  • Patent number: 6916378
    Abstract: A rotary dispenser that provides for airlessly applying a fluidic coating material to a target surface. The rotary dispenser of the present invention includes an angled fluidic passage therein, a fluid control body and a motor driven shaft to which the rotary dispenser is operationally attached. The rotary dispenser, with its angled fluid passage, provides a flow conduit which produces a series of overlapping circular spray patterns. The resulting spray patterns can be controlled to provide a narrow line spray pattern with clearly defined edges. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a spray pattern for coating the interior surface of hollow objects. A method of using the rotary dispenser in various coating applications is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6523757
    Abstract: A compact spray valve that provides an extended atomizing air cap for reaching between tightly spaced electronic components. The compact spray valve of the present invention includes an air body, a fluid control body and an extended atomizing air cap. The atomizing air cap along with a seat extension provides a plurality of laminar air flow conduits causing atomization of a fluid into a spray. The resulting spray pattern can be controlled to provide a narrow line spray pattern with clearly defined edges. Another embodiment of the present invention provides a flat spray pattern.

  • Patent number: 6196521
    Abstract: A valve is provided including a body made of anaerobic, reactive fluid resistant material. The valve also directs pressurized fluid in a substantially planar manner between adjacent port holes on a recessed area of a fluid body section of the valve. The flexible diaphragm can be actuated manually or programmed to dispense pressurized fluid, such as cyanoacrylate fluid. A method of dispensing anaerobic, reactive material is also provided.

  • Patent number: 6068202
    Abstract: A spraying and dispensing apparatus that provides both spraying and dispensing from a single compact apparatus. The present invention includes a valve assembly attached to a pneumatic slide assembly. Included in the valve assembly are a valve main body, comprising an air body and a fluid control body, and an air atomizing body. The air body includes a system for controlling a fluid control needle to regulate the flow of material provided to a fluid dispenser needle. The pneumatic slide assembly includes a pneumatic slide to selectively position an outlet of the fluid dispenser needle within the atomizing air body for spraying, or outside of the atomizing air body for dispensing.
