Abstract:
A two-component dispensing gun has two longitudinally-extending dispensing passages receiving metering rods and in fluid communication with two feed passages adjacent to an especially configured metering rod tip and valve seats formed at the exit end of each dispensing passage. Valve seats of the dispensing passage extend as protrusions from the gun nose and are sealingly received within cup shaped recesses formed in a detachable, throwaway nozzle having a static mixing chamber. The nozzle has a truncated cone configuration which, in combination with the geometric configuration of the dispensing and feed passages alleviates turbulent flow of the liquid components until reaching the static mixer within the nozzle. A cammed surface on each metering rod in combination with a yoke crossbar formed as part of the gun's trigger provides increased motion of the trigger for fine or slow metering applications of the gun.
Abstract:
A spraying head for feeding pressurized air and an atomized liquid substance, for example a releasing agent, for cleaning and treatment of molds in hot molding of ferrous and non-ferrous materials; the spraying head comprises a main body having at least a mixing chamber in which a first conduit for the injection of pressurized air opens on a side opposite to a spraying nozzle; a second conduit for feeding a liquid, opens into the mixing chamber through a Venturi which tapers towards the same mixing chamber, at right angle to the air injection conduit. A normally closed control valve is slidably supported inside a flow regulator having a tapering end portion protruding into the Venturi, to regulate the delivery of the liquid substance into the mixing chamber; the spraying head may be provided with a single or independent spraying nozzles and mixing chambers on opposite sides of the main body.
Abstract:
The spray gun has an air cap that generates a spray mixture of liquid and air. The air cap includes a fluid valve for controlling the delivery of liquid and a separate air valve in the body of the spray gun is provided for controlling delivery of air. A control mechanism assembly for both of the valves is located axially within a central bore extending substantially the length of the spray gun. The control mechanism is actuated by means of a cam and follower arrangement with the cam surface provided on the rear of a manually operable trigger. The fluid valve is fully adjustable separately from the air valve but the control mechanism assembly includes a common control member that is in engagement with the control mechanism and operates both the fluid and air valves. The arrangement of the air valve enables the surface area of the air passages leading from an ionizing source to the air cap to be minimized and unnecessary restrictions to be omitted so that ion recombination losses within the spray gun are significantly reduced.
Abstract:
A nozzle device including a nozzle body, a central jet channel which has a first fluid admitted to it, an opening region which widens conically in the jet direction and from which the central jet channel extends, and another channel which opens out into the central jet channel and with which a second fluid can be fed to the first fluid.
Abstract:
A first air assist fuel injector configured for operation with a two stroke engine and a second air assist fuel injector configured for operation with a four stroke engine. The first air assist fuel injector and the second air assist fuel injector share one or more common items, such as a solenoid coil assembly and/or an armature, even though the air assist fuel injectors are configured for different applications.
Abstract:
A sealing arrangement for an air assist fuel injector having an interface cap. The sealing arrangement includes a sleeve sealingly attached to a leg of the air assist fuel injector and that receives at least a portion of the interface cap. A seal member abuts the sleeve to seal a solenoid from liquid fuel and gas and to seal an interface between the air assist fuel injector and a rail when the air assist fuel injector is received by the rail.
Abstract:
A compact spray valve that provides an extended atomizing air cap for reaching between tightly spaced electronic components. The compact spray valve of the present invention includes an air body, a fluid control body and an extended atomizing air cap. The atomizing air cap along with a seat extension provides a plurality of laminar air flow conduits causing atomization of a fluid into a spray. The resulting spray pattern can be controlled to provide a narrow line spray pattern with clearly defined edges. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a flat spray pattern.
