Abstract: An electrmagnetic intermittent injection valve for supplying fuel to an intake duct of an internal combustion engine comprising a hollow body having a fuel inlet for admission of fuel from a fuel supply, a fuel outlet for supply of fuel to an intake duct of an internal combustion engine, and a fuel return for returning fuel back to the fuel supply. A ball valve is movable in the body between a first position in which the fuel outlet is closed and a second position in which the fuel outlet is open. A spring acts on the ball to urge the ball to the first position. A soft iron core is disposed in the body in facing relation with the ball, the body including a housing end portion of soft iron facing the ball valve. A coil in the body serves for energizing the core and the housing end portion for producing a magnetic field having lines of flux acting on the ball valve to urge the ball valve to the second position against the resilient opposition of the spring.

Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine includes a valve member biased by a spring against the action of fuel under pressure supplied to an inlet. A further spring acts in opposition to the first mentioned spring through a piston like push piece. The fuel pressure also acts upon the push piece in opposition to the force exerted by the further spring and the extent of movement of the push piece under the action of the further spring is limited.

The piping system further includes a plurality of conduit segments wherein one conduit extends between each paint tap. Furthermore, the length and internal diameter of each conduit segment is dimensioned to produce a predetermined of paint flow through each tap when the tap is closed.

Abstract: An automatic on-off fire extinguishing sprinkler head including a housing defining inlet and outlet openings; a valve retained by the housing and disposed between the inlet and outlet openings, the valve being movable between a closed position in which it prevents fluid flow between the inlet and outlet openings and an open position in which it allows fluid flow therebetween and a latch releasably latching the valve in the closed position. A release mechanism responds to a sensor by releasing the latch to allow movement of the valve into the open position at a predetermined ambient temperature. Operatively coupled to the valve is a temperature responsive actuator shaped and arranged to allow movement of the valve into its open position in response to ambient temperatures above a given level and to force the valve into its closed position in response to ambient temperatures below the given level.

Abstract: A fuel injector (10) is provided for each cylinder of an internal combustion engine, the injector including an electronically operated control valve (146) disposed between supply passage 42 and a timing chamber (98) to control the admission of fuel into and out of the timing chamber. A primary pumping plunger (62) and a secondary plunger (90) are axially spaced within the central bore of the injection body, and a normally closed injection nozzle (14) is situated at one end of the injector body. A mechanical linkage (27, 28, 30) associated with the camshaft of the engine drives the primary pumping plunger (62) against the bias of a main spring (18). The timing chamber (98) is defined between the plungers (62, 90) and a metering chamber (128) is defined between the secondary plunger (90) and the nozzle (14).

The inner ribbon is circumferentially spaced from an augmentor liner while the free ends of the extending fingers are attached to an axially spaced part of the augmentor liner.

Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle of the outwardly opening type has a nozzle body defining a bore in which is slidable the stem of a valve member having a head. A spring biases the head into contact with a seating to prevent fuel flow through an outlet opening from a fuel inlet connected to a nozzle inlet. An insert has a skirt portion which engages with the body to define a closed chamber. The valve stem forms part of the wall of the chamber and as the valve member is moved towards the open position the volume of the chamber is increased thereby causing a restraining force to be applied to the valve member additional to the force exerted by the spring.

Abstract: A spraying device consists of a frame having an arm universally-pivoted thereon which has a spray nozzle at the outer end. The frame is designed to be supported on a forklift-type truck having a fork movable thereon. The frame has retaining elements for receiving and supporting the fork and the arm is received through pneumatic cylinders. The arm has first and second parts which are rotated relative to each other by a pneumatic motor.

Abstract: The chute attachment is attached to a chute on cement truck at a receiving end so that cement might flow through the receiving end to an outlet end having a reduced size compared to the receiving end and into the desired place. A closure assembly is provided to close the chute attachment to thereby cut off the flow of cement, and minimize or avoid any spillage. The chute attachment has a frame which includes a circular assembly having large, middle and small circular members. The members are secured together at a common tangential point and a cover is secured to the frame.

Abstract: In high-pressure cleaning units with heating stages, i.e. with a possibility for circulating a partial flow of the forwardly pumped water through a constricted, heat-generating nozzle (74) in a return conduit to the pump's inlet side, the problem occurs that the entire water flow circulates at high pump pressure upon temporary interruption of ejection, which causes an inexpediently high heating of the water. By the invention, apparatus is provided for sensing this situation and thus block the return conduit (70,72), so that the pressure tends to rise; in this way, however, the cleaning unit's ordinary bypass valve (12) will sense that delivery from the pump (P) is totally blocked, whereby it connects the pump in bypass state in the ordinary way through a non-constricted bypass connection (14). In this way, ejection can be interrupted temporarily without any substantial heat accumulation in the circulating water, and another advantage is that the ejection conduit itself is pressure relieved in the situation.

A motor is reciprocably mounted in the container and includes a stator, a plate assembly mounted on the stator and a rotor rotatably received in the stator. The rotor includes a turret with a nozzle orifice. Hydraulic pressures on the rotor are balanced whereby anti-rotational drag is substantially reduced. A speed regulator is provided for maintaining a relatively constant rotational speed when the sprinkler is subjected to variances in hydraulic pressure.

Abstract: A sprayer comprising a housing (10) having an internal aperture in which a spool (12) is mounted for translational movement is disclosed. The spool has a nozzle (32) mounted to it. A cavity (30), formed in the spool, is configured to provide a passageway for directing fluid from an inlet (20) in the housing to the nozzle when the sprayer is in a spraying position. The cavity also provides a fluid passageway from the fluid inlet to a fluid outlet (21), which is also formed in the housing. The latter fluid passageway permits a reverse fluid flow through the nozzle. The direction of the reverse fluid flow is opposite to spraying flow direction. Thus, the reverse fluid flow cleans the nozzle by removing matter that clogs the nozzle. A pneumatically actuated, double-acting piston and cylinder assembly is used to move the spool between the spraying position and the cleaning position.

Abstract: Admixing of an atomized liquid to a gas flow (7 FIG. 1) may be performed without risk of recirculation and clogging caused thereby if the supply of atomized liquid according to the present invention is effected in separate part flows introduced into said gas flow (7) in such directions that each part flow has a component in the same direction as the direction of the gas flow (7). Each part flow is supplied at such location that it is wholly surrounded by a part of the gas flow (7). The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the above method, which device comprises a number of atomizing tubes for supply of the separate part flows of liquid and atomizing gas. The tubes have such axial and radial direction relative to the gas flow that the atomized liquid is directed into the gas flow to treat the gas flow in an area radially outside the tubes.
