Filed:

Nov 14, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/599094

Inventors:

Timothy Reeves - Los Angeles CA, US

International Classification:

A45B 3/00

US Classification:

135 66, 135 72, 135 79, 294 24

Abstract:

A magnetic attachment is disclosed to be coupled to a conventional walking cane at the handle end thereof that is grasped by the hand of a user. By turning the cane upside down, the magnetic attachment at the handle end can be moved into contact with a magnetic object (e. g. , a set of keys) to be lifted off the floor and carried to the hand of the user. By virtue of the foregoing, an elderly or disabled individual will not have to bend over or kneel down to retrieve his dropped keys, or the like. In a first embodiment, the magnetic attachment is a coupling ring that is molded over and around a magnet. The coupling ring has a longitudinally extending channel that is sized to removably receive and surround the handle end of the walking cane. In a second embodiment, the magnetic attachment is a magnet that is retained within a hole that extends laterally through the handle end of the cane.

Appl. No.:

7/947301

Inventors:

Jon D. Heller - Denver CO
Kenneth J. Heller - Englewood CO
Timothy Reeves - Arvada CO

Assignee:

Nutech Environmental Corp. - Denver CO

International Classification:

G05D 900

US Classification:

422106

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for treating nuisance odor streams is provided. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method and apparatus in which deodorizing chemical agents are applied to an evaporative reaction pack situated within a gas chamber having an air stream running therethrough. The evaporative reaction pack provides a reaction zone within which the chemical agent is evaporated to facilitate a gas-gas or vapor phase interaction between the chemical agent and odoriferous compounds contained in the air stream. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for batch processing of sewage within a wet well to prevent the formation of undesired compounds. In one embodiment, a predetermined amount of chemical agent, sufficient for treating the amount of sewage that the well can hold, is added to an evacuated wet well in coordination with the pumping of sewage from the wet well.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for treating nuisance odor streams is provided. One embodiment of the invention is directed to a method and apparatus in which deodorizing chemical agents are applied to an evaporative reaction pack situated within a gas chamber having an air stream running therethrough. The evaporative reaction pack provides a reaction zone within which the chemical agent is evaporated to facilitate a gas--gas or vapor phase interaction between the chemical agent and odoriferous compounds contained in the air stream. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for batch processing of sewage treatment agents within a wet well to prevent the formation of undesired compounds. In one embodiment, a predetermined amount of chemical agent, sufficient for treating the amount of sewage that the well can hold, is added to an evacuated wet well in coordination with the pumping of sewage from the wet well. Yet a further aspect of the invention relates to a method and apparatus for coordinating the automatic dispensing of sewage treatment chemicals at several locations in a sewage collection system to make efficient and effective use of the treatment chemicals and reduce or eliminate manual application of such chemicals.
