  • Publication number: 20250345816
    Abstract: An illuminated pressure washer gun with illuminated spray generally provides a handle that has a hand grip portion and a trigger. A conduit for pressurized fluid is defined in the handle, and a pressure valve that is actuated by movement of the trigger regulates flow of pressurized fluid through the conduit which is received from a pressurized fluid source. A power source within the handle provides electrical energy to a plurality of light emitters carried within the handle, and the light emitters are positioned to illuminate the stream of pressurized fluid dispersed from the pressure wash gun.

  • Patent number: 7350502
    Abstract: An apparatus and method of controlling exhaust pressure in an internal combustion engine are disclosed. In one embodiment the apparatus may comprise: a housing; a valve disposed in the housing; an orifice formed in the valve, wherein the orifice defines a gas flowpath through the valve; and a shaft slidably disposed in a bore formed in the valve, the shaft movable between a first position, in which gas is substantially prevented from flowing through said orifice, and a second position in which gas is permitted to flow through said orifice. The position of the shaft may be selectively varied in response to an actuating force.
