1. An apparatus for lowering a water temperature of a sea surface, wherein a pipe for feeding a water is installed in a sea, a suction port of the pipe is disposed in a cold water zone whose temperature is lower than the water temperature of the sea surface, an injection port of the pipe is disposed in a required position below the sea surface, and a pump is connected to the pipe in order to suck a cold water from the suction port and inject it from the injection port to thereby supply it to an aim region below the sea surface, thereby mixing it with a warm water of higher temperature.
2. An apparatus for lowering a water temperature of a sea surface according to claim 1, wherein there is possessed an underwater platform having an underwater and float function, and the underwater platform having plural pipes longitudinally upwardly installed is prepared by a necessary number of platforms and the prepared platforms are disposed in the aim region in the sea.
3. An apparatus for lowering a water temperature of a sea surface according to claim 2, wherein the pipe for feeding the water is capable of rotating in a direction inclining such that, on the occasion of a movement of the underwater platform, an angle intersecting with a movement direction becomes small.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A housing for a dispensing tube of a metering dispenser, comprising:
a mounting half for mounting the housing to a metering dispenser;
a strike half for receiving plunger strikes;
the strike half carried by the mounting half;
the mounting half having a mounting half tube channel defined therein for receiving a dispensing tube;
the mounting half having a plunger aperture defined through the mounting half tube channel for receiving a plunger;
the strike half having a plunger strike surface;
the strike half being pivotally carried by the mounting half so as to be pivotable, relative to the mounting half, between:
a first pivotal position in which the strike half at least partially covers the mounting half tube channel; and
a second pivotal position in which the strike half exposes the mounting half tube channel; and
the strike half further being slidably carried by the mounting half so as to be slidable relative to the mounting half, at least when the strike half is in the first pivotal position, between:
a first slide position in which pivotal movement of the strike half relative to the mounting half from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position is obstructed; and
a second slide position in which pivotal movement of the strike half relative to the mounting half from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position is permitted;
wherein, at least when the strike half is in the first pivotal position and in the first slide position, the plunger strike surface is in registration with and facing the plunger aperture to receive a plunger head.
2. The housing of claim 1, wherein:
the strike half is hingedly carried by the mounting half by way of a pivot extending between the mounting half and the strike half and on which the strike half is rotatably received so as to be rotatable about the pivot between the first pivotal position and the second pivotal position;
the strike half further being slidable along the pivot, at least when the strike half is in the first pivotal position, between the first slide position and the second slide position.
3. The housing of claim 2, wherein:
one of the mounting half and the strike half has at least one locking finger;
the other one of the mounting half and the strike half has at least one latch arm extending therefrom;
each latch arm forming a receiving slot for receiving a respective locking finger;
wherein:
when the strike half is in the first pivotal position and the first slide position, each locking finger is in registration with its respective latch arm, inside the receiving slot formed by the respective latch arm, so that each latch arm engages its respective locking finger to obstruct movement of the strike half from the first pivotal position to the second pivotal position; and
when the strike half is in the first pivotal position and the second slide position, each locking finger is out of registration with its respective latch arm and outside of the receiving slot formed by the respective latch arm whereby movement of the strike half from the first pivotal position toward the second pivotal position is permitted.
4. The housing of claim 2, wherein:
the at least one locking finger comprises a plurality of locking fingers spaced longitudinally apart from one another to define a locking finger gap between each adjacent pair of locking fingers;
the at least one latch arm comprises a plurality of latch arms spaced longitudinally apart from one another to define a latch arm gap between each adjacent pair of latch arms;
wherein, when the strike half moves between the first pivotal position and the second pivotal position while in the second slide position:
at least one latch arm fits in a corresponding locking finger gap; and
at least one locking finger fits in a corresponding locking arm gap.
5. The housing of claim 4, wherein each of at least one of the plurality of locking fingers and the plurality of latch arms has a tapered guide surface for guiding the strike half into the second slide position as the strike half moves into the first pivotal position.
6. The housing of claim 3, wherein each of at least one of the at least one locking finger and the at least one latch arm has a tapered guide surface for guiding the strike half into the second slide position as the strike half moves into the first pivotal position.
7. The housing of claim 1, wherein
the strike half has a strike half tube channel defined therein;
the strike half tube channel cooperating with the mounting half tube channel, when the strike half is in the first pivotal position, to form a dispensing tube channel.
