    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) comprises a central body, a plurality of arms that extend out from the central body, and a plurality of rotors. Each arm has one or more joints that segment the arm into a stem portion proximal to the central body and one or more branch portions distal to the central body. The one or more joints permit the one or more branch portions to move horizontally relative to the stem portion between an extended state and a compacted state. The one or more branch portions are arranged substantially parallel to a perimeter edge of the central body in the compacted state. Each rotor in the plurality is attached to the one or more branch portions.

    Abstract: A spray-head assembly includes a pipe structure and a valve-spool. The pipe structure includes a liquid inlet, a flow pathway, and a valve-port. The flow pathway includes an air-flow pathway arranged obliquely with respect to a central axis of the liquid inlet. A bottom end of the air-flow pathway communicates with the liquid inlet. The valve-port is arranged at a top end of the air-flow pathway. The valve-spool is arranged in the flow pathway and configured to control opening and closing of the valve-port.
