Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a pulse fog generator powered by a resonant intermittent combustion device having a carburetor and a combustion antechamber, includes a starting air supply system for directing a flow of starting air into the antechamber, comprising an inlet/outlet ball check valve mounted over the discharge opening piston chamber within which a piston head is reciprocated by a connecting rod eccentrically mounted to an electric motor. A priming pump is mounted on the carburetor, and comprises a priming fuel chamber hydraulically communicating with the carburetor and a piston reciprocatable within the priming fuel chamber to draw fuel from a fuel tank into the priming fuel chamber and to discharge the fuel from the priming fuel chamber into the carburetor. In lieu of the reciprocatable piston, a resilient priming bulb and valve assembly can supply the priming fuel to the throat passage of the carburetor in another embodiment.

Abstract: In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pulse fog generator powered by a resonant intermittent combustion device having a carburetor and a combustion antechamber, includes a starting air supply system for directing a flow of starting air into the antechamber, comprising an inlet/outlet check valve mounted over the discharge opening of a bellows that is reciprocated by a connecting rod eccentrically mounted to an electric motor. A priming pump is mounted on the carburetor, and comprises a priming fuel chamber hydraulically communicating with the carburetor and a piston reciprocatable within the priming fuel chamber to draw fuel from a fuel tank into the priming fuel chamber and to discharge the fuel from the priming fuel chamber into the carburetor.

Abstract: A poultry vaccinator for use in brooding houses having multiple layered rows of cages for high volume vaccination. The vaccinator apparatus includes a plurality of atomizer nozzles disposed at multiple elevations on a collapsible stand pipe assembly. A single reservoir provides a common source for vaccination liquid for each of the atomizer nozzles. Calibration orifices located in the liquid lines to each of the atomizer nozzles provide pressure compensation for elevational differences of the nozzles. Thereby producing a uniform particle size aerosol out of the nozzles regardless of nozzle elevation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pulse-jet engine powered, fog producing device using a carburetor to feed atomized fuel to the engine combustion chamber, the carburetor operation being characterized by a positive pressurization of a diaphragm-walled chamber to open a fuel inlet valve during the engine starting interval, and provision of a positive pressure fuel delivery to the carburetor utilizing the combustion pressure pulses of the engine as the fuel pumping impetus.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dual pump with priming reservoir assembly for dispensing a fluid chemical at a low flow rate into a substance with which the fluids is to be mixed. It includes adjacent primary and secondary piston-type pumps and a separation chamber or priming reservoir. The primary pump has a discharge capacity in substantial excess of the final dispensing fluid flow rate. The suction side of this pump is connected to a remote source of chemical fluid to be dispensed. The discharge line of the primary pump and the suction side of the secondary pump communicate with the reservoir. The discharge side of the secondary pump is connected to the dispensing line and its output is adjusted to provide the desired, accurately metered dispensing fluid flow.

Abstract: Disclosed is a constant pressure spraying apparatus in which the motor driven pump piston moves within a pump housing and valve assembly which are carried by a cap or closure for the fluid tank forming the reservoir of fluid to be pumped and sprayed. The cap structure is shaped so as to provide a drain sump for fluid leaking past the pump piston.

Abstract: Disclosed is a fog generating apparatus having adjustable metering valve in which the liquid atomized at the nozzle of the apparatus is drawn past a valve opening of adjustable size and flows through the cooperating valve stem to a conduit leading to the atomizing nozzle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable, pulse-jet engine powered fog producing device in which the valve controlling the flow of the fluid forming the fog is of simplified construction utilizing a mating conical cavity and a conical, resilient valve member which is also provided with an integral shoulder forming a dynamic seal for the valve stem with respect to the valve body. A manual lever, having a unidirectional connection to the valve stem, has a locking and "dead man" feature.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable, pulse-jet engine powered fog producing device in which the hot engine components are mounted on one side of a vertical plate and the fuel and insecticide supply tanks are mounted on the opposite side of the plate and in which the engine components are formed to utilize natural convection currents to rapidly cool the engine after shut-down.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for checking the energy level of a battery, or battery pack, of the type used in the powering of transmitters, receivers and servos used in powered model airplanes, boats, cars, etc. The circuit connects a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) and two light emitting diodes (LED) so that the diodes give a no, no-go indication of the battery's available output compared to a predetermined standard. Initially, in the checking procedure, the battery has power withdrawn through a load resistor prior to the final go, no-go indication.
