Abstract: The invention relates to a discharge apparatus for media. Corresponding media discharge apparatuses are e.g. generally known in the form of pump atomizers.

Abstract: A portable automatic misting device (20) uses a misting device assembly (38) to automatically disperses a mist (36). The misting assembly (38) includes a hollow cylinder (40) that forms a liquid reservoir (50) that is in fluid communication with a one-way valve (76,102) that permits liquid flow into the reservoir (50). The reservoir (50) has fluid communication with a misting nozzle (34) through a hollow plunger rod (28). A plunger (42), a spring (48) and a portion of the hollow plunger rod (28) are located inside the hollow cylinder (40). The spring (48) is biased to move the plunger (42) and the hollow plunger rod (28) to automatically shrink the liquid reservoir (50). In another embodiment, the plunger rod (28) is solid and the reservoir (50) has fluid communication with the misting nozzle (34) through a second one-way valve (106) that permits liquid flow out of the reservoir (50).

Abstract: An installation (10) for conveying a liquid from a container (12) to a carrier material (45, 47). The installation (10) comprises a conduit system with two parallel conduit branches (24, 26). A conveying pump (14, 16) is arranged in each conduit branch (24, 26), and each conduit branch (24, 26) leads to a dispensing head (34, 36). At least one dispensing pump (14) is an intermittently operating pump, in particular a piston pump, while the second conveying pump (16) can be a pump of any arbitrary construction, in particular a continuously operating pump, for example a gear pump. The installation (10) can be used for conveying liquids of various, also temperature-dependent viscosities, such as an adhesive, for example.
