An apparatus for removing a clog from a drain pipe, the apparatus having: (a) a container comprising a product chamber; (b) a pressurization assembly in fluid communication with the inlet; (c) a shaft coupled to the container, the shaft comprising a proximal end and a distal end; and (d) projections extending outwardly from the shaft. The product chamber is adapted to receive a drain cleaning composition and the product chamber has an inlet and an outlet. The pressurization sub-assembly has a canister of pressurized fluid and an adapter coupled to the container and including a socket defining a receptacle configured to receive at least a portion of the canister. The shaft has an exterior surface sized for insertion into the drain pipe. The shaft also has a channel that provides fluid communication between the proximal end and the distal end.

A modular housing unit is fabricated from an intermodal cargo container. The rectangular box comprising the cargo container is cut into three sections. A right triangular section is fabricated from a center portion. The remaining portion is folded to form a 'L'-shaped structure. The triangular section is reinserted into the vertex of the 'L' to form a substantially triangular housing unit. A door is cut therein to provide means for entering the building. Intermodal cargo containers ranging from 20-53 feet in length can thus be employed to provide up to 424 square feet of living space.

A ceiling fan air freshener diffusion device comprising a scent receptive chamber, a removable drawer for holding a volatile scented medium and a heater for volatilizing the scent medium. The chamber comprises a housing defining a cap for mounting to the hub of a ceiling fan and a continuous sidewall extending downward from the cap. The sidewall defines scent diffusion orifices and a drawer receptive opening. A floor is secured to the housing, abutting the sidewall to seal the housing. An adjustment baffle captivated between the floor and the cap also defines scent diffusion control orifices for regulating diffusion of scent in conjunction with the scent diffusion orifices defined in the sidewall. A tab extending from the baffle through an adjustment slot in the side wall is used to control the aperture defined by the sidewall and baffle orifices together. The preferred embodiment uses a switched resistance heating element located within a base below the floor of the chamber to volatilize the scent medium. The base comprises a bottom and upwardly projecting walls. The base defines orifices to receive a lighting kit. Alternatively, byproduct heat from the fan motor or one or more lights can be used to volatilize the scent medium contained within the drawer.

An improved tram transmission (10) for transferring power produced by a tram motor (54) to a tram crawler chain (66) more efficiently than transmission of prior art. The improved tram transmission (10) includes a motor drive shaft receptacle (12) which is dimensioned for receiving the drive shaft (56) of a tram motor (54). A plurality of cooperating pairs of gears (70) are provided to cooperate with the motor drive shaft receptacle (12) such that the power produced by the motor (54) may be transferred to the crawler chain (66). A plurality of shafts (73) are included to support the gears (70) and are held in place with ball bearings (183). The main shaft (76) carries a hub (158) which includes a plurality of sprockets (166) for engaging the crawler chain (66). A housing (18) is provided for shielding the components (12, 70, and 183) from debris and moisture and for containing lubricant (68) for the gears (70), shafts (73) and bearings (183).

An apparatus for a game simulating life experiences, comprising in combination, a game board having a main path of successive playing positions is provided with a short-cut path from one side of the main path to the other, and a return path from the short-cut to a position on the main path intermediate the entrance and exit of the short-cut. The disclosed game, by way of example, relates to college experiences and represents the effects which drinking may have on success in college life and graduation therefrom.

A conveyor gathering systems suitable for use with a continuous narrow seam mining machine is disclosed. The system is a single continuous conveyor extending from the auger or cutting head to the rear or discharge end of the machine and is particularly useful with a dozer gathering head. Conveying of the mined material is achieved by an endless conveyor comprised of 'flight bars' attached at each end to two drive chains. The single continuous conveyor is driven from the rear of the mining machine, may pivot up and down, and makes a very small diameter, 180 degree turn around, at the front of the mining machine adjacent the auger or cutting head. Because the conveying system uses a single continuous system of flight bars, the tensions on the conveyor can be significantly reduced such that the conveyor drive motor can be selected having a work capacity less than one half of other systems.

Conveyor system for a continuous mining machine

A self-stripping, recycling adsorbing unit for recovery of hydrocarbons from a mixture of hydrocarbon vapors and air, including two adsorbers filled with adsorbent material, automatically controlled valves which route the mixed vapor flow through one adsorber and connect the other to a stripping apparatus, and instrumentation which automatically determines when the flows through the adsorbers should be interchanged and which activates the automatic valves to accomplish this interchange. The stripping apparatus includes a compressor with suction arranged to alternately evacuate the adsorbers and with its discharge connected to a condenser. Condensed hydrocarbon is sent to storage and uncondensed vapors are recycled through the active adsorber together with mixed air and hydrocarbon vapors entering the system for processing. An alternative means of stripping the adsorbers utilizes the compressor, condenser and related equipment from an existing vapor recovery system to which the adsorbers may be connected for stripping. Modifications to the existing system include instrumention to provide for and restrict the use of existing components for stripping the adsorbers to time intervals when such components are otherwise inactive. In further embodiments, the compressor output is periodically routed through selected adsorbers, heating the adsorber selected for regeneration whereby the adsorber is warmed up to induce evaporation of the hydrocarbon collected therein.
