Abstract:
A configurable nozzle system includes, for example, a first nozzle with a first nozzle and a second nozzle. Optionally, a nozzle housing retains both the first nozzle and the second nozzle. The nozzle housing includes, for example plumbing that interconnects the nozzle passages. In an example, a bridging valve coupled along the nozzle manifold selectively interconnects the nozzle passages, regulating agricultural fluid flow between them. Optionally, one of the first nozzle or second nozzle includes a configurable nozzle assembly and the other of the first nozzle or second nozzle includes a standard tip nozzle. The standard tip nozzle, for example, is in communication with a responsive flow control system.
Abstract:
A dispenser and a method of delivering an ingredient from a dispenser are disclosed. The dispenser includes a dispenser container and a valve assembly comprising a valve connected to the dispenser container. The dispenser container is partly filled with activated carbon or another adsorbent and a dispensing carrier gas. An ingredient is contained in an ingredient containing reservoir. The valve assembly includes a component comprising a tube, an upper end of which is in operative communication with an actuator spray nozzle, and a lower end of which divides into first and second fitments which receive respectively first and second tubes. The first tube is connected to the ingredient containing reservoir. The second tube includes a frit or filter to prevent the activated carbon passing into the second tube when the pressurized dispensing carrier gas is released.
Abstract:
A handheld car washing implement that includes a handle defining a channel for receiving a flow of water, the handle including a nozzle in communication with the channel, wherein the handle further includes a plurality of teeth, extending radially outward from the nozzle; a sprayer, defining a second channel having a first and a second end, wherein the second end terminates in a second nozzle and the first end is dimensioned to receive at least a portion of the nozzle of the handle such that the flow of water is directed into the second channel, wherein the sprayer further includes a plurality of tabs, spaced to engage at least one of the tabs and a canister in communication with the second channel via a port, and configured to store and deliver a detergent to the second channel when water is flowing through the second channel.
Abstract:
A dual-use, low-pressure spray gun for applying one-component foam as a spray and a bead including a low-pressure canister connector and a low-pressure air hose connector. A system for applying one-component spray foam as a spray and a bead including a dual-use spray gun with a low-pressure canister connector and a low-pressure air hose connector, a compressed air supply and a compressed air hose.
Abstract:
A method for operating a fluid additive control system to inject a fluid additive into a fluid dispensation system is provided. The method includes receiving a first control signal indicating that a fluid dispensation device within the fluid dispensation system is active, and determining a fluid additive quantity based upon the identity of the fluid dispensation device. The method also includes activating a fluid additive injection system, where the fluid additive dispensation system injects the fluid additive into the fluid dispensation system in response to the activation. The method further includes receiving a second control signal from the fluid additive injection system when the fluid additive quantity for the zone has been injected into the fluid dispensation system, and deactivating the fluid additive dispensation system in response to the second control
Abstract:
A multi port nozzle may be provided. The multi port nozzle may include a main inlet. In addition, the multi port nozzle may include a first chamber branching off from the main inlet. The first chamber may have a first port. Moreover, the multi port nozzle may include a second chamber branching off from the main inlet. The second chamber may be separated from the first chamber by a partition and may have a second port. The first chamber may include a first plurality of mixing elements and the second chamber may include a second plurality of mixing elements.
Abstract:
A particle sprayer includes a source of discrete particles, a spray outlet coupled to the particle source, and a conduit extending from a pressurized fluid inlet to the spray outlet and configured to constrain a flow of carrier fluid to flow along the conduit toward the spray outlet to propel particles from the particle source away from the spray outlet. The particles including discrete fastening bits having one or more projections, with each projection having an overhanging head for snagging fibers. The particle sprayer may be used to spray fastening bits onto a surface, to turn the surface into a touch fastener.
