Publication number: 20140312136Abstract: A portable volatile material dispenser includes a housing having a top wall and at least one side wall and an opening formed within the top wall of the housing. A volatile material actuator is disposed within the housing and a manifold is in fluid communication with and extends between the volatile material actuator and the opening to move volatile material in the form of a mist from the volatile material actuator, through the manifold, and out the opening. A container holding a fluid is disposed within the housing and in fluid communication with the volatile material actuator. An air flow generator disposed within the housing and positioned to create a flow of air out of the dispenser through the opening for moving the mist from the dispenser.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2013Publication date: October 23, 2014Inventors: Chris Kubicek, Scott D.

Publication number: 20140263751Abstract: A foaming nozzle assembly and method of forming a foaming nozzle useable with pressure washing systems that includes a tube and a cover that cooperates with the tube. An interior surface of the tube defines a fluid path having by a first restriction, a second restriction, and an expansion chamber between the restrictions. An air path is defined between the cover and tube and fluidly connects the expansion chamber to atmosphere for introducing air to fluid associated with the fluid path. An atomizer is disposed downstream of the restrictions and expansion chamber and mixes the fluid and air to generate foam upon discharge of the mixture from the nozzle assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Generac Power Systems, Inc.Inventors: Blake Zernicke, Mir Khan, Greg Wischstadt
