BY glam Patented Oct. 26, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 6 Claims.
This invention relates .to new and useful improvements in surgical splints and more particularly to a splint having novel and improved features over that disclosed in my copending application Serial No. 793,223, filed December ,22, 1947, now U. S. Patent No. 2,573,715.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a surgical splint composed of quickly and readily adjustable parts, whereby the splint may be employed on various parts of the human body in a convenient manner.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a surgical splint including an open cage like member that will enclose a part of a users body and which member is so constructed as to permit its length and circumference to be reduced or increased in a minimum time to fit anatomies of varying proportions.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a surgical splint including a U-shaped base member whose web portion is composed of two slidably and adjustably connected legs removably secured to the leg portions of the member, together with a plurality of guard members and cradle members that include slidably connected sections mounted on the leg portions of the base member.
A still further aim of the present invention is to provide a surgical splint that is simple and practical in construction, strong and reliable in use, small and compact in structure, efficient and durable in operation, inexpensive to manufacture, and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.
Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
Figure l is a side View of the invention in use;
Figure 2 is a view showing the invention placed upon the arm of a person whose hand is amputated;
Figure 3 is an enlarged plan view of Figure 1 but showing the web portion of the U-shaped base member disposed coplanar with the leg portions of the base member;
Figure 4 is a side view of Figure 3 and with dotted lines showing the web portion of the base member disposed perpendicular to the leg portions of the base member;
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view taken substantially on the plane of section line 55 of Figure 1;
Figure 6 is a group perspective view of one of the guard members used in the invention, the fasteners not being shown;
Figure 7 is an enlarged detail sectional view taken substantially on the plane of section line 1-7 of Figure 3;
Figure 8 is an enlarged view of Figure 2 but showing a U-shaped longitudinal guard member incorporated in the device;
Figure 9 is a fragmentary side view of the U-shaped longitudinal guard member used in Figure 8; and,
Figure 10 is an end view of Figure 8.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, wherein for the purpose of illustration, there is disclosed a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the numeral 10 represents a flexible and resilient U--shaped base member of suitable material that includes a pair of elongated leg portions 12 and I4 having longitudinally spaced transverse weakened areas i5, and a web portion [6.
The web portion i6 is composed of two arcuate sections l8 and 20 that are slidably and adjustably connected in a manner now to be described. A channel 22 is formed at the inner end of the section 18 and slidably receives the inner end of the section 20. Section 20 is provided with spaced parallel, transverse rows of weakened areas 24 and section 20 is also provided with an aperture 26 between each pair of adjacent areas 24. Channel 22 is formed with a pair of apertures 28 that will oppose a pair of the apertures 26 and fasteners 30 are extended through registering apertures 26 and 28 to join the sections l8 and '20.
The outer ends of the sections i8 and 20 are each formed with two apertures that receive fasteners 32 and 34. The fasteners 32 constitute pivots and extend through accommodating apertures in plates 36 at the forward ends of the leg portions l2 and i4, whereas the fasteners 34 selectively extend through apertures 38 in the plates 36 to permit the web portion It to be retained coplanar with or at right angles to the leg portions [2 and [4, depending whether or not the base member is applied as shown in Figure 2 to a stump or to a complete arm as shown in Figure 1.
Guard members 40 and cradle members 62 constitute a means connecting the leg portions I2 and M. Each of the guard members and cradle members is composed of two arcuate sections 42 and 44 whose outer ends are bent outwardly upon themselves to form loops or guide sleeves 46 and 3 48 that slidably but non-rotatably receive the leg portions 12 and I4.
A guide channel 50 is formed at the inner end of each section 42 and slidably receives the inner end of a companion section 44. Sections 44 are also provided with spaced parallel rows of transverse perforations or weakened areas 52 and openings 54 are provided in the sections ,44 between adjacent rows of perforations 52. The channels 50 each includes a pair of apertures 56 that will oppose selected openings 54 and fasteners 58 extend through the apertures 56 and the openings 54 in registry therewith to permit adjustment of the guard members and the cradle members.
The cradle members 62 are wider than the guard members 40 and their arch is slightly less than that of the guard members since they are to rest about and against protective arch pads of resilient material 60. These pad engaging cradle members support the devic e upon the anatomy and are designated by the numeral 62 but are constructed identical to the guard members 40.
It will thus be seen that the present splint is composed of readily adjustable parts whose individual lengths may be reduced by breaking along their weakened areas. Also, the length of the splint may be conveniently reduced for a particular use and the distance between the leg portions 12 and I4 varied for a particular purpose.
In order to further increase the efiectiveness of the present surgical splint, there is provided a U- shaped, flexible, longitudinal guard member 64, attachable to or detachable from the device, illustrated in Figures 8, 9 and 10.
U-shaped, flexible, longitudinal guard member 64 is disposed in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the U-shaped base member ID. The central portion of the web portion of member 64 is formed with an aperture that receives one of the fasteners 30. The leg portions of member 64 extend across the guard members 40. The leg portions of member 54 are provided with longitudinally spaced apertures 66 that will accommodate one of the fasteners 58 of each guard member 40 to secure the member 64 to each guard member 40. The leg portions of the member 64 are also provided with longitudinally spaced transverse weakened areas 58 to permit a reduction in the length of the member 64 in accordance with a particular requirement.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
1. A surgical splint comprising a sectional U- shaped base member adapted to embrace a part of the human body, said base member including a pair of leg portions and a web portion joining said leg portions, said leg portions having a plurality of longitudinally spaced transverse weakened areas whereby the length of the leg portions may be reduced, a plurality of guard members and cradle members slidably adjustably mounted on said leg portions and joining the latter, and
means removably fastening said web portion to said leg portions and selectively retaining the web portion in a plane common with the leg portions or a plane perpendicular to said leg portions.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said guard members, said web portion and cradle members each includes a pair of arcuate sections adjustably connected together, whereby said leg portions may be moved selectively toward and away from each other.
3. The combination of claim 1 wherein said guard members and cradle members each includes a pair of arcuate sections having inner and outer ends, the inner ends of each pair of sections overlapping each other, means adjustably connecting the inner ends of each pair of sections together.
4. The combination of claim 1 wherein each of said guard members and cradle members includes a pair of arcuate sections having inner and outer end portions, said outer end portions terminating in loops slidably receiving said leg portions, a channel at the inner end portion of one section of each guard member and cradle member slidably receiving the inner end portion of the other section of each guard member and cradle member, and fasteners joining the inner end portions of each guard member and cradle member.
5. A surgical splint comprising a pair of parallel members having outer ends formed with flat extensions, a U-shaped web portion having its ends pivoted to said extensions for swinging movement of the web portion relative to said parallel members, each end of said web portion having an aperture therein, said extensions each having a pair of apertures for selectively registering with the apertures in said Web portion, one of said pair of apertures in each extension being in registry with the apertures in said web portion when the latter is disposed perpendicular to the pair of members, the other of said pair of apertures in said extensions being in registry with the apertures in said web portion when the latter is disposed in the plane of the parallel members, and fasteners extending through the apertures in the web portion and through one aperture in each extension to retain the web portion perpendicular to or in the plane of the parallel members.
6. The combination of claim 5 and an elongated U-shaped guard member disposed in a plane perpendicular to the plane of said parallel members, a plurality of cradle members having ends engaged with said parallel members, and means removably securing said U-shaped guard member to each of said cradle members.

