Abstract:
A spray-type device effects cleaning and sweeping as for walks, driveways, patios, lawns and the like by attachment to a pressurized source such as a garden hose. A T-shaped configuration is employed with an elongated hollow tubular handle for attachment to the source at one end and with a series of members attached in perpendicular relation to the other end of the handle. One of the lower members has a hollow interior in communication with the handle interior and having a series of nozzles attached thereto along one side so as to form a narrow fan-like sheet of spray directed downwardly and forwardly of the nozzle mounting members. The lower members are rigidly interconnected in a solid structural frame with roller wheels or casters attached at opposite ends. The nozzles can include a horizontal slot arrangement which is aligned for producing an overlapping sheet of sprays and the wheel mounts are preferably in an offset relation to the spray line to facilitate control of the angle of impact for the spray on the surface to be cleaned. Supplementary materials can be added to the flow through attachment of an injector-type apparatus at the input handle.
Abstract:
A detachable mounting and support arrangement for the stationary spray tube which extends through a rotary drum. A tension cable extends through the spray tube and is anchored exteriorly of the drum and spray tube at each end of the drum.
Abstract:
An elongated spray bar adapted to be suspended from a cable or the like along the side of a building and including a plurality of nozzles for spraying cleaning solution, a plurality of guide wheels for guiding vertical movement of the spray bar and stabilizing poles projecting from each end thereof.
Abstract:
A sprinkler system includes an upright support such as a fence and a flexible hose carrying multiple nozzles along its end-toend length. The hose is removably held by the fence in an elevated position and is concealed from view against one side of the fence.
Abstract:
A sensor-cleaning apparatus includes an upper piece, a lower piece fixed to the upper piece, a plurality of inserts inserted into the upper piece, and a plurality of nozzles. The upper piece and the lower piece form a tubular segment that is elongated along an arc of a circle and encloses a chamber. Each nozzle is formed of the upper piece and one of the inserts. Each nozzle includes a deflection surface and a tunnel from the chamber to the deflection surface, and each tunnel is partially formed of the upper piece and partially formed of the respective insert.
Abstract:
A discrete flat dripper of the non-pressure regulated type of drippers or of the pressure compensated-flow rate regulated type of drippers, suited for being integrally installed within a hose, that comprises a body component whose configuration is essentially rectangular, wherein on its one side that is suited to being affixed to an internal wall of the hose, formed with an exit pool that it is elongated in its dimensions and substantially extends along the entire length of the body component, and with a flow passage circumferentially surrounding a substantial part of the elongated exit pool, and an integral dripper line wherein there are integrated at least one of such discrete flat dripper.
Abstract:
An apparatus for dispersing particles in a fluid, comprising: a flow divider for receiving the fluid and for separating the fluid into a first fluid stream and a second fluid stream; first and second fluid branches for receiving the fluid streams; a branch joining section for receiving the fluid streams, the branch joining section having a collision zone for allowing the first and second fluid streams to collide; a first nozzle that is arranged in the first fluid branch; and a second nozzle is arranged in the second fluid branch, the first nozzle comprising an orifice that is followed by a fluid diverging section.
