A system is provided for filtering a substance from a solution for subsequent analysis of the substance. The system has a manifold and a removable cover capable of latching onto a base defining an interior of the manifold. Apertures are formed in the cover capable of receiving columns having a filter for filtering the substance from the solution as solution is drawn through the columns into the manifold. The columns may be integrally formed to provide a set of columns. As a result, an array of apertures can receive a number of sets of columns to conduct the filtering process.

A urinal for men who cannot use a toilet or are otherwise incapacitated has a canister with a removable spout. A manual seal in the spout can be manipulated between open and closed positions by a trigger on the exterior of the spout, and locked into the open position by a releasable locking arm. A vertically-arranged opening in a dome seal attached to the spout helps prevent spillage in the event the urinal is knocked onto its side when the manual seal is locked open. The spout is attached to the canister by a releasable collar, and thus can be easily separated for cleaning.

Banana bunch washing tray

A banana carrier, particularly a banana carrier is provided for transporting bananas on a plurality of trays from the picking fields to the packing area. The banana carrier is particularly adapted to be hung in rolling fashion on a cableway network arranged in the picking fields. The trays are arranged in stacked spaced apart fashion on the banana carrier. Each tray provides quarter panel sloped surfaces, circumscribed by drainage troughs which communicate to a drainage hole located in a central portion of each tray.

Weigh scale

A weighing instrument for the analysis of the weight-related characteristics of different materials has a pointer rotated about an axis in response to the weight of the material and which indicates a selected characteristic of the material on a selected graduated scale carried by an interchangeable slide. In the preferred embodiment, the weighing instrument is part of a diet control system also including an organized set of interchangeable slides each of which carries a number of concentric scales graduated in calories for respective food or drink items in a related food group. To facilitate handling of the slides, the slides are rigid and rectangular, and the weighing instrument has a rectangular slot for receiving and holding the slides under the force of their own weight. The pointer is protected by being carried on a circular disc and being covered by a viewing window which also serves to define the rectangular slot for receiving the slides. The slides are conveniently arranged in a horizontal stack which may be indexed according to major food groups. The slides in the stack are readily identified by generic names imprinted on the top edge faces of the slides.

This invention relates to an apparatus for dispensing cotton rolls. More particularly, this invention relates to an apparatus which may be supported on a work table, credenza, sideboard or the like in use in an operating room such as a dental operatory for readily supplying users such as dentists, surgeons, and assistants with absorbtive cotton rolls. The dispenser has a base which defines a delivery chute portion having horizontally spaced apart, upwardly directed surfaces, to which rolls are dispensed from a reservoir formed in part by a pair of planar lower wall portions, each lying on a plane parallel to said axis of rotation and diverging upwardly from a juncture line below the location of the axis of rotation of a dispensing wheel, and which direct rolls to the dispensing wheel which is mounted for rotation about a generally horizontal axis spaced above the delivery chute.

A software storage case comprises a cover and a base which are pivotal with respect to one another to form an easel for supporting documentation. The cover includes a first section for storing flexible magnetic discs and the documentation, while the base includes structure for locating and storing cassettes. The cover and the base both include anti-pilferage devices for the flexible magnetic discs and the cartridges.