VIDEO: Lonnie Holley Releases 'Six Space Shuttles and 144,00 Elephants' Music Video
Lonnie Holley has debuted the music video for his song 'Six Space Shuttles and 144,00 Elephants' - check it out below!
Holley was born on February 10, 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama, the seventh of twenty-seven children. From the age of 5, Holley worked various jobs: picking up trash at a drive-in movie theatre, washing dishes, and cooking. He lived in a whiskey house, on the state fairgrounds, and in several foster homes. His early life was chaotic and Holley was never afforded the pleasure of a real childhood.
Since 1979, Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creativity. His art and music, born out of struggle, hardship, but perhaps more importantly, out of furious curiosity and biological necessity, has manifested itself in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, performance, and sound.
Holley's sculptures are constructed from found materials in the oldest tradition of African American sculpture. Objects, already imbued with cultural and artistic metaphor, are combined into narrative sculptures that commemorate places, people, and events.
Holley did not start making and performing music in a studio nor does his creative process mirror that of the typical musician. His music and lyrics are improvised on the spot and morph and evolve with every event, concert, and recording. In Holley's original art environment, he would construct and deconstruct his visual works, re-purposing their elements for new pieces. This often led to the transfer of individual narratives into the new work creating a cumulative composite image that has depth and purpose beyond its original singular meaning. The layers of sound in Holley's music, likewise, are the result of decades of evolving experimentation.
The Making of Keeping A Record Of It
In November of 2006, Lonnie Holley joined a recording project in Gee's Bend, Alabama. Matt Arnett rented an old church, hired an engineer, and set up a recording studio inside Friendship Baptist Church. During the day Matt, Amos Harvey, and Brando Marius (the engineer) worked to record the rapidly disappearing acappella hymns and spirituals found in this tiny Alabama hamlet. As the recording day would come to a close, an evening recording session with Lonnie Holley would begin. These were the first songs Holley would ever record using state of the art equipment. Prior to this session, the only recordings of Holley's music were homemade recordings. Working late into the night (over the course of almost a week), Holley recorded three complete tracks and parts of at least two others (which he has yet to return to).
During the recordings in Gee's Bend, Holley played a variety of instruments, from keyboard and synthesizer to the pastor's chair. It was a great time of experimentation for Holley and set the groundwork for the recordings that would come years later, many of which can be found on Just Before Music, Holley's debut record with Dust-to-Digital, as well as his follow-up Keeping a Record of It.

