Abstract:
A high pressure nozzle manipulator includes a wheeled chassis, a pair of parallel manipulator elevator rails supported by an elevator rail rotator fastened to the chassis, a horizontal extensible arm rail disposed between and carried by the manipulator elevator rails, a rotary actuator fastened to a distal end of the horizontal extensible arm rail, and a linear actuator fastened between the first rotary actuator and a hinged nozzle support bracket. This bracket holds a high pressure cleaning nozzle. The linear actuator is configured to rotate the nozzle and the bracket through an arc. The elevator rail rotator is configured to rotate the elevator rails through an arc of about 180 degrees about a horizontal axis. The rotary wrist actuator is configured to rotate the hinged nozzle support bracket about a horizontal axis through the extensible arm rail.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device and a method for the metallic coating of a work piece with a mobile coating lance (20), by means of which a metal plasma jet can be generated to create the coating consisting of metal particles. According to the invention, an extraction hood (30) is provided, which at least encloses an axial section of the coating lance (20) in a ring-shaped manner, and the extraction hood (30) has a ring-shaped holding unit (50), which is configured to take up the metal particles.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a spraying nozzle arrangement for windscreens of vehicles. The spraying nozzle arrangement comprises a spraying nozzle, a spraying nozzle attachment and an adjustment screw. The spraying nozzle is provided with at least one hose connection and at least one spraying nozzle aperture for directed spraying of washer fluid. The spraying nozzle and the spraying nozzle attachment are movably connected to each other and provided with an adjustment means so that the focus of the directed spraying from the spraying nozzle aperture can be adjusted in relation to the spraying nozzle attachment. The adjustment means includes that the spraying nozzle is provided with threads or teeth which engage with screw threads of the adjustment screw.
Abstract:
The embodiments herein provide a handheld shower head sprayer with a flexible hose arrangement that automatically expands or contracts according to user convenience. The handheld shower head sprayer comprises shower arm, handheld shower sprayer, and flexible shower hose. The shower hose comprises an elastic inner tube concentrically positioned inside a non-elastic outer tube. When shower water valve is opened, water passes through the shower hose and expands the shower hose up. The radial expansion of the inner tube is constrained by maximum diameter of the outer tube. When the shower water valve is closed, the water pressure inside the shower hose is released and the shower hose automatically contracts to the unexpanded length of the hose.
Abstract:

The system also includes a support structure supported by the lift structure, and a table supported by the support structure. The table is translatable relative to the support structure. The system also includes a mount structure rotatably coupled with the table and a kit of parts that includes a spray head assembly configured for releasable attachment to the mount structure. The system further includes a paint reservoir and a pump, each being supported by one of the vehicle and the support structure.
Abstract:
A fluid delivery system includes a pump configured to pump the fluid from a source. The fluid is pumped through a flexible tube extending from the pump and configured to transport the fluid. The fluid delivery system includes at least one ejection site located at a position along the length of the tube, wherein the ejection site is configured to support the fluid delivery system using energy from the fluid pumped through the tube and/or energy from a propulsion fluid.
Abstract:
An improvement to a roadside sprayer fixates spray nozzles on a registration plate. The registration plate may include integral tabs depending on the application. Inclination of the tabs is adjustable to place streams and droplets in a desired swath coverage. With the nozzles rigidly mounted onto the plate, the entire plate is nutated. The use of the registration plate in a spray unit creates a uniform nutation among the nozzles, thereby reducing variability in droplet placement, and providing a more predictable spray from the nozzles. In other embodiments, the spray unit is utilized in a spray system adaptable to service vehicles, and may be utilized in conjunction with a vegetation engagement device, such as a cutter to engage multiple zones of a roadway right-of-way. Additionally, an improved spray unit includes an electromagnetic field and an attractor to generate plate motion.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a housing, a gantry system supported by the housing, a movement mechanism coupled to the gantry system, and a dispensing unit coupled to the movement mechanism and configured to deposit material. The dispensing unit assumes an increasing angle of tilt by manipulating the movement mechanism. Embodiments of the movement mechanism are further disclosed.
Abstract:
Provided is a fluid dispensing system with a dispense nozzle with a threaded outer surface and a fluid dispensing apparatus with a movable dispenser arm with an opening that includes threaded inner walls that receive the dispense nozzle therein. Also provided is a method for aligning a dispense head in a coating tool. Horizontal alignment is achieved by rotating the dispense nozzle until its tip is in contact with the chuck then laterally adjusting the dispenser arm position so that the tip is positioned over a center of the chuck. Vertical alignment is achieved by rotating the dispense nozzle until an indicia of the dispense nozzle is at the same vertical location as a designated physical feature of the dispenser arm.
