  • Patent number: 7611079
    Abstract: A spray nozzle which employs a locking and an alignment feature to facilitate the replacement of internal nozzle components. The spray nozzle includes a nozzle body, a swirl element and an orifice disc. The nozzle body defines a central bore which extends between a fluid receiving section and a fluid discharge section and delineates a central axis and delimits an interior locating surface for swirl element and the orifice disc. The orifice disc includes a protuberance associated with the downstream surface thereof which protrudes into the spray opening of the nozzle body.

  • Patent number: 5024257
    Abstract: A woodworking machine attachable to a table saw, the machine being adapted to readily accept and release yet securely hold a mounting plate on which a router is releasable secured. The machine includes mechanism which is manually actuated to effect controlled movement of the tool relative to either a rip fence which is selectively positioned on the table or a miter gauge slidable along a groove extending across the table. The rip fence or miter gauge is effective to prevent backlash and vibration of a work piece as one edge of the work piece is fed into cutting engagement with the router bit while the opposite edge of the work piece is in operative engagement with the fence or miter gauge.