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly
from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos
are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos
(as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of
Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr
user and use Flickr Stats you
may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer).
Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see
Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples.
If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a)
make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by
Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:
http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself
From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area
and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org. (a few people with weird characters in their user names may have had problems)Log In To Flickr Now

Matt Doe
So we are over i cant lie anymore
to myself
so now forever no love anymore
i wonder the streets trying to get home tonight
heart shatered with no hope at all
i know now that you were all that i loved
it strange how careless love is
I stand on a vortex my ending is craving
not one in oblivion for you
new day same problem tired and alone
endavours all failures
keep turning away
if this is my madness im reeling just screaming
a vision of sadness alone

FOX boss Kevin Reilly said he is open to seeing Britney Spears return to "The X Factor" for Season 3.
Reports emerged over the holidays that Britney would not return to the show, which suffered a ratings decline during its second season, but the FOX Chairman of Entertainment, suggested on Tuesday he was pleased with her performance as a judge.
"I actually thought it went very, very well. I mean, it was sort of fraught with unknowns. And I think Britney did a really good job," Reilly told reporters at the FOX portion of the Television Critics Association Winter Session 2013 in Pasadena, Calif.
"People remain fascinated with her and always will be," he continued. "She's just an interesting figure who's lived a unique life and I thought she brought some of that and people got to know her a little bit. Maybe some people were waiting for… more drastic displays of some nature that never came, so for those expecting that, it didn't happen, but I think pound for pound… 'The X Factor' was excellent this year."
Reilly said he hasn't been part of discussions with "X Factor" Executive Producer Simon Cowell regarding the judges' bench in Season 3 just yet.
"For next year, I don't know. Simon's been on vacation. He's was exhausted. He hasn't even talked about any of this going forward," he said.
When asked if he would be open to having her back though, Reilly replied, "yeah."
"The X Factor" will return next fall on FOX.

