Abstract:
A shower apparatus comprises a head, a base end portion, and a multi-spherical bendable joint pipe disposed between the head and the base end portion, the pipe comprising a plurality of spherical joints provided consecutively. Each joint has a male or female spherical surface for rotationally fitting with adjacent joints each other. The spraying direction of shower water is freely changeable by adjusting the direction of the head through a flection of the multi-spherical bendable joint pipe. The shower apparatus allows a jet direction of shower water to be changed widely three-dimensionally compared with a conventional shower apparatus, and thus the present invention provides a user-friendly shower apparatus.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a sprinkler head leveling for ensuring that the longitudinal axis of a sprinkler head assembly is substantially vertically aligned. The sprinkler head leveler uses a hollow cylindrical base which slides over the sprinkler head bonnet and external casing after the sprinkler head is inserted in the ground. A bull's-eye level is mounted to the base and disposed above a top surface of the base to provide clearance from the attachment hardware and embossments on the top of the sprinkler head assembly. In this way, the leveling device can be used to vertically align the sprinkler head assembly without interference from the surface of the bonnet and the surrounding ground.
Abstract:
An adjustable gluing apparatus for dispensing glue onto articles, such as flaps of cartons on a packaging machine. A glue dispensing head attached to a clamping block is moved along a bar by a rack and pinion gear arrangement. The bar has rack teeth, and the pinion gear and attached pinion shaft are supported by the clamping block, which has an aperture receiving the bar. Turning an adjustment knob connected to the pinion shaft adjusts the position of the clamping block relative to the bar. Rotation of the pinion shaft is selectively allowed or prevented by a locking knob threadably engaged with the pinion shaft. The clamping block is further secured to the bar by a screw in the clamping block which contacts the back side of the bar to provide teeth-engagement adjustment for the rack and pinion gear teeth. The screw has an adjusting knob and a locking knob similar to that on the pinion shaft.
Abstract:
A nozzle spray containment apparatus contains a fluid being sprayed onto a work surface. A containment portion contains the spray being applied to the work surface. The spray is applied through an opening formed in the containment portion. An adapter is mounted in a portion of the opening to modify the opening, the adapter being provided for adapting engagement of the containment portion to variations in the work surface and for varying the opening to accommodate the variations in the work surface. A vacuum portion is in fluid communication with the containment portion whereby a negative pressure may be created in the containment portion. Various devices may be used to position a nozzle within the containment portion which applies the spray as desired.
Abstract:
A powder dusting apparatus for dusting printed products with fine powder has a plurality of nozzle bodies (42) arranged in parallel one beside the other, which emit the powder mist. The spacing of the nozzle bodies (42) can be adjusted by a thread drive (26, 66) and a lazy tongs arrangement (52).
Abstract:
A gutter cleaning device (10) including an adjustable handle unit (11) equipped with a shut off valve (70) operatively connected to a garden hose (100) and provided with an elongated nozzle member (50) having a shaft portion (51) and a spray head portion (52) with an elongated aperture (53) wherein the shaft portion (51) serves as an axle for an outer wheel member (40) and an inner hub member (41); wherein the hub member (41) serves as a rolling support for the device (10) and the wheel member (40) serves as a guide as the device (10) is moved along the gutter (101); and, wherein the shaft portion (51) is further provided with a nozzle adjustment disk (54) bearing indicia (55) representative of the orientation of the spray slot (53) in the spray head portion (52).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sanitary chemical spray apparatus mounted to a front bumper of a dump truck, which comprises an extensible jack member and a spray gun including a guide roller and a plurality of nozzles disposed at one end thereof for inserting into a trash container through a door or disposed at the front upper portion of a side wall thereof. The nozzles of the apparatus can be used to spray chemicals within the trash container after removing the solid waste materials therefrom during a sanitary cleaning operation.
Abstract:
A high pressure water/abrasive jet cutting nozzle has a pair of centering rings that act through body-mounted balls to position a nozzle element-holding collet. The interior surfaces of the centering rings are eccentric with respect to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle assembly so that rotation of a centering ring will cause the nozzle element collet to shift transversely. By rotating one or the other, or both, centering rings the axis of the nozzle element can be adjusted relative to the nozzle jet-forming element so as to align the nozzle element with the water jet.
Abstract:
A support arm device for use in supporting a spray head in spraying liquids. The device comprises an elongated support portion having a longitudinal axis, and an elongated mounting portion attached at a point between its ends to one end of the support portion. The mounting portion has a longitudinal axis transverse to the axis of the support portion and at least one end of the mounting portion includes fastner. The device further includes an elongated leg portion attached to the other end of the support portion and having a longitudinal axis transverse to the axis of the support portion. A releasable clamp is about the leg portion, the clamp for securing a spray head into the device.
Abstract:
A device for laying down a plastic bead on an essentially plane surface of a part consists of a table supporting a movable frame having a drive track. The drive track cooperates with a pinion rotatable about an axis fixed to table so as to drive the frame. The part is mounted on the frame. A slotted rod is fixed to the frame and cooperates with a roller mounted on the table for preventing the frame from rotating about itself. A gun for depositing the bead is positioned above the axis of the drive pinion. As the drive pinion rotates the frame, the gun will deposit a bead on the part mounted on the frame along a line corresponding to the contour of the drive track.
