Abstract

A pool cover having solar energy heating capability is provided comprising sheet material adapted to furl about a reelless locus in a storage position and to be deployed in an extended position. The cover includes means continuously resiliently urging the sheet material into its furled position for storage, and means selectively overcoming and resisting said urging, comprising inflatable structure selectively inflated in sheet material deploying relation. The cover includes a wall portion responsive to solar energy to transfer heat to water, such as pool water, in contact therewith.

A description is given of a radiographic apparatus for manipulating a quantity of radioactive material between a stored position and a use position including a capsule of said radioactive material, a storage unit with means defining a passage through it, for storing the capsule in the passage and shielding the surrounding environment from the stored radioactive material, and manipulating means connectible to said storage unit at a first end of said passage for moving said capsule between a stored position within the passage and a use position outside the second end of said passage, the improvement comprising: a shutter mountedmore »« less
Multiple layer insulation cover

Patent Farrell, J J ; Donohoe, A J

A multiple layer insulation cover for preventing heat loss in, for example, a greenhouse, is disclosed. The cover is comprised of spaced layers of thin foil covered fabric separated from each other by air spaces. The spacing is accomplished by the inflation of spaced air bladders which are integrally formed in the cover and to which the layers of the cover are secured. The bladders are inflated after the cover has been deployed in its intended use to separate the layers of the foil material. The sizes of the material layers are selected to compensate for sagging across the widthmore »« less

Patent Mix, R E ; Brutchen, G W ; Key, T E

In an electric storage battery comprising a container having a plurality of walls defining at least one cell compartment, a galvanic cell element in the compartment is described the element comprising a stack of substantially planar positive and negative polarity plates alternately interleaved one with the other and separated one from the other by a resilient, fibrous, glass mat compressed between the plates in a direction normal to the principal planes of the plates, and a cover secured to the container and lying in a plane which is substantially parallel to the principal planes of the plates, the improvement comprising:more »« less
Method and apparatus for chemical treatment of subterranean well bores

Patent Coronado, M P

This patent describes an inflatable well treatment tool suitable for insertion into a well through a well conduit disposed in a well bore. It comprises a central tubular body assemblage connectable to a fluid supply conduit extending to the surface; the central tubular body assemblage defining a central fluid passage communicating with the fluid supply conduit; an outer tubular assemblage surrounding a medial portion of the central tubular body and cooperating therewith to define a generally annular fluid passage surrounding the central tubular body assemblage; resilient means urging the central tubular body assemblage downwardly relative to the outer tubular assemblagemore »« less
