This disclosure describes a kit comprising component for removing, replacing, and/or sealing toilet parts. In some embodiments, the kit comprises a flush valve assembly, fill valve assembly, a handle assembly, two tools, two gaskets, and packaging that also serves as one or more water containers. In some embodiments, the two gaskets are two conventional gaskets that can be combined to make a third gasket. In some embodiments, the combination of the two gaskets allows the creation of a synergistic gasket for sealing a tank-to-bowl interface than neither gasket could seal individually.

A fast charging station, battery system and method for charging battery systems can be applied to most battery types in use for electric vehicles (EVs), electronic devices, and wireless electrical machines. The system provides for two or more charging ports in the electronic device, such as an EV, that may be able to receive and recognize a charging type, such as charging voltage, current and the like, and provide directed charging to multiple battery sub-packs that make up the entire battery. By charging sub-packs in parallel, the charge time can be substantially reduced. The system further provides a charging station with two or more electrical connections provided at each stall, providing for fast charge of an electrical device, such as an EV, positioned at each stall.

Fast charging battery pack and methods to charge fast

A fast charging battery system and method for charging battery systems can be applied to most battery types in use for electric vehicles (EVs), electronic devices, and wireless electrical machines. The system could employ industry proven battery charger systems and off-the-shelf electrical components (e.g., contactors, relay switches, semiconductor parts, DC-DC converters, and the like) to keep cost and complexity low. The system provides for two or more charging ports in the electronic device, such as an EV, that may be able to receive and recognize a charging type, such as charging voltage, current and the like, and provide directed charging to multiple battery sub-packs that make up the entire battery. By charging sub-packs in parallel, the charge time can be substantially reduced.

A toilet refill restrictor apparatus includes an adapter interposed between a fill valve and a refill hose. The adapter is non-removably coupled to the fill valve and is configured with a larger proximal pathway, and a smaller distal metering pathway for restricting the refill flow rate. The adapter may be coupled to a shortened horizontal outlet formed at a top portion of the fill valve. The horizontal outlet is shortened to a length such that the refill hose cannot be connected directly to the outlet. The adapter may also be coupled to a fill valve without a horizontal outlet where an exit port is defined in the vertical conduit of the fill valve. The adapter includes a securing mechanism to prevent removal from the fill valve without excessive force or breaking the adapter.

An elongated air intake manifold, for coupling a compressor outlet to the air intake of an internal combustion engine, includes bottom, top and side walls progressing from a circular upstream end through a sweeping curved central section to a 90&#xb0; bend section terminating in a peripheral rim surrounding an air outlet port. The peripheral rim has opposed proximal and distal sides and a lower surface facing the engine air intake opening. A pair of proximal and distal mounting screw receptacles are formed integrally with and located on the interior and exterior of the manifold, respectively, for receiving mounting screws to secure the manifold to the engine. Preferably, the proximal mounting screw receptacles are arranged so that the heads of the mounting screws extend a minimum distance into the manifold interior. Optionally, one or more turning vanes may be positioned in the bend section interior of the manifold.

A gasket assembly includes an upper housing forming a seal with the outlet of a bathroom fixture, and a lower housing forming a seal with a sewer pipe. The lower housing has an outer surface extending along an axis and a toroidal gasket disposed in sealing relationship with the outer surface and the sewer pipe. To accommodate larger sewer pipes, the outer surface can be formed on an adapter and a second gasket provided to form a seal with the adapter. In an associated method for mounting the gasket assembly, the gasket is rolled axially in a continuous sealing relationship with the lower housing.

A toilet cleaning dispenser system adapted for placement in a toilet tank includes a hanger, a dispenser housing and a cartridge device removably coupled to the dispenser housing. The cartridge device, which includes a cleanser tablet enclosed within a cartridge housing, is inserted into a cavity of the dispenser housing and turned in one direction to lock the device and, alternatively, in an opposite direction to unlock the device. The cartridge housing may be formed to turn as one unit, or be formed as a basket and a rotatable cap that can be turned with respect to the basket. The dispenser housing includes an inlet water trap and an outlet water trap, each comprising a pair of concentric, nested tubes that retain liquid after flushing so as to prevent fumes from exiting the dispenser housing into the toilet tank.

Dispenser and chemical cartridge combination

A cleaning dispenser assembly to be used in connection with a toilet tank is coupled to a fill valve and an overflow tube of the tank. The dispenser assembly includes a container with a removable lid. A refill tube is coupled to a fill valve of the tank and the container. Tall and short discharge tubes are coupled to the container at different heights to facilitate the withdrawal of fluid from the container while preventing a vacuum from developing within the closed container. U-traps are formed in the refill tube and the discharge tubes to retain a portion of liquid in a steady state so as to seal the passageways in order to prevent gases from escaping into the tank.