A pool cleaner floats on the surface of a pool. The cleaner includes a pump and filter, the filter being connected downstream of the pump. A vacuum head, connected by a hose to the pump, is moved around the pool, to direct water from the pool through the pump and filter. Due to the absence of any filter on the upstream side of the pump, the cleaner maintains its efficiency for a longer time than comparable cleaners of the prior art. The cleaner may also include a rotary strainer, placed upstream of the pump, for removing large pieces of debris. The strainer includes a slidable, transparent access cover which allows visual monitoring of the condition of the strainer, and permits easy access to the interior of the strainer, for removal of debris. In another embodiment, the cleaner includes a filter unit having a continuous sheet of filter material which advances automatically when the filter material previously exposed to the water has become clogged. The cleaner therefore substantially speeds the process of cleaning a pool.
1. A method of cleaning a pool, the method comprising:
a) moving a floating cleaning apparatus along a surface of a pool, the cleaning apparatus having a chassis which houses a motor, a pump, and a filter unit, the filter unit comprising an enclosure defined by two opposing side walls and a continuous sheet of filter material disposed in a V-shape, wherein the V-shape defines an interior region and an exterior region of the filter unit,
b) operating the pump to conduct water from the pool into the interior region of the filter unit, the operating step being performed while the apparatus is being moved along the surface of the pool,
c) selecting a level of water in the interior region of the filter which level represents a maximum desired level,
d) determining when water in the interior region of the filter unit reaches the maximum desired level selected in step (c), and
e) advancing the filter material when the water in the interior region reaches the maximum desired level.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein step (b) includes diffusing the water as it enters the interior region of the filter unit.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein all steps of the method are performed while maintaining the V-shape of the filter material.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein step (b) includes the step of directing water from the pool through a rotary strainer before the water reaches the filter unit, the rotary strainer having means for viewing, and for gaining access to, an interior region of the strainer, wherein method further includes the step of viewing the interior region of the strainer.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein step (b) is performed such that water from the pool flows first to the pump and thereafter to the filter unit.
This is a division of application Ser. No. 09/075,570, filed May 11, 1998.
The present invention relates to the field of maintenance of swimming pools and the like, and provides a simple, reliable, and efficient cleaning device for such pools.
Vacuum cleaners for swimming pools have been known, as exemplified by the cleaning device shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,581,075. The latter patent, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, describes a cleaner having a pump and filter assembly which floats on the surface of a pool, while a vacuum head is moved around the pool to clean it. The flow of water produced by the pump also provides a propulsion force to drive the cleaner around the pool.
Pool cleaners such as that shown in the above-cited patent, and other similar pool cleaners of the prior art, have the disadvantage that they require filters disposed upstream of the pump. Positioning the filter ahead of the pump degrades the performance of the cleaner because the pressure exerted by the water in the pool is inherently limited, and as the filter fills with debris, it becomes increasingly difficult to push water through the system. It then becomes necessary to reduce the height of the vacuum head, relative to the bottom of the pool, so as to maintain efficiency of operation. As the filter fills even more, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain a desired throughput. The result is that, with pool cleaners of the prior art, it is generally necessary to make two or more passes through each area of the pool, because as the filter is somewhat clogged, the cleaner may be moving only half the flow of water that it did when the filter was fresh.
The present invention provides a pool cleaner which solves the above-described problem. The pool cleaner of the present invention substantially reduces the time and effort required to clean a pool. Moreover, in one embodiment, the present invention substantially automates the task of changing filters, thereby further reducing the time and effort required to clean a pool.
The pool cleaner of the present invention comprises a chassis which holds a pump and a motor to drive the pump. The chassis also holds one or more flotation devices, and a filter connected to the discharge hose of the pump. The pump has an intake port suitable for attachment to a hose which can be connected to a vacuum head. The vacuum head and hose can be manipulated throughout the pool, such that the debris in the pool is sucked into the hose, through the pump, and into the filter. The filter sits downstream of the pump, so that the incoming water does not pass through any filter before reaching the pump. The pool cleaner floats on the surface of the pool, and is pulled around the pool manually by the operator. The cleaner has no independent means of propulsion.
The filter may take the form of a basket which is mounted on the chassis, and connected to the discharge hose of the pump. Alternatively, the filter may comprise a filter unit which includes a continuous length of filter material, preferably arranged on rollers. The rollers are turned automatically when the filter material becomes clogged, thereby exposing fresh filter material to the incoming fluid stream, and thus effectively changing the filter.
In the preferred embodiment, the pool cleaner also includes a rotary strainer, connected in the fluid line leading to the intake port of the pump. The strainer traps relatively large debris that would harm the pump if allowed to pass into the cleaner. The strainer comprises a generally cylindrical body having a rotating impeller within the body. The impeller rotates under the influence of the incoming water which is drawn in by the pump. The strainer includes a retractable, transparent access cover, which enables the operator to see when debris is trapped within the strainer, and to reach and remove the debris easily.
The chassis includes a rack which can hold some or all of the length of the cleaning hose. The chassis has wheels which facilitate movement of the cleaner when it is not floating in a pool.
The present invention therefore has the primary object of providing a cleaner for swimming pools and the like.
The invention has the further object of providing a pool cleaner which is simple, relatively inexpensive, and reliable.
The invention has the further object of providing a pool cleaner in which incoming water does not pass through a filter before passing through a pump.
The invention has the further object of providing a pool cleaner which floats on the surface of a pool, and which does not have independent means of propulsion.
The invention has the further object of providing a pool cleaner whose throughput does not diminish as its filter becomes increasingly clogged.
The invention has the further object of providing a pool cleaner having a rotary strainer which permits easy inspection of its inside components, and which facilitates removal of debris.
The invention has the further object of providing a pool cleaner having a filter element which can be changed automatically when the filter becomes clogged.
The invention has the further object of substantially reducing the time and effort required to clean a pool.
The reader skilled in the art will recognize other objects and advantages of the present invention, from a reading of the following brief description of the drawings, the detailed description of the invention, and the appended claims.
FIG. 1 provides a perspective view of the pool cleaner of the present invention.
FIG. 2 provides a perspective view of the rotary strainer used in the pool cleaner of the present invention.
FIG. 3 provides a cross-sectional view showing the inside components of the rotary strainer of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 provides a perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the pool cleaner of the present invention, this embodiment having a continuous filter element.
FIG. 5 provides a side elevational and partially diagrammatic illustration of the filter unit of the embodiment of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 provides a perspective view of the filter unit of the embodiment of FIG. 4.
FIG. 1 provides a perspective view of a first embodiment of the pool cleaner of the present invention. The pool cleaner includes a chassis 1 which supports a pair of floats 8, a pump 6, and a filter basket 4. The pump is driven by motor 5, which is preferably a gasoline engine. The pump includes an intake port 7, adapted to receive hose 13, shown in dotted outline, which hose can be connected to a vacuum head (not shown). The pump also has a discharge port which, in FIG. 1, is connected to discharge hose 2. The discharge hose directs water ejected by the pump into the filter basket.
