  • Patent number: 4875627
    Abstract: A solid-cone spray nozzle in which the flow-directing vanes are disposed in opposed pairs spaced axially in the nozzle chamber and rotatively displaced a quarter-turn from each other to provide clearance at each vane set, and between them, for the passage of a solid object capable of passing outwardly through the nozzle orifice.

  • Patent number: 4848666
    Abstract: The invention relates to a nozzle head, especially for use in a de-icing device for aircraft, to emit a liquid in the form of a spray. The nozzle head comprises a supply chamber for the liquid, a nozzle ring member, and a central member which is provided in the latter and is movable by the aid of a set means for adjustment of the spray in the nozzle axis, and which in one end position will close the connection between the nozzle annulus formed by the nozzle ring member, and the central member and the supply chamber. The nozzle head is characterized by the fact that the central member constitutes the nozzle ring member of a concentric inner nozzle with a central pin which is operatively connected with said set means and is connected with the central member by a free play spring, so that the central pin is not displaced until said central member is in its mentioned end position in which position the inner nozzle is at the same time put in liquid flow connection with the supply chamber of the nozzle head.

  • Patent number: 4848665
    Abstract: A compact spray gun using a single air supply port to actuate two piston valves and act as an air refinement system. An externally adjustable cartridge type packaging assembly needle piston valve seals the resin. A spool valve portion of a catalyst piston valve having O-ring seals is separable external from the piston portion. Leak detection ports are provided so the operator can easily determine when to adjustment or replacement of the packing or O-ring seals. The catalyst piston valve controls the mixing of the catalyst and air from a second air supply port. In a preferred embodiment, the resin piston valve controls a valve which provide air to the chopper system simultaneously with spraying of the resin.

  • Patent number: 4798338
    Abstract: An apparatus for the electro-kinetic charging of powder-like materials having a pair of supply channels, an input zone for each channel, one for the powder dispersed in a gas flow and one for another gas flow and which are shaped as dual annular nozzles with a pipe-shaped separating wall therebetween acting as an electrostatic ionizing electrode and made from an electrically semiconductive material having anti-sticking properties and, wherein the adjoining flow channel is formed as an annular channel by a pipe from an insulating material, and a centrally arranged rod, wherein the ratio between rod and pipe diameters is on the range from 0.75 to 0.9.
