a wand that has a geometric orientation of the wand and/or a geometric relationship between components of the faucet.
