  • Patent number: 11162605
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to the dispensing of a fluid. More specifically, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for remotely controlling the flow of an effluent fluid stream from a dispensing hose of a fluid dispenser. An actuator controls at least one valve assembly of the fluid dispenser and comprises a generator located remotely of the at least one valve assembly, for generating a low-pressure signal, and at least one receiver in fluid communication with the generator for receiving the low pressure signal of each receiver operably associated with each valve assembly. The actuator also facilitates the simultaneous, sequential and alternate control of the at least one valve assembly.

  • Patent number: 10850241
    Abstract: A dispenser for mixing and dispensing a liquid chemical concentrate with a diluent from a container. The dispenser includes two slidable 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.

  • Patent number: 10786795
    Abstract: A liquid dispenser for dispensing an effluent mixture comprises a manifold inlet connectable to a pressurized liquid source, at least one individual diluent outlet in fluid communication with the manifold inlet, and at least one backflow preventer and eductor system in fluid communication with the at least one individual diluent outlet. A flow regulator is in fluid communication with the at least one individual diluent outlet and the at least one backflow preventer and eductor system, located upstream of the at least one backflow preventer and eductor system and downstream of the at least one individual diluent outlet. The flow regulator is preferably individualized for the at least one backflow preventer and eductor system and interchangeable within the dispenser to facilitate a plurality of volumetric flow rates to the at least one respective backflow preventer and eductor system.

  • Patent number: 8336569
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8333410
    Abstract: A multi-piece swivel coupling kit with a snap connection for ready and rapid assembly with the capability to be disassembled and reconfigured as required by the specific installation. The swivel coupling kit includes a tubular socket member having a line connecting end and multiple coupling ends and multiple tubular stem members each having a line connecting end and a coupling end connectable to one of the coupling ends of the tubular socket member. The multiple coupling ends including integral complementing annular projections and recesses which define a close fitting bearing unit creating forced engagement between the projections and recesses to establish smooth engagement and rotational support of the socket member and each of the stem members. The multiple coupling ends of the tubular socket member are configured to allow releasable configuration, reconfiguration and expansion of the multiple tubular stem members along a X axis, a Y axis and a Z axis and in a X plane, a Y plane and a Z plane.
