  • Patent number: 5054692
    Abstract: A fluid discharge apparatus for imparting a stream configuration to a current of fluid. The fluid discharge apparatus includes a nozzle containing a passageway having at least a receiving portion with a substantially rectilinear cross-section and an issuing portion with a substantially curvilinear cross-section, such that a fluid current passing through the passageway emerges therefrom in a stream configuration.The nozzle may be pivotably connected to a second nozzle. The second nozzle is adapted for incorporation into a sprayer-type fluid dispenser, and contains a second passageway. Pivoting of the first nozzle towards, and its consequent attachment to, the second nozzle brings the first and second passageways into sealed communication. This permits the fluid current generated by the sprayer apparatus to be dispensed as either a spray, when the first nozzle is not attached to the second nozzle, or as a stream, when the first nozzle is so attached.

  • Patent number: 3949866
    Abstract: A rubber scraper is slidably received in a guide frame. A horizontal cross member supports the bottom edge of the scraper. Counterweight assemblies are attached to the ends of the cross member and function to raise the scraper through the frame toward the underside of the conveyor belt to be scraped. The counterweight assemblies each include a counterweight running in a downwardly curved guide so that, as the weight of the scraper diminishes due to wear, friction and the support of the curved guide acting on the weight gradually decreases the force with which the counterweight pulls on the cross member, thereby ensuring that the scraper applies a generally constant pressure against the belt.
