A device for applying mastic material to the weld bead area of longitudinally welded pipe is the subject of this application. An extruder is mounted on a framework and receives mastic material in rope form from a bulk spool positioned above the extruder. The extruder incorporates heating elements to raise the temperature of the mastic. The extruder is provided with dual orifices for depositing a layer of the mastic material on either side of the weld bead of the pipe. A doctor blade is mounted to move along the pipe extending from the weld bead to a point on the pipe surface to smooth the mastic material which has been deposited. The doctor blade smooths the material evenly and causes it to form a bridge between the apex of the weld bead and a point on the pipe surface adjacent the base of the weld bead.

Applying mastic alongside weld bead

An improved toilet stool having an annular conduit seat with intake openings in communication with the inside of the toilet bowl. The improvement being a ventilating means which comprises an adapter plate situated underneath a tank. The adapter plate has a structure defining a conduit which is in communication with the toilet bowl through the intake openings of the seat. A housed filter element is in communication with the conduit seat through the conduit of the adapter plate, and a means is attached to the filter for removing normally contaminated air from the inside of the toilet bowl through the intake openings, the conduit of the adapter plate, and the filter element, in the order stated, for deodorizing the normally contaminated air and passing it into the surrounding atmosphere. A switch means is connected up to the upper rim of the toilet bowl and is operably connected to the means for removing such that pressure exerted on the top of the seat operates the switch means to activate the means for removing.
