Filed:
Jan 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/051547
Inventors:
Karl R. Smith - Pompano Beach FL 33062
International Classification:
A61M 5178
US Classification:
604 36, 604514, 604517, 604275, 604310
Abstract:
An applicator for applying fluid from a squeeze bottle to various parts of the body that may be difficult to reach includes two rigid arms connected by an adjustable angle joint. One end of the first arm screws onto the bottle. The other end of the second arm ends in a tubular connector such as a grease gun fitting. A flexible tube provides a fluid passage between the bottle and the tubular connector. A variety of terminals for different purposes can sealingly snap onto the tubular connector. The terminals preferably have a grease fitting for easy connection. The terminals may include an enema tip, a douche tip, a bidet tip and a suntan lotion spreader. The arms may retract telescopically for compact transport and storage.

Battery Charging Apparatus

US Patent:
5971088, Oct 26, 1999
Filed:
Mar 20, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/821604
Inventors:
Karl R. Smith - Pompano Beach FL
International Classification:
B60K 100
US Classification:
180165
Abstract:
A battery charging apparatus for a vehicle having a vehicle propulsion mechanism, vehicle accelerator mechanism, a vehicle drive train mechanism and a vehicle electrical system includes a vehicle battery, including an electric generator having a generator output shaft drivably connected to the vehicle drive train mechanism, a generator disengagement switch, a generator circuit electrically connecting the generator to the generator disengagement switch and to the vehicle battery, a mechanism for connecting the generator disengagement switch to the vehicle accelerator mechanism so that the disengagement switch opens the generator circuit during operation of the vehicle accelerator mechanism, and so that the disengagement switch closes the generator circuit during non-operation of the vehicle accelerator mechanism to prevent loss of vehicle kinetic energy to the generator during vehicle deceleration. Where the vehicle drive train mechanism includes a vehicle drive shaft, the apparatus includes an armature assembled onto and a field structure built around the vehicle drive shaft. The apparatus additionally includes a generator support structure fastened to the frame of the vehicle.

Flood Control Valve Assembly

US Patent:
6095179, Aug 1, 2000
Filed:
Feb 16, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/251214
Inventors:
Karl Smith - Pompano Beach FL
International Classification:
F16K 1504, F16K 3122
US Classification:
13724723
Abstract:
A flood control valve assembly designed to be removably mounted within the outer or exposed end of a vertically or horizontally oriented drain pipe and structured to allow water to enter the drain pipe in the conventional fashion but prevent water from issuing from the open, outer end of the drain pipe such as during heavy rain and/or flood conditions. The valve assembly includes a tubular housing having a hollow interior and oppositely disposed open ends which define a path of liquid flow through the housing. The housing is removably secured on the interior of the drain pipe immediately adjacent to the open end thereof and further includes a buoyant material valve member movably mounted within the housing and being positionable into an out of a closed position relative to a valve seat secured adjacent to the outer end of the housing dependent upon the direction of water flow through the housing.
