Abstract: A reel assembly (10) having a spool (20) comprising a drum core (22) and side disc flanges (24) attached to the drum core (22) for retaining a wound hose (26) on the spool (20), and a release mechanism (120) operatively engaging the spool (20) via a drive shaft (110). The release mechanism (120) has a pair of rotatable hubs (132, 134) arranged in axial alignment and having a clamping spring (136) fitted around the rotatable hubs (132, 134) and arranged to clamp the hubs (132, 134) together in fixed rotational relation, wherein the clamping spring (136) opens to releases the rotatable hubs (132, 134) when the spool (20) is rotated in a payout direction so that the rotatable hubs (132, 134) disengage and the spool (20) can freewheel.

Abstract: A high-pressure spray nozzle assembly (10) has a nozzle body (20) and nozzle cap (30), which are operatively coupled and co-operatively house a retainer (40) having a clasp (42) for retaining wear components (50). The nozzle cap (30) has an open-stepped detent (32) formed in relief on an internal peripheral surface of the nozzle cap (30), which operatively permits sealing of the retainer (40) against the nozzle cap (30) as a consequence of hydraulic pressure applied by fluid delivered through the spray nozzle assembly (10).

Abstract: A detergent pouch may be made from a dissolvable paper which completely dissolves upon contact with liquid water thereby releasing the detergent contained within the pouch. The dissolvable paper may be a Cellulose gum such as Carboxymethyl Cellulose. The dissolvable paper is free from any coloring, dyes, impurities and other toxins. The detergent may be laundry detergent such as Sodium Carbonate, C12-15 Pareth-2, and Sodium Metasilicate which is free from any fillers, perfumes, coloring agents, or brighteners. The paper pouch and the powder detergent may be safe for septic wastewater treatment systems, biodegradable, and hypoallergenic. The paper pouch may be non-toxic.

Abstract: A static axial seal gland (100, 100) formed in relief in a substrate (31, 52) and having an inner sidewall (32, 53), an outer sidewall (33, 54) and a floor (34, 55) extending between the inner sidewall (32, 53) and the outer sidewall, one or both of the inner sidewall (32, 53) and the outer sidewall (32, 53) being concavely-profiled in radial section along a major portion of its depth to define a projecting lip (35, 56) proximal a land of the substrate (31, 52), the gland (100, 100?) being fitted with an elastomeric O-ring (39, 59) which is located and retained by interference with the projecting lip (35, 56), either under tension on the inner sidewall (32, 53) or in compression against the outer sidewall (33, 54).

Abstract: A blow off cap and nozzle apparatus includes a nozzle having a tip with an aperture covered with a sealing membrane held in position over the nozzle aperture by a retaining device, so that a seal is provided for preventing ingress of contaminants into the nozzle when not in use, and the sealing membrane becomes dislodged from the nozzle when use of the nozzle commences.

Abstract: A level winder (10, 110, 210, 310) for use on a hose reel (1), the level winder including: a carriage (20, 120, 220) operatively connected to a hose guide (104-108), the carriage adapted to control the winding of the hose onto the hose reel and to allow the hose to be paid out through the hose guide; and a drive mechanism 30 carrying at least one drive dog (32, 136) that is adapted to travel in a substantially vertical drive mechanism plane and to engage a carriage guide (12, 112) on which the carriage is mounted to move the carriage reciprocally along a track. The carriage guide is aligned in the same plane that the drive dog travels and the carriage guide comprises at least one curved surface (14, 114) adapted to define a recess (13, 113) and to engage a curved surface of the drive dog (16, 116), such that at least a portion of the drive dog curved surface (I6) is always facing or engaged with the carriage guide curved surface (14) and remains trapped in the recess (12, 113).

Abstract: A wear part includes at least one wear component made from abrasion-resistant material and an upper seal groove around a central aperture on the upper face of the wear part. The upper seal groove is adapted to receive an axially compressible seal. A spray nozzle assembly includes at least one wear part made from a hard and abrasion-resistant material and a protective housing made from a strong and resilient material and having a downstream chamber adapted to receive one or more of the wear parts in releasably trapped relationship, the downstream chamber having a wall including a post defined by a slot in the downstream chamber wall either side of the post, the post including an inwardly extending protuberance at or near its end and adapted to prevent the wear part from escaping from the downstream chamber.
