  • Publication number: 20240082859
    Abstract: A dual mode spray gun has a mixing valve with two inlets and two outlets. A handle assembly extending proximally from the valve couples the first inlet to pressurized water and provides means for manually starting and stopping flow. The second inlet draws detergent from a reservoir mounted to the valve. A barrel extending distally from the valve terminates at spray and foam ports connected respectively to the first and second outlets via first and second channels formed through the barrel, the second channel defining an aeration port upstream of the foam port. A mode switch on the mixing valve in a first position allows flow from the first inlet to the spray port, stops flow from the second inlet and stops flow to the foam port, and in a second position stops flow to the spray port and allows flow from the first and second inlets to mix and aerate en route to the foam port.

  • Publication number: 20150217320
    Abstract: A telescopic water wand utilizing an exterior tube, an interior tube, a seal and a handle. The handle is mounted at one end of the exterior tube where the interior enters the exterior tube. The handle includes a pressable button that depresses a spraying on one end and lifts a locking pin on the other end. The locking pin interacts with a series of indentations on the interior tube allowing a user to select a desirable length of the water wand. The fluid tight seal is achieved by a sealing piece that utilizes two separate sections: a smaller section that fits within the interior tube and a larger section that fits with the exterior tube. Each section has one or more external o-rings to create a seal with the associated tube.

  • Patent number: 7028923
    Abstract: A dual closure nozzle for use with a hose carrying a liquid under pressure. The dual closure nozzle is made up of an inner delivery conduit attached to an end cap and threaded within an outer sleeve having a nozzle head. The dual closure nozzle is configured to have two different stop positions and to be adjustable between these two stop positions and a variety of open positions. When a liquid is forced through the nozzle, the flow of the liquid can then be adjusted from a first stop position, where no liquid passes out of the nozzle, through a variety of open position spray patterns to a second stop position. This configuration thus provides a nozzle that can be closed by turning the outer sleeve portion of the nozzle in either of two directions, and prevents spray from wetting the person utilizing the device.

  • Patent number: 6705360
    Abstract: An air compressor for use with direct source current sources such as the typical cigarette lighter found in most motor vehicles. The device is made up of an electrically powered air compressor which is controllable by a removable programmable controller. This removable programmable controller is configured to be removable from the compressor to measure an amount of air pressure within an item, and to be programmed and placed upon the compressor to activate the compressor to deliver a desired amount of air to the item being inflated, and to deactivate the compressor when a desired amount of air pressure has been reached within the device.
