Chemical container
11492183 · 2022-11-08 · ·

Disclosed is a chemical container capable of discharging gas generated from a chemical by stably securing a discharge passage of the gas even when the posture or tilt of the chemical container is variously changed, i.e. when the chemical container is turned over or falls sideways, whereby it is possible to prevent an excessive increase in internal pressure of the chemical container due to generation of the gas. The chemical container includes a container body having a storage compartment configured to store a chemical, an exhaust port disposed at one side of the container body, the exhaust port being configured to connect the storage compartment and the outside of the container body to each other in such a manner that fluid movement therebetween is possible, an exhaust tube disposed in the storage compartment so as to be connected to the exhaust port in such a manner that fluid movement therebetween is possible, and an exhaust buoyancy unit. The exhaust buoyancy unit has a buoyancy body disposed in the storage compartment in the state of being connected to the exhaust tube so as to float on the chemical stored in the storage compartment, an exhaust channel provided inside the buoyancy body, the exhaust channel being configured to connect the storage compartment and the exhaust tube to each other in such a manner that fluid movement therebetween is possible, and a filter membrane coupled to the buoyancy body, the filter membrane being configured to transmit gas through the exhaust channel and to block the chemical, thereby preventing the chemical from passing therethrough.

Breather drain
09853425 · 2017-12-26 · ·

A breather drain includes a main body member having first, second and third portions. The first portion includes a threaded outer surface and a hollow inner cavity with first and second open opposite ends and at least one of the first and second open opposite ends extending from the hollow inner cavity to the threaded outer surface. The second portion includes a flange and having a central passageway therein. The second portion connects with the hollow inner cavity. The third portion includes a protrusion having first and second sides and extending from the second portion. The third portion also includes a transverse hole extending from the first side to the second side and connects with the central passageway.

Apparatus for filtering and/or conditioning and/or purifying a fluid such as water

An apparatus for filtering water has a valve head and a filtration/purification canister removably mountable thereon. Connecting the canister to the valve head automatically opens a check valve in the valve head to permit water to flow from the valve head into and through the canister, and then back to and through the valve head to an outlet port. Disconnecting the canister from the valve head automatically closes the check valve, stopping the flow of water. A bypass valve is provided in the valve head to permit a sanitizing solution to flow through the valve head and along the lines of the water distribution system to sanitize the system, while bypassing the canister. The outlet port may be directly connected to an appliance that uses water, to eliminate possible contamination that may occur when water is brought indirectly from the outlet port to the appliance instead.

Fuel line joint

To provide a fuel line joint capable of improving resistance to an external force in a joint configured to store a liquid fuel. A fuel line joint is equipped with an integrally formed main body portion that has a storage region configured to store a liquid fuel in a lower part thereof and has an opening portion above the storage region of the liquid fuel; a lid that is formed separately from the main body portion, is attached to the main body portion so as to close the opening portion of the main body portion, and is not connected to members other than the main body portion; and a plurality of mounting portions that is formed integrally with the main body portion and mounted to each of a plurality of pipes forming a fuel line.

BREATHER CAP ASSEMBLY

A breather cap assembly is configured to be connected to a stand-tube used in a watering system. When the watering system is in normal operation, the breather cap assembly is configured to allow for air to flow between the outside the assembly and the stand-tube. The breather cap assembly also provides for structure which acts as a baffle to minimize the introduction of foreign material from outside the breather cap assembly into the stand-tube. When the watering system is in flushing operation, the breather cap assembly is configured to seal off the stand-tube in order to minimize the possibility of water leaving the stand-tube. The breather cap assembly further also provides for structure which acts as a baffle to collect and retain a majority of any water that does leave the stand-tube during a flushing operation.

Diaphragm pump leak detection

In one general aspect, the present application relates to a leak detection device that includes a body, a liquid separator, and a liquid level detector. The body includes an airflow inlet, an airflow outlet, and a liquid reservoir. The airflow outlet is arranged to substantially align with the airflow inlet. The liquid reservoir is formed in a bottom portion of the body. The liquid separator is positioned directly between the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet. The liquid separator divides an airflow path from the airflow inlet to the airflow outlet into at least two separate flow paths around the liquid separator. The liquid level detector is at least partially contained within a channel defined within a lower portion of the liquid separator, where the channel is in liquid communication with the liquid reservoir.

Vehicle vent system

A vent device for a vehicle component includes a main body and a cap. The main body includes a central tube and an outer wall. The central tube defines a main vent passage about a central axis. The outer wall is disposed about the tube and cooperates therewith to define a drain passage. The main body defines an outlet of the drain passage open to an exterior. The cap cooperates with the top of the main body to define a vent chamber. The cap and a top portion of the central tube cooperate to define an upper vent passage in fluid communication with the vent chamber, the drain passage, and an outlet of the main vent passage. A bottom portion of the cap at least partially defines a vent outlet radially outward of the drain passage and open to the vent chamber and an exterior of the vent device.
