Disclosed herein is a system for draining groundwater away from a substantially vertical foundation wall that extends beneath the surface of the ground, and which has an exterior surface in contact with the ground. The drainage system includes a drainage structure that extends longitudinally along an entire interior foundation wall footing. The drainage structure is fabricated from a plurality of foldable polypropylene panels that are secured to and are adjacent to the foundation footing. The drainage structure forms a drainage channel that facilitates the flow of infiltration water to a sump pump or other means for ejecting water, and extracted radon, from proximate the foundation.

A bicycle saddle includes a seat bladder fastened to a base frame. The seat bladder has one or more cavities that include an internal channel along a portion of the seat bladder's centerline that blocks the flow of fluid from side-to-side along the length of the internal channel. A rear fluid channel allows fluid to flow from side-to-side as the rider's weight shifts from side-to-side during the pedaling cycle. Fluid also flows from side-to-side where the pommel portion flows into the wider seating portion of the set bladder by moving around the forward end of the longitudinal channel. The perimeter of the seat bladder overhangs the perimeter of the base frame by a variable amount throughout the perimeter of the base frame.

Dispenser for solid edible foods having replaceable internal dies

Dispenser for stick form solid edible foods

A solid-foods dispenser adapted to receive a stick of solid edible material and dispense the material in at least one ribbon of desired thickness is disclosed. The solid-foods dispenser comprises an elongate housing having structural walls defining a chamber bounded by terminal ends, the chamber having an internal configuration generally corresponding to the configuration of the stick of material to be dispensed. A first closure adapted to be removingly engaged to one end of the elongate housing has an advance associated therewith and a second closure adapted to be fitted to the other end of the elongate housing has an interchangeable die associated therewith. The advance has a plunger for dispensing the stick wherein the advance moves the plunger. The plunger has a forward end surface configured to mate with the interior surface of the second closure and is positioned within the housing and movable therewithin. The chamber is convergingly tapered from the one end to the other end throughout the length thereof.

An endoscopic instrument cleaning apparatus includes a syringe coupled to a flushing chamber by a form-fitting stopper. A distal, or instrument receiving end of the flushing chamber is inserted into a supply of cleaning fluid and the plunger of the syringe is drawn out to its fully retracted length, thereby filling the syringe and the flushing chamber with cleaning fluid. Then the distal end of an endoscopic instrument is inserted about through an aperture in a stopper having the shape of a conical frustum and is inserted into the flushing chamber to a depth of about 4 inches (10 cm) and the plunger of the syringe is thrust forward to inject pressurized cleaning solution through the endoscopic instrument. In another embodiment, the syringe receiving stopper is recessed within a proximal end of the flush chamber by about 3/8 inches (0.95-1.00 cm) and a tightly fitting tubular insert is glued into the recess to eliminate the possibility that the syringe receiving stopper will be blown out of the flushing chamber by fluid pressure when it is used. Alternatively, an inward projecting lip is formed in the distal end of the flush chamber for the same purpose. A rectangular flushing board includes a neck having a pair of aligned yokes for seating and holding the syringe body to eliminate wrist and thumb strain. In another embodiment, a flushing chamber is formed as an extension to the body of a syringe, thereby eliminating the need for a separate flushing chamber.

A folding chair/table includes a rigid seat attached to an X-frame with four legs that fold and then slide under the seat and parallel to it for storage and a rigid backrest connected to a separate backrest frame pivotally attached to the seat, which is stopped from over rotation by the rearwardly upwardly sloping rear legs. The backrest and backrest frame pivot forwardly and downwardly to a position in contact with the front of the seat to form a table.
