Abstract: A system and method for propelling a hose, including: a system housing and a tractor element disposed in the housing. The tractor element includes: a tractor housing with a through-bore; and a protrusion extending into the through-bore. The system includes: a hose assembly including a substantially helical coil disposed about a hose; and an actuator for rotating the tractor housing with respect to the system housing. The tractor element is fixed in the system housing with respect to axial movement; and the hose assembly can be disposed in the through-bore so that the protrusion contacts a portion of the coil. As the tractor housing is rotated in a rotational direction: the protrusion exerts a displacement force on the coil; and the hose assembly reacts to the displacement force by displacing in an axial direction.

Abstract: A system for storing, rotating and feeding a high pressure hose. A first portion of the hose is disposable about the drum and a guide arm engages a second portion of the hose. An actuator assembly rotates a cage and the guide arm so that the guide arm rotates relative to the cage such that the hose is rotated. Relative rotation in one direction causes the first portion of the hose to uncoil from the drum and displace along the guide arm and causes a third portion of the high pressure hose in an output port to displace out of the output port away from the guide arm. Relative rotation in an opposite direction causes the second portion of the high pressure hose to coil about the drum and causes the third portion of the high pressure hose to displace into the housing.

Abstract: A high pressure rotary nozzle having a rotating shaft operating within a fixed housing wherein the of axial force which acts upon the shaft due to the fluid pressure at the shaft inlet is balanced by allowing passage of a small amount of the pressurized fluid to be bled to an area or chamber between the outside of the opposite end of the shaft and the inside of the housing where the fluid pressure can act axially in an opposing direction upon the shaft to balance the axial inlet force. The balance of axial forces is self-regulating by controlling escape of the fluid through a tapered or frusto-conical region between the shaft and housing. This further provides a fluid bearing between the two surfaces and allows use of interchangeable rotating jet heads having jet orifices which can be oriented in virtually any desirable configuration including axially forward of the nozzle.

Abstract: A multiple nozzle swivel assembly for mounting on a cable support stretched across the interior of a chamber to be scrubbed with high velocity jet streams or stretched along an array of objects to be cleaned as the swivel assembly traverses the cable from one end to the other. The cable passes through a coaxial bore in an elongated shaft carrying both a relatively stationary an input member for supply of high pressure liquid to the assembly and a rotatable output nozzle-carrying spray head member. The shaft is monolithic with multiple angularly spaced bores around the central bore and parallel thereto and sealed from the central bore carry high pressure liquid from the input member to the output spray head member with very low drag bearings and liquid seals being provided between relatively rotating liquid carrying components. The assembly includes multi-directioned nozzle elements on a rotatable spray head. Positive drive to rotate the spray head is achieved with a rotational speed controlling motor. With the aid of low drag forces at bearings and rotating liquid seals, the spray head may be self rotated by reaction forces of jet streams from the head. The assembly may be pulled along the cable by an auxiliary device or it may be self-propelled along the cable by reaction of jet streams. For pulling the assembly along the cable a swivelled pulling bail is attached to the shaft.
