  • Patent number: 11065631
    Abstract: A spraying nozzle, intended for spraying a product, defines a passage for the circulation of the product through the nozzle, wherein the passage opens through a wide connection orifice to the outside of the nozzle at an upstream end thereof, and through a narrow spraying orifice at a downstream end of the nozzle in order to spray the product; the passage has, between the connection orifice and the spraying orifice, at least one pre-atomization narrowing capable of atomizing the product, followed by a broadening downstream of the pre-atomization narrowing.

  • Patent number: 10315207
    Abstract: A pneumatic spraying assembly for a coating product including a pneumatic sprayer and a supply line for the pneumatic sprayer from a pressurized coating product source to which the supply line is connected by its upstream end, the pneumatic sprayer including a sprayer body and a control valve for controlling flow of the coating product toward a spraying area for the coating product, the controlling valve including a needle selectively closing off an outlet orifice of an inner volume of the sprayer body and the spraying assembly defining a flow path for the coating product, from the upstream end of the supply line to the outlet orifice of the inner volume, wherein a restrictor for restricting flow of the coating product is mounted on the flow path to create a pressure loss upstream from the outlet orifice.
