Publication number: 20160199856Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a variable flow nozzle assembly capable of flowing a fluid within a range of flow rates in response to a variable upstream pressure. A spray tip defines a chamber and a flow port in communication with the chamber. A pre-orifice defines a flow path in communication with the chamber and a metering portion along the flow path. A spool valve defines a spool rod portion positioned within the metering portion and configured to be moveable in response to an applied upstream fluid pressure between a minimum and a maximum flow position. A biasing mechanism biases the spool valve toward the minimum flow position. An opening between the metering and spool rod portions allows for fluid flow through the flow path to be greater when the spool valve is in the maximum flow position than when in the minimum flow position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2016Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: Veena Raghunandan, Arminder Singh, Simon Waddelow

Patent number: 7980490Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a nozzle body including a main body, a turret, a valve assembly, and a feed spigot. The feed spigot can be in fluid communication with a valve chamber via a first feed point and a second feed point. The use of multiple feed points between the feed spigot and the valve chamber can result in increased flow capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2007Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Sta-Rite Industries, LLCInventors: Simon Waddelow, Robert Olson

Publication number: 20080083838Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a spray head including a housing having a facetted front face with a plurality of intersecting surfaces. The spray head can include a nozzle in each one of the plurality of intersecting surfaces. The nozzle can be positioned within a first recess of the housing so that an outer end of the nozzle does not extend past an outer surface of the housing. The nozzle can generate and dispense a fog-like mist. The spray head can include a cover that substantially prevents an orifice of the nozzle from becoming blocked with debris. The cover can be installed within a second recess of the nozzle so that the cover is substantially flush with the outer surface of the housing.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2007Publication date: April 10, 2008Inventor: Simon Waddelow

Publication number: 20070095956Abstract: Spray nozzle apparatus and method. The apparatus can include a body, a spray orifice, a filter, and an insert. The body can have a spray outlet portion. The spray outlet portion can terminate in a spherical dome. The spray orifice can be included in the spray outlet portion and positioned before the spherical dome in a flow path. The spray orifice can be substantially V-shaped. The insert can be positioned at least partially in the spray outlet portion and can include an entry shaft having a substantially rectangular cross section and at least one projection.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2005Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: Trevor Swan, Simon Waddelow, Mark Mohr
