Ecological quality improvement of water for domestic use

A process and an arrangement for hair care or therapeutic skin treatment are provided which most finely impregnate the heated and running water with CO.sub.2 directly before it is contacted with the hair or skin and which serve for lowering the pH value to values markedly below 7 due to the carbonic acid forming proportionately.

A disposable CO.sub.2 gas generator cartridge of cylindrical construction and including inner and outer coaxial reagent chambers which are interconnected when installed in a cylindrical pressure vessel and having a top cover assembly including a pusher type activating mechanism which is operated by a cam surface located on a handwheel. The cover assembly connects to a carbonated drink dispenser by means of a quick disconnect coupling activated by the operation of a manually operated pull down lever assembly including the handwheel. Operation of the handwheel acts to start gas generation and also vent the cartridge to atmosphere when spent.

Disposable gas generator cartridge and vessel therefor for use in a

A method of qualitatively and quantitatively improving the fertilization of plants comprising impregnating a plant nutrient salt solution, optionally containing herbicides, fungicides or insecticides, with an amount of CO.sub.2 effective to economically increase the solubility of said nutrient salt whereby the quantitative uptake through the surface is improved.

Method for qualitatively and quantitatively improving the fertilizing or

An apparatus for impregnating water with carbon dioxide provides a stepped-flow channel with radial shoulders lying in planes perpendicular to the axis of the flow channel creating a zone of increased flow velocity downstream of each shoulder. Radial bores open into each stepped section adjacent the respective shoulder and communicate with a chamber surrounding the flow channel to supply the carbon dioxide to the liquid which is permitted to fill the flow channel and flow freely into an inlet section.

A method and an apparatus are proposed in order to eliminate the influence f viscosity variations in the syrup on the accuracy of metering in vending machines for the production and dispensing of still mixed drinks by considerably raising the injection pressure for the water, to eliminate the effect of the susceptibility of these syrups to spoilage by intentional aeration of the injection zone in the case of mixed drinks based on citrus syrups, and at the same time to keep the pulp particles of the citrus syrup in a desired state of suspension in the prepared mixed drink by intentional introduction of a predetermined quantity of air during the dispensing process, while avoiding foaming and clouding of the mixed drink by intentionally cutting off the introduction of air in the case of mixed drinks based on clear syrups, without the raised injection pressure having to be omitted even with these syrups.

For the purpose of dispensing viscous concentrates, particularly or organic ubstances, a cylindrical pumping space is defined by a hollow cylindrical body and two non-return valves associated with the ends of said body, said pumping space being supported in a radial direction at least during each pumping stroke in such a way that changes in volume are only possible in an axial direction in relation to said pumping space. The metering accuracy capable of being attained by means of the device of the invention makes it possible, with the device being of simple and low-cost construction, to dispense extremely small quantities of a concentrate with the device being operated at a pumping cycle frequency which corresponds to the frequency of the power mains by means of which an electromagnetic actuating coil is operated.

Method of and device for dispensing viscous concentrates of variable

A container for metered dispensing of liquid. The container in an inverted orientation is connected at its withdrawal and venting aperture to an electromagnetically actuated metering valve, wherein the metering valve has a movable valve element. Within the inverted container there is a cup-shaped vessel having a tear-off cover which simultaneously forms the closure of the container and has its rim sealingly connected to the rim of the withdrawal and venting aperture.
