Abstract:
A tent structure, water transfer system and sprinkler mechanism are provided. The water transfer system utilizes components of the tent structure to transfer water from a garden hose to the sprinkler mechanism positioned at the top of the tent structure to spray water above the tent structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method and device for fluid handling relating to controlling and directing the water streams from spray devices utilizing multiple liquid streams to produce an effluent that enhances a user's perception of spray performance. In the disclosed embodiments, a cavity acts as a mixing chamber for multiple fluid jets that enter the cavity at various locations, angles and flow rates. By positioning these inlet ports in the upper portion of the cavity, and with the ability to precisely direct and meter the fluid flow, the spray device may achieve a multitude of flow patterns from an outlet.

Abstract:
An ejection nozzle for high-pressure cleaning units and having a narrow nozzle opening for high-pressure ejection and having one or more ducts openable through such a large area that low-pressure discharge of a spraying liquid can occur through an end wall of a slidable cylinder jacket portion and having a comparatively wide low-pressure nozzle opening, essentially coaxial with the high-pressure nozzle opening.
Abstract:
A process for providing a substrate such as a polyethylene terephthalate container with a gas barrier coating of a copolymer of vinylidene chloride is disclosed. The process includes locating the container to be coated in close proximity to one or more airless spray nozzles and impacting the outside surface of the container with a stream of a stabilized aqueous polymer dispersion such as an aqueous polyvinylidene chloride dispersion. The impacting force of the stable polyvinylidene chloride dispersion on the surface of the container is sufficient to cause selective destabilization of the dispersion at the surface interface to form a gel layer containing the polymer in the continuous phase. This gel layer serves as an adhesive layer for an overlying layer of the aqueous polymer dispersion as a continuous uniform coating. The resulting wet coating does not sag or run off. The coating on the container is then dried in a controlled atmosphere to complete the gel formation throughout its thickness whereupon it is further dried to remove the water from the coating and to collapse the gel to form a film without distoring the container. The dried coating is smooth, uniform and uniformly transparent. In operation, the overspray can be collected and returned to achieve greater than 95% material efficiency. The process can be carried out in a continuous manner to provide a continuously moving series of containers with a uniformly transparent, gas barrier polyvinylidene chloride coating at production rates suitable for commercial applications.
Abstract:
A manually manipulatable spray mechanism for connection to a supply apparatus having a source of molten asphalt under pressure for applying a sprayed coating of molten asphalt on selected areas of a paved surface. The spray mechanism is configured so that its asphalt spray pattern may be adjusted to suit the job being accomplished, and, to provide for recirculatingly returning the molten asphalt to the supply apparatus when the spray mechanism is in the inoperative or stand by state.
