Abstract:
An underbody car wash sprayer for home-use, which can be hooked up solely to a garden hose or in combination with a pressure washer. The device utilizes a three nozzled “I” design, supported by four swiveling casters. In addition, it is connected to an ergonomically effective wand system to allow easy maneuverability under the vehicle. Finally, in some embodiments a trigger spray gun acts as a handle and pressure regulator. The compactness of the specific design allows for significant material reduction and hence a reduction in production costs, providing the consumer with a more economical choice. Additionally, the concentrated pressure and spray pattern of the “I” design along with its precision maneuverability allows the consumer to easily access and forcefully remove sediment adhesions to the vehicle underbody while controlling water flow at all times with a trigger spray gun.
Abstract:
A fog generating system (20) includes a fluid feed conduit (22) and extension tube assemblies (26) spaced along the conduit (22). The assemblies (26) include nozzle fittings (40) coupled to extension tubes (32). Misting nozzles (44) are releasably engaged with the nozzle fittings (40), and are recessed within the nozzle fittings (40). Installation entails arranging the system (20) on an interior side of an installation form (90), and securing the nozzle fittings (40) using fitting plugs (50) so that an open ends (60) of the nozzle fittings (40) abut the form (90). The fitting plugs (50) further form a fluid resistant seal for maintaining the assemblies (26) under fluid pressure during installation. The system (20) is embedded in a concrete material (124) for the structure (120). Following removal of the installation form (90) and the fitting plugs (50), the misting nozzles (44) are installed within the nozzle fittings (40).

Abstract:
A fluid spray apparatus with a controlled supply of pressurized fluid delivered through a network of tubes to a spray head having a plurality of stop flow valves and nozzles that will automatically shut off the flow of fluid out of the nozzles when the pressure of the fluid drops below a threshold level. The spray head preferably has a central chamber that is open to the stop flow valves and dampens any fluctuations in pressure and volume of fluid from the source of pressurized fluid. The nozzle is preferably mounted to the stop flow valve. The stop flow valve has a biased valve head that engages a seat until the pressure exerted on the valve head by the fluid exceeds a threshold level and the valve opens. One embodiment has a quick connect coupling with a base, seal and collar that will allow spray heads of various numbers of nozzles to be quickly exchanged. Another embodiment is adapted to couple with a conventional paint spray compressor and gun.
Abstract:
The invention is a system for evaporatively cooling the intake air for an air conditioning housing unit. The system includes a plurality of conduits connected to a fluid source, and nozzles configured to expel vapor into a perimeter of the housing unit.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for a constructing misting manifold is disclosed that uses a standardized intermediate member joined to tubing. The method allows mass production, particularly with use of orbital welding, easy alignment of the component part and high quality welds.
Abstract:
A dampening water spraying device includes: a nozzle for spraying dampening water; a nozzle holder including, an end surface connectable to the nozzle, and an outer peripheral portion provided with at least one groove; and a nozzle fixing member including, an opening portion adapted to expose at least a spout of the nozzle, and an inner peripheral portion provided with a nozzle attachment/detachment moving portion opposed to and engageable with the groove, the nozzle fixing member being adapted to be fastened to the nozzle holder while clamping the nozzle between the nozzle fixing member and the nozzle holder; wherein the nozzle fixing member includes an outer peripheral portion provided with a handhold portion for making it possible to to manually rotate the nozzle fixing member, thereby allowing to rapidly and readily conduct replacement of the nozzle.
Abstract:
A liquid spraying system for maintaining a predetermined amount of moisture in an environment, particularly suited for use on produce displayed in a produce display. The system operates in a manner that purposely introduces air into liquid flowing through the system to ultimately spray a fine mist into an environment. The use of a venturi injector in a preferred embodiment allows for the introduction of air into the system while eliminating the need for an added air compressor. The uniform mixture of air and water then flows through a liquid pump, and alternatively an expansion tank, and can be delivered to one or more nozzle assemblies at a predetermined pressure. The air liquid mixture exits nozzles in mist form that has small liquid droplets forming a fine mist which is propelled outward from the nozzle. In alternate embodiments, liquid flowing through the system that does not initially exit through the nozzles can be recirculated through the system by a return line that allows the non-sprayed mist liquid to flow back through the system and be recycled.
Abstract:
A produce mister for misting produce in a display case. The produce mister has a bar extending the width of the display case and has nozzles for dispensing water at selected intervals. The bar has a small diameter conduit that minimizes the water within the conduit and assures that all of the water within the conduit is dispensed through the nozzles during a mist cycle. Multiple branch water lines are interconnected to the bar to ensure a uniform flow of water to all of the nozzles. The bar is arranged to be coupled to another bar by a sealing coupling and a locating pin to provide a bar of extended length.
