  • Patent number: 7992802
    Abstract: The present invention provides a bumping-type sprinkler. The sprinkler includes a main body, where an inlet pipe coupling end is mounted at the lower end, an upper frame is mounted at the upper end, and a water outlet is arranged at lower flange nearby the upper frame. A revolving member, arranged onto the upper frame of the main body, has a torsional spring and a revolving portion. An outflow turntable is assembled corresponding to the water outlet of the main body. A pivot portion is placed centrally on the outflow turntable for screwing it laterally on the water outlet at interval. A plurality of outflow guide holes are arranged at intervals along a circular path of the eccentric circumferential portion of the outflow turntable. The outflow guide holes can be located corresponding to the water outlet in line with the change of rotation/displacement angle of the outflow turntable.

  • Patent number: 7566012
    Abstract: A multi-functional sprinkling apparatus structure comprises an outlet mount with support lugs to fix on top of a water motor, and a water-guiding member transversely mounted to assembly holes of the support lugs. The assembly holes have water ducts fluidly connected to water-inlet passages of the water-guiding member. A rotary member with a channel and a water shield with actuation holes are pivotally mounted to the middle section of the water-guiding member. The channel of the rotary member has multiple outlets with spray nozzles attached thereto to generate various sprays, and recesses to engage with a movable elastic element mounted to the water-guiding member. The rotary member can be switched to change the outlet matching to a water-discharge orifice of the water-guiding member for a certain spray. The water shield can be bent to one side to adjust the angle of the water-guiding member and the rotary member for sprinkling.

  • Patent number: 7234651
    Abstract: An improved irrigation spray head for use with pressurized water to produce a generally 360° spray pattern is provided. The spray head has a first channel that provides a water flow path in a generally vertical direction from the distal end of the spray head body to a main exit port. The spray head body includes a cavity having a geometry that, along with the first channel and the main exit port designs, causes the pressurized water to disperse radially outward away from the spray head body in the generally 360° spray pattern. A plurality of secondary channels provides secondary water flow paths from a plurality of interior ports in the cavity to a plurality of sidewall exit ports. The secondary channels result in a water flow out of the sidewall ports at a reduced water velocity thereby providing enhanced, close-in irrigation coverage.

  • Patent number: 7198456
    Abstract: A rotary jetting tool including a pressure-balanced rotor, which is achieved using a vented volume. Axial movement of the rotor relative to the housing caused by pressure imbalances acting on the rotor selectively uncovers or opens a vent that places the volume in fluid communication with an ambient volume, enabling the rotor to achieve a pressure balanced condition. A plurality of radial clearance seals between the rotor and the housing are used to provide hydrodynamic bearings to reduce friction between the rotor and housing. The diameters of the seals are manipulated to facilitate pressure balancing of the rotor. In one embodiment, the rotor includes a centrifugal brake configured to control a maximum rotational speed of the rotor. Pressurized fluid is introduced into the rotor in an axial direction, enabling a relatively large upstream settling chamber to be incorporated into the rotor, thereby reducing inlet turbulence and improving jet quality.

  • Patent number: 7043775
    Abstract: A pulsating hydrotherapy jet is disclosed which has a jet body with a water inlet to allow water to flow into the body. The jet body discharges the water through a discharge member in more than one concentric pattern. A cap mounted on the body to receive the circular water patterns is also disclosed. The cap has a number of openings that form more than one concentric opening ring. Each of the opening rings align with a respective one of the circular water patterns to provide the sensation of a number of circular patterns of multiple pulsating jets. A system for providing a hydrotherapy jet to a reservoir of water is also disclosed. The system includes a reservoir shell capable of holding water with a number of hydrotherapy jets according to the invention that are mounted around the reservoir shell. A water pump system circulates water from the reservoir to the jets.

  • Patent number: 7007865
    Abstract: A self-adjusting nozzle for use in injecting pressurized, and optionally pulsating, fluid into a well bore or other conduit for the purpose of cleaning out the bore or conduit, the nozzle having slidably engaged mandrel and tool tip sections, each with an axial bore, and the tool tip having a plurality of axially and circumferentially spaced discharge ports communicating with the axial bores, the mandrel being able to reciprocate inside the tool tip without operator intervention in response to obstructions encountered ahead of, around or behind the nozzle as it enters or leaves the well bore or conduit, thereby sequentially blocking or unblocking some of the discharge ports to direct more of the pressurized fluid against the obstruction.

  • Patent number: 6899285
    Abstract: A protruding nozzle assembly, mounted in a side wall of a swimming pool in communication with a source of water, will eject through a nozzle of a nozzle housing a stream of water at a predetermined angle relative to the adjacent side wall surface. During each erection and retraction of the nozzle housing precipitated by initiation and cessation of water flow to the nozzle assembly, the nozzle housing will rotate incrementally to provide a plurality of streams of water defining a fan-like area from each nozzle as such nozzle comes into fluid communication with an opening in a cover enclosing the nozzle housing. Each nozzle is canted to a different angle above the adjacent surface to assist in cleaning sloping parts of the side wall/bottom surface junction and to assist in cleaning any adjacent structures extending from the side wall.

  • Patent number: 4187264
    Abstract: A carburetor for an internal combustion engine comprising a fuel chamber arranged in the mixing compartment of a suction tube and rotatable about the lower end of a fuel-infeed conduit secured in the mixing compartment by means of an impeller wheel rotatable in the sucked-up air current. The fuel chamber possesses at least one lateral nozzle for the delivery of fuel into the mixing compartment. A ring-shaped gap is provided in the fuel chamber between its inner wall and the stationary fuel-infeed conduit. By means of this gap a lower fuel compartment, into which opens the fuel-infeed conduit, communicates with an upper fuel compartment. The upper fuel compartment has a ring-shaped air inlet opening which is coaxially arranged with respect to the fuel-infeed conduit.
