Publication number: 20080223448Abstract: An eductor for mixing two liquids wherein the eductor includes a closed or non-air gap back flow prevention member. The vacuum profile of the eductor is altered by changing an opening in a passage portion to controllably divert water flow around the venturi tube or diverting the water without the opening. This affords the changing of the vacuum profile without redesigning the entire eductor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2006Publication date: September 18, 2008Applicant: JOHNSONDIVERSEY, INC.Inventors: James H. Lohr, John A. Boticki, James L. Bournoville

Publication number: 20080179420Abstract: A dispenser for mixing and dispensing a liquid chemical concentrate with a dilutent from a container. The dispenser includes two slideable eductors one of which is also rotatable. Both a high and low flow rate can be obtained with simultaneous adjustment of concentration of the chemical concentrate. The dispenser has a high degree of accuracy of the amount of dilution of the chemical concentrate as well as positive positioning of the high and low flow rate.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2008Publication date: July 31, 2008Applicant: JohnsonDiversey, Inc.Inventors: Curtis H. Hubmann, Robert C. Halstead, Matthew E. Young, Elizabeth A. Slater, Richard I. Simpson, Reuben Wu, John A. Boticki

Patent number: 7152626Abstract: A fluid diverter valve for attaching a dispensing system to a water source. In a first mode, water flows through the diverter valve to a first outlet which can be a faucet outlet. In a second mode, water is diverted to a fluid conduit which is fastened to a connecting member and a chemical dispenser. The connecting member provides movement of a shuttle valve which directs water n the second mode to the fluid conduit.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2006Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: JohnsonDiversey, Inc.Inventors: Christopher F. Lang, Chris M. Ford, James Bournoville, John A. Boticki

Patent number: 6860295Abstract: A mixing and dispensing apparatus wherein a liquid concentrate is metered into a diluent stream of an eductor in a precise manner. A needle valve is employed in conjunction with a cam member and the cam member includes slopes of varying degrees. In this manner, a wide range of dilution rates can be accomplished with only a single revolution of the needle valve. The apparatus is particularly useful in mixing and dispensing chemical concentrates such as cleaning and sanitizing materials.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2002Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: JohnsonDiversey, Inc.Inventors: James H.
