  • Heated hose electrical connectors
    Patent number: 11942726
    Abstract: An electrical connector system for use with independently heated hoses includes a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector, a third electrical connector, and a fourth electrical connector. The first electrical connector includes a first key that mates with a second key of the second electrical connector. The third electrical connector includes a third key that mates with a fourth key of the fourth electrical connector. The first and second keys differ from the third and fourth keys, ensuring the electrical connectors are correctly connected.

  • ELECTRICALLY OPERATED PUMP FOR A PLURAL COMPONENT SPRAY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20230125161
    Abstract: An electrically operated pumping assembly for a plural component spray system includes an electric motor (14) having a stator (88) and a rotor (90). The rotor is disposed coaxially with first and second pumps (26a, 26b) and is configured to cause pumping by each of the first and second pumps. The first and second pumps are configured to pump different component materials to an applicator (34) for forming a plural component spray material. A drive mechanism (86) is disposed between and connected to each of the rotor and the fluid displacement members (70a, 70b) of the first and second pumps. The drive mechanism receives a rotational output from the rotor and provides a linear input to the first and second pumps to cause pumping.
