Patents by Inventor Joel S. Hayes

Joel S. Hayes has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Portable induction electrospraying apparatus and method
    Patent number: 10654068
    Abstract: Low form factor mobile electrostatic spray units and methods of using same are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 15, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 19, 2020
    Inventors: Richard Bruce Whiting, Cameron D. Hobbs, Joel S. Hayes
  • SYSTEM AND NOZZLE APPARATUS FOR ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYING
    Publication number: 20190060924
    Abstract: A liquid is mixed with a pressurized air flow through an orifice which breaks it into particles. The liquid particles are entrained in the liquid flow and come into contact with an energized component in the form of a cone or frustum that is in contact with an electrode. The energized component defines a mixing chamber within a spray nozzle. As a result, while in the mixing chamber, the particles become electrostatically charged before exiting the spray nozzle. Embodiments also include a removable cap component within which the energized component nests. The cap component may include a pair of windows that cooperate with tabs on the body of the spray nozzle in order to mechanically engage the cap to the body such that the energized component is properly positioned to mate with the electrode and define the mixing chamber.
    Type: Application
