  • Patent number: 4884893
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating and dispersing immiscible liquid particles in a carrier liquid by introducing the immiscible liquid as streams into a tubular flow of carrier liquid and shearing particles from the streams immediately as they enter the flow path with shearing elements rotating through the tubular flow path closely adjacent the ends of the tubes. The flow of the particle-containing liquid is stabilized by vanes extending parallel to the tubular flow path and the flow is disrupted to disturb any uneven concentration of particles by an offset portion of the flow conduit, which offset portion is rotated. The flow is distributed into dispensing conduits mounted on a support that is reciprocated to impart a primary reciprocal motion and a secondary reciprocal motion to the dispensing of the particle-containing carrier liquid for application to a substrate, such as carpet.