The filter basket preferably includes a lid 3 and a pressure relief valve 12. The basket is attached to the chassis. The chassis also includes rack 9, which can support and store an excess length of hose (not shown), and handle 11, which facilitates positioning of the cleaner. The chassis includes wheels 10 (only one of which is visible in FIG. 1), to make it easy to transport the unit when it is not floating in a pool.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show a rotary strainer which is preferably used as part of the pool cleaner of the present invention. The rotary strainer comprises a generally cylindrical housing 16, and can be attached anywhere in a fluid line connected to intake port 7 of the pump 6. In the preferred embodiment, the housing is made of steel, but it could be formed of other materials, and the invention is not limited by the material used. Although the strainer could be attached directly to the intake port, it is preferred that the strainer be positioned farther away from the intake port, and near the operator of the pool cleaner, for reasons to be apparent from the description below. In the preferred embodiment, therefore, the rotary strainer may be separated from the pump and chassis by a relatively long length of hose.
The rotary strainer includes a rotating impeller 22 which has a plurality of outwardly-extending vanes 24 mounted around a cylindrical hub. The impeller is mounted over a bushing or bearing 23, which is preferably made of a plastic such as Teflon, and the latter assembly is mounted over shaft 30. The shaft is welded to shaft mount 35 which holds the shaft in place. A nose cone 21 is a nut which attaches to the impeller shaft, and provides smooth fluid flow over and around the impeller.
The housing of the rotary strainer also includes retractable access cover 27 which sits between the housing and pressure bands 28. The pressure bands are preferably made of an elastic material, such as rubber, and serve to hold the access cover onto the cylindrical housing. The cover 27 is preferably made of clear plastic, such as an acrylic. The cover defines a window through which an operator can determine visually whether any large debris is trapped in the strainer. Moreover, the cover slides or rotates so as to provide access to the interior of the strainer. Thus, any trapped debris can be periodically removed manually. The pressure bands assist in gripping the access cover; one can easily retract the access cover by moving the bands, which engage the access cover by friction, and cause the access cover to slide over the underlying housing material.
The diameter of the hub of the impeller is preferably chosen such that it allows a clearance of about 0.625 inches from the inner wall of the housing 16. This clearance will trap relatively large pieces of debris and prevent them from entering the pump. It has been found that the pump is not harmed by debris small enough to pass through the clearance.
The impeller turns under the influence of water that is moved through the unit, by the pump, in the direction shown by arrows 29. If a large piece of debris becomes trapped in the impeller, the impeller blades will stop turning. This condition is easily monitored visually, through the clear access cover 27, and can be easily corrected by sliding the access cover to expose the interior of the strainer, and then manually removing the debris. This is why it is preferred to position the strainer near the operator. With this arrangement, the operator can frequently monitor the condition of the impeller, and can take corrective action when necessary, without substantial effort.
The filter used in the embodiment of FIG. 1 is intended to be discarded when it is filled with debris. The filter can be easily replaced simply by inserting a new filter into the basket. The filter preferably has a capacity that is great enough to allow cleaning of a large pool without changing the filter. The pool cleaner itself therefore does not need to be cleaned; the major maintenance task is replacement of the filter.
In using the pool cleaner of the present invention, the operator connects a vacuum head (not shown in the drawings) to the pump. The vacuum head may be any vacuum head that is known in the prior art, as exemplified by the above-cited patent. The head itself forms no part of the present invention; the invention can be used with a wide variety of vacuum heads. Such a head would be attached to the pump by a hose, such as hose 13 shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, and, as mentioned above, this hose may also be connected to a rotary strainer so that the water passes through the strainer before reaching the pump. The operator may wade through the pool, while pulling the floating cleaner around the pool, and while manipulating the vacuum head to clean various regions of the pool. Alternatively, the operator could manipulate a relatively long vacuum head while standing outside the pool, to accomplish essentially the same result.
FIG. 4 provides a perspective view of another embodiment of the pool cleaner of the present invention. The only difference between the embodiment of FIG. 4 and that of FIG. 1 is in the filter unit. Therefore, except for the filter unit, all reference numerals in FIG. 4 are the same as those of FIG. 1, as they identify the same components. The filter unit of the embodiment of FIG. 4, designated by reference numeral 34, has a continuous filter material, illustrated more fully in FIGS. 5 and 6, and explained below.
The essence of the embodiment of FIG. 4 is that the filter material is provided in the form of one or more continuous rolls, such that changing the filter is accomplished by advancing the rolls. The changing of the filter is preferably done automatically, as will be described below.
As shown by FIGS. 5 and 6, the filter unit of the embodiment of FIG. 4 includes a plurality of rollers arranged such that the filter material forms a V-shaped enclosure. The filter unit includes feed rollers 41 and 42, disposed at the top ends of the "V", and take-up roller 43, located below feed roller 41. The take-up roller is positively driven by motor 44, which is preferably an electric motor. The take-up roller is the only roller that is driven; it pulls sheets of filter material through the apparatus, causing the feed rollers to rotate. The feed rollers 41 and 42 are therefore purely passive devices, rotating only due to the force exerted by the filter material being unwound from them.
The V-shaped structure is defined, in part, by a pair of mesh panels 45 and 46. These mesh panels support the movable sheets of filter material, while allowing fluid to flow through them and out of the filter unit. Sheets 47 and 48 of filter material are unwound, respectively, from rollers 41 and 42, and pass between soft rollers 49 and 50 before continuing towards the take-up roller. The soft rollers, which are preferably made of a foam material, squeeze the sheets together. For clarity of illustration, the sheets of material are shown with some slack and somewhat separated, in the region between the soft rollers and the take-up roller.
Water enters the filter unit through water inlet 53, which may be the same as pump discharge hose 2 of FIG. 4. Spray diffuser 51 directs the incoming water evenly around float switch 52, and helps to distribute the water equally to both sides of the "V". The float switch is connected to operate motor 44.
The filter unit also includes side walls 55 and 56, which are most clearly illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 6. For clarity of illustration, side wall 55 is shown in FIG. 6 to be made of transparent material, for the purpose of allowing the interior of the filter unit to be seen in this figure. For the same reason, side wall 56 is shown to be made of clear material in FIG. 5. The side walls could be transparent or opaque; what is important is that they are substantially impervious to water, so that all water inside the "V" of the filter unit is made to pass through the filter material.
The filter unit also includes shield 57 which prevents incoming fluid from impacting the spent and dirty filter material that has accumulated on take-up roller 43. Without the shield, water flowing onto the take-up roller would tend to dislodge debris from the spent filter material, returning that debris to the pool being cleaned, thus undermining the cleaning effort.
As the filter material gradually becomes clogged with debris, the incoming water takes longer and longer to pass through the filter. Eventually, water accumulates inside the filter, and the water level rises. When the filter material is sufficiently clogged, the water level in the filter will reach the vicinity of float switch 52, which is positioned at a predetermined height above the bottom of the "V". The float switch then activates motor 44, thereby pulling a quantity of filter material through the system, such that the clogged material is wound on the take-up roller, and fresh material is withdrawn from rollers 41 and 42. The motor is programmed so that it advances by just enough to remove the clogged filter material from the "V", and to provide fresh filter material in its place. The water then readily passes through the fresh material, and the motor is deactivated. In this way, the pool cleaner changes its filter automatically, without the intervention of an operator.
In the preferred embodiment, the float switch is positioned to be actuated when the filter unit is about three-quarters filled with water. The exact position of the float switch can be varied, within the scope of the invention.
In all other respects, the embodiment of FIG. 4 is operated in the same way as that of FIG. 1.
Both of the above embodiments substantially reduce the time and effort needed to clean a pool. Because the filter is located downstream of the pump, the cleaner maintains maximum efficiency even when the filter becomes clogged. Thus, it is seldom necessary to clean the same area of the pool twice. The cleaner floats on the pool, and can be easily pulled around the pool by the operator.
Although the invention has been described with respect to two preferred embodiments, further variations are possible. For example, one could omit the strainer, or vary its position in the fluid line leading to the intake port of the pump. Instead of two sheets of filter material, in the embodiment of FIGS. 4-6, one could have one sheet, or some other number. The configuration of rollers and drive motor(s) could also be varied, within the scope of the invention. One could drive different combinations of rollers, for example. The number of floats could be varied. These and other modifications, which will be apparent to the reader skilled in the art, should be considered within the spirit and scope of the following claims.

