Abstract: A pneumatic timed spray dispenser for automatically dispensing a quantity of the contents of a pressurized reservoir to the atmosphere at predetermined intervals, containing a timing piston structure utilizing the pressure in the reservoir to permit discharge of the contents to the atmosphere in an atomized form.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is provided a pneumatic slide hammer for removing a plug from a tube or other structure including a percussive piston, a housing for containing the percussive piston and for connecting to the plug to be removed from a structure, and a slidable cylindrical valve for controlling the flow of air under superatmospheric pressure to force the percussive piston against to impact against the housing and force the plug from the housing.

Abstract: Nozzle contained within tubular housing. An annular manifold concentrically surrounds and abuts the outside of the housing. The manifold communicates with an external source of water. A cylindrical transducer is located within the housing. A hollow cone having an exit opening formed by a truncated vertex and an open base forms the front of the nozzle. The face of the transducer which emits ultrasonic waves is situated adjacent to the base of the cone. An annular passageway concentrically surrounds the transducer. The passageway runs axially towards the front of the nozzle before turning radially inward towards the nozzle's centerline. The axial section of the passageway communicates with the manifold through radial ports. The section of the passageway that turns inward communicates with the base of the cone, and also directs flow of water so that its confluence is on the emitting face of the transducer. The water subsequently flows out the exit opening in a steady state column.

Abstract: Apparatus for continuously orienting an ultrasonic transducer so that the emitted ultrasonic waves remain at a normal angle of incidence to the opposing surface of an object while the transducer is being moved laterally across the surface in order to inspect the subsurface composition of the object. The sensor casing which contains the ultrasonic transducer pivots about one end of a tubular support arm, while the other end of the support arm pivots about a gearbox casing. A drive shaft passes through the support arm and has a miter gear on each end. One miter gear is engaged with a miter gear attached to the gearbox casing, and the other is engaged with a miter gear attached to the sensor casing so that the rotation of the drive shaft causes the simultaneous rotation of the support arm about the gearbox casing and, in the opposite direction, the rotation of the sensor casing about the support arm. The gearbox casing is attached to a carriage and has the freedom to roll relative to it.
