Abstract: An apparatus for use by a user to entertain the user and to dispense a fragrance includes a container made of plastic which contains a colorless or lightly tinted liquid and about 2 to 6 beads of hard plastic or glass. The user shakes the container to produce a pleasing vibration and sound and actuates a spray pump to spray the liquid onto bedding or other household objects to spread a fragrance which is contained in the liquid.
Abstract: A fine particle dispersing apparatus including a cylindrical body, a funnel nozzle provided at the bottom of the cylindrical body, and a valve having a clearance forming member forming a clearance with the inner wall of the funnel nozzle which is larger than the diameter of the fine particles. The funnel nozzle and/or the clearance forming member oscillates, thereby causing the fine particles present within the funnel nozzle to pass through the clearance and discharge from the nose portion of the funnel nozzle.
Abstract: A rotary type electrostatic spray painting device comprising a rotary shaft and a spray head fixed onto the front end of the rotary shaft. Paint is fed onto the cup shaped inner wall of the spray head. The rotary shaft is supported by a single thrust air bearing and a pair of radial air bearings. An electrode, continuously contacting the rear end of the rotary shaft, is provided. A negative high voltage is applied to the housing of the paint device. In addition, the negative high voltage is also applied to the spray head via the electrode and the rotary shaft.
Abstract: A very fine fog or mist producing nozzle is disclosed wherein two or more balls rotate in an enclosed orifice chamber, into which the fluid is tangentially injected, to break up the fluid into a very fine mist. The nozzle produces a mist of much finer atomized particles than the prior art devices to thereby increase the efficiency of a fuel burner or similar device. The nozzle is such that it may be readily attached to an existing fluid flow line without major alterations.
Abstract: A shower flow modulator for providing a massaging effect on the skin of a shower user is adapted to fit within the stem of a shower nozzle for modulating the flow of water leaving the nozzle. The shower flow modulator includes a hydrodynamically-shaped member which is attracted into and then repulsed from a stream of water passing through the modulator thereby varying the direction of travel and intensity of the stream to provide the massaging action.