Eddie Cibrian made an honest woman out of LeAnn Rimes!
After a long road, one of Hollywood's most talked-about, controversial couples married Friday evening in a intimate ceremony at a private estate in Malibu, Calif., Us Weekly has confirmed.
It's the second marriage for both the "CSI: Miami" actor, 37, and the Grammy-winning country singer, 28. Sparks famously flew between the pair on the 2008 set of their Lifetime movie, "Northern Lights." At the time, the costars were married to other people: Cibrian to makeup artist Brandi Glanville, mother to his sons Mason, 7, and Jake, 4; Rimes to backup dancer turned chef Dean Sheremet.
In March 2009, Us Weekly broke news of Cibrian and Rimes' ongoing extramarital affair. As both of their marriages crumbled, the two finally went public with their romance in August 2009.
"I know I didn't do it the right way," Rimes admitted of the affair in the "Great American Country Special Backstory: LeAnn Rimes," airing Sunday. "I didn't have the tools to know how to do it the right way, how to let go the right way. I'd never been taught that ... I have the strength [now] but I didn't at the time ... So, it got really messy, but I have learned a lot from that. And I'm not glad it happened, but I know why it did."
Rimes and Sheremet's divorce was finalized in June 2010 after eight years of marriage. Cibrian and Glanville -- who sparred with Rimes and her ex via Twitter and the press before recently calling a truce -- officially parted ways in September after nine years of marriage.
Meanwhile, Sheremet, 29, happily got engaged to his live-in love Sarah Silver in November.
In late December 2010, Cibrian and Rimes announced their own engagement. Cibrian popped the question with a huge 5-carat oval diamond engagement ring.
Rimes gushed to Us in February: "It's an exciting year and a lot to handle, but I've got a good man by my side, so he's helping ... I'm looking to settle into our life. It really will be great. Eddie really is the most supportive, sweetest man."

