Abstract: An improved watering device is provided for automatically watering one or more potted plants with a predetermined volume or quantity of water, in response to the weight of the potted plant which indicates the moisture content of the plant soil. The watering device comprises a plant carrier for movably suspending the potted plant from a hanger assembly, with a main spring reacting between the plant carrier and hanger assembly for controlling the vertical position of the plant carrier in response to the weight of the potted plant. Upon upward displacement of the carrier as the plant soil dries, an adjustably set and spring-loaded pin engages and operates a control member such as an electrical switch for opening a water flow valve to deliver water to the potted plant, whereupon the carrier translates downwardly as water is added to the plant soil ultimately to result in sufficient disengagement with the control member to close the water flow valve and halt water flow to the potted plant. In an alternative form, the control member may comprise the water flow valve. In either case, adjustment of actuator pin position and the spring force applied thereto permits relatively simple selection of specific weight-responsive set points for turning the water flow on and off.

Abstract: The present invention provides an automated chemical drain system which includes a buffer tank for collecting used chemical from a process machine, at least two level sensors in the buffer tank for sensing a fluid level and sending out a signal, a controller for receiving the signal from the level sensors and then sending out a second signal to a solenoid controlled valve when the first signal exceeds a threshold value, a solenoid controlled valve that is in fluid communication with the buffer tank and a collection tank, and a collection tank for collecting used chemical from the buffer tank. The collection tank may further be provided with a weight sensing device such that a signal may be sent out to the controller when the weight of the collection tank exceeds a maximum allowable value so that the controller shuts off the solenoid controlled valve to avoid overflow in the collection tank and to alert a maintenance operator to empty the collection tank.

Abstract: The flushing device has an actuating device for optionally triggering a complete or partial flushing. A valve body of drain fittings is raised for this purpose. In the case of a partial flushing, the valve body is raised with a weight body, which loads the valve body with the valve body raised and brings same prematurely into the closed position against the lifting force of a float after a flushing process has been triggered. A coupling device has a switching member mounted on the weight body in its lower area. This switching member automatically connects the weight body to the valve body during the raising of the weight body with a pulling element connected to the weight body.

Abstract: A water safety valve, system and method for detecting and shutting off water flow due to leaks or breaks in a water line in which the water flow is at a very low rate on the order of three to five fluid ounces per minute but having the capability of passing large flows of three hundred to five hundred times this amount. The system provides an automatic fluid shut off with an over-ride timer with an automatic return to normal operation when a predetermined period has expired. It further allows simple shut off and activation of the system with a single conveniently located control.

Abstract: A valve (10) for dispensing metered doses from a pressurized dispensing container (17) has a valve cup (13) attached to the container. A valve housing (11) fixed to the valve cup has within it nested components (30, 31) the inner one of which defines a metering chamber (16). A valve stem (12) slides through seals (14, 15) one of which is trapped between the valve cup (13) and the inner nested component (30). The other seal (15) is trapped between the nested components. The valve stem is urged into an inoperative position by a spring (60) located within the valve housing but outside the metering chamber. The inner and outer nested components have unequal numbers of castellations (41, 42) formed in their edges around the valve stem to permit flexing of the seal (15) during filling of the container.

Abstract: A water timer including a housing having an inlet and outlet through which water flows to drive an impeller and speed reducer used to determine the open time of a valve member. The valve member is movable in one direction, corresponding with one direction of axial movement of the timer dial, into a water flow position out of engagement with a valve seat and movable in an opposite direction, corresponding with an opposite direction of axial movement of the dial, into engagement with the valve seat into a water shut-off position. The valve member has a first pressure responsive surface area facing in the opposite direction disposed in communication with water under pressure communicating with the housing inlet and a second pressure responsive surface area facing in the one direction. A controllable water pressure chamber within the timer housing communicates with the second surface area and through a first series of passages with water under pressure communicating with the first surface area when the valve member is in its water shut-off position.