With the JHj deal, the dream left side of the field is gone.
We need to find out what we gave up.
I think I like it.
I like Rolen a lot, but I don't think we're going to win this year regardless with him. Hopefully we didn't pay too high a price.
He'll probably throw his back out hauling his luggage and never suit up.
Maybe the player from the Yankees tipped the scales. Wait and see for me as well....
Need to know the return ... and this darn well better be only one of a series of significant moves between now and Opening Day 2010, otherwise it's a wasted move.
Reynolds made it sound like EE wasn't part of the deal.
either a dramatic overpay or uhhh... I have no faith in WJ
With the Reds injury history this year, over under on when his back explodes?

I adore this color since it comes out to be a cherry red, not a straight up red. I saw ppl here mentioning it turned fushiaish on them. I don't like true reds..I have olive tone skin and red doesnt go with what I wear anyway. So, It's expected that it be "cherry" red and once that fades off, it will of course turn to pink. It's less serious than a red but still is serious color that's not too pink. I only wish Revlon's lipsticks would have better caps that stay on over time..but overall Love the color. Love that they have the np to match too. update 9/32/12: This color is actually beautiful on yellow /olive skinned girls. Despite what was mentioned by other raters.

Color: On me, Cherries in the Snow is fuchsia with no trace of red. My lips tend to turn lipsticks pinker than they look in the tube, so your mileage may vary. But I'd describe the color as a slightly darker version of Revlon Colorburst in Fuchsia: a bold (and, in my opinion, very pretty) magenta. I have pale, cool-toned skin and dark hair and I find the color flattering.
Formula: I've tried a few Super Lustrous lipsticks that felt greasy and faded very quickly, but Cherries in the Snow is a nice exception. The formula isn't terribly moisturizing, and applying lip balm before the lipstick isn't a bad idea.
But it lasted me several hours and faded evenly; I drank a cup of coffee and a glass of wine and was pleasantly surprised that most of the color stayed on my lips. I suspect you'd have to reapply after a meal, but that's not a drawback for me.
Overall: Definitely recommend. I can see why this lipstick is still popular after 60 years!

I thought I'd totally rock this lipstick, but I was wrong. I have very cool toned fair skin, with dark hair and eyes -- the type of coloring that should be perfect for this lipstick! Plus I like bold pinks and reds. But this lipstick... bold doesn't even describe it. It's a mix of in-your-face fuchsia and hot pink. The hot pink, I can handle. But the fuchsia... I can't. I just can't! But I can see some folks really rocking this for a night out clubbing or fun ladies night.
I do think that it does make a really pretty stain, though. So I'll probably use it for that.
PS: Revlon's Love That Red is everything I wanted Cherries in the Snow to be. It's a beautiful hot pink with a touch of red. No fuchsia.

Didn't look right on me, but gave it 4 lippies because you can't roll a color like this under the bus. I loved the texture, just bright in an odd way on me.

On me (a light cool-toned complexion with a mix of pink and yellow undertones), Cherries in the Snow rides along the undercurrents of being a rose and/or a berry while actually remaining a cool pink-based -if fuchsia were a red- red.
That sounded less complicated in my head. What I mean to say is that depending on the lighting and what colors I'm wearing, Cherries in the Snow sometimes verges on being more of a rose or more of a berry (both on the cool side, which on my winter complexion are both very flattering), although it's actually a fuchsia pinkish red. It seems important to say though that on me, Cherries in the Snow is still a red, I don't find it ACTUALLY pink as some other reviewers have.
I find this lipstick to be extremely versatile; not only for the sometimes-rose, sometimes-berry, always red variations in color it provides but because depending on how you apply, it can create a lovely and subtle stain, a standout dramatic lip, and even a very pretty "oh I'm just a little flushed here coming in from the cold" cream blush. The texture is creamy and not drying, the finish is matte (no sparkles or shimmer here), and the level of pigmentation is excellent so color lasts all day barring meals. And it's cheap. There really aren't many negatives that I can think of unless you better suit warmer reds or prefer more nude colors.

With a name like Cherries In The Snow, I was expecting a true, blue toned red, but,instead, Cherries In The Snow is a bold fuchsia/magenta lipstick. Surprisingly, I have no problem with the lipstick. I tend to thick fuchsia/magenta is my version of a "red lip". I do think the name is misleading though. Others may expect a blue toned red so, in that aspect, I deduct a lippie for that. But, as far as formula, nice, creamy and smooth lipstick with no funky lipstick taste or smell.

LOVE, LOVE this lipstick! I am always stopped by strangers complimenting the color. It lasts literally all day, I've fallen asleep with it and it didn't come off. Depending on how much you apply really depends on how deep the color will look. If I apply some of it, it's more of a pink, but a lot of it will make it look red. Either way, I love it. I recently spent $30 on a YSL lipstick and it doesn't even come close to this one!

Revlon's super lustrous lipstick in Cherries in the Snow is one cult favorite that I will let the masses have their way with. I have been looking for some different d/s lipsticks lately to try for fall. I like Revlon's formula and some of their other shades so I was willing to give this a go...especially with the raves I read via reviews and a board search. Not to mention the name conjures up all sorts of lovely color images.
This shade seems to typically be described as pinky red which is what I was looking for. On the right complexion it might be just that but on my NC25-30/N5 skintone it's an unflattering fuschia shade. I have a couple of brighter pink l/s in my stash for when I feel the urge to be bold and wasn't in the market for another so this was a fail. I bought it yesterday at Walmart and returned it promptly this morning. I wound up purchasing Cover Girl lip perfection in Flame which for my neutral-warm complexion is a better bet and a true pinky red shade. If you find Cherries garish, give CG Flame a go.

[Video] David Luiz Left In Tears After Cruel Prank Goes Too Far
Chelsea defender David Luiz may be known as the dressing room joker at Stamford Bridge, but he wasn't laughing when he was on the wrong end of a cruel prank a few years ago.
During his time in Portugal with Benfica, the Brazilian centre back was singled out for an elaborate prank for a Portuguese TV show. While we can see the funny side, they may have taken things a too far when the young Luiz started to become upset at what he (thought) he had done! Have a look for yourself below. Is it funny…..or did they go to far?

The Nuggets expect multiple teams, including the Pistons, to show interest in unrestricted free agent Darrell Arthur.
Restricted free agent Will Barton is reportedly at the top of Denver's "to-do list," and the Nuggets can match any offer he receives.
Re-signing Jameer Nelson is reportedly a priority for the Nuggets once free agency begins at midnight on Wednesday.
The Nuggets are finalizing a guaranteed three-year deal to Nikola Jokic.
Ty Lawson said "I just wanna win" when asked about his frustration with the Nuggets.
Emmanuel Mudiay's arrival in Denver could spell trouble for Ty Lawson according to Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post.
Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly confirmed that Nikola Radicevic will remain overseas for now.
Emmanuel Mudiay said he wants to guard the opponent's best offensive player, excluding centers.
General manager Tim Connelly said Ty Lawson's statement about going to Sacramento didn't excite him.
After the Nuggets selected Emmanuel Mudiay with the No. 7 overall selection in the NBA draft, Ty Lawson said in a video "I'm going to Sacramento."
The Nuggets drafted Nikola Radicevic with the 57th pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday.
The Denver Nuggets selected point guard Emmanuel Mudiay with the seventh pick in the NBA Draft.
The Knicks are leaning towards drafting Emmanuel Mudiay if they elect to use the No. 4 overall pick in the NBA draft, according to Chris Broussard of ESPN.
The Kings are reportedly high on Emmanuel Mudiay and Mario Hezonja, and would take one of the two if they keep their No. 6 overall selection in the 2015 NBA draft.
The Nuggets have made Danilo Gallinari available for a trade, according to Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports.

great place and friendly staffPosted on 05 / 21 / 2015
I'm rediscovering this place... Indeed I had been here 2 years and for some reasons my first impression was not really positive. One of the reasons was that the menu is a bit messy with too many choices, and I guess I did not pick up something that I liked... Then a month ago, I happened to come here again, and I was surprised to find the food excellent, with good quantity and at a very cheap price. On top of that the staff is very nice. Now I'm coming back each time I'm around in Wanchai. I like the idea of this set diner with 3 dishes to select among 5 for 58hk$. Love their spring rolls and the vegan egg (everything is vegan here). Also like the pizza with vegan cheese. Entrance is a bit difficult to find, but you'll find it. Just go!
Cons: you'll get lost in the huge choice of dishes

Decline of Bronze Age 'megacities' linked to climate changetags: climate change, Bronze Age
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have demonstrated that an abrupt weakening of the summer monsoon affected northwest India 4,100 years ago. The resulting drought coincided with the beginning of the decline of the metropolis-building Indus Civilisation, which spanned present-day Pakistan and India, suggesting that climate change could be why many of the major cities of the civilisation were abandoned.
The research, reported online on 25 February, 2014, in the journal Geology, involved the collection of snail shells preserved in the sediments of an ancient lake bed. By analysing the oxygen isotopes in the shells, the scientists were able to tell how much rain fell in the lake where the snails lived thousands of years ago.
The results shed light on a mystery surrounding why the major cities of the Indus Civilisation (also known as the Harappan Civilisation, after Harappa, one of the five cities) were abandoned. Climate change had been suggested as a possible reason for this transformation before but, until now, there has been no direct evidence for climate change in the region where Indus settlements were located....
