  • Patent number: 11077459
    Abstract: The present invention relates to accelerated directional airflows for use in, preferably, paint booths. Specifically, the present invention relates to apparatuses, systems, and methods of using the same that create an accelerated directional airflow while eliminating the requirement of having multiple vents, nozzles, hoses, and the like. Even more specifically, the present invention controls airflow more efficiently, requires fewer parts, and costs less to use and maintain. Specifically, the accelerated directional airflows are useful in paint booths for drying painted parts and for ventilation.

  • Publication number: 20050029364
    Abstract: A wobbling irrigation sprinkler head for attachment to a water conduit has a wobbling sprinkler head facing upward from the water supply conduit. The sprinkler head has a base having an attachment portion for attaching to a water source and a nozzle mounted to the base for directing water therethrough. A wobbling water deflector head is movably attached to the base and has a water deflector pad thereon having a deflector surface of predetermined shape to deflect water being emitted from the nozzle to rotate the wobbling water deflector head. A counterbalancing skirt extends from the water deflecting head around a portion of the base and spaced from the base for rotation with a wobbling water deflector head so that counterbalancing the skirt counterbalances the water deflector head to dampen vibration forces in the deflector head.

  • Patent number: 5881757
    Abstract: A pressure regulator apparatus has a pressure regulator mechanism which includes first and second housing portions, each made of substantially rigid material, such as a PVC polymer, and each housing portion having a passageway therethrough. One of the housing portions has a plurality of niches formed therein while a second housing portion has a plurality of raised wedged members formed thereon so that the pressure regulator mechanism can be placed in the two housings which can be driven together to drive the housing wedge members of one portion of the housing into the niches of the other portion of the housing. Since both housings have a cylindrical portion, the wedge members are sized to extend above the inner lip of the other housing portion to thereby require a forced expansion of the substantially rigid housing portion to drive the wedge members into the locking niches in the other housing member which simultaneously locks the pressure regulator mechanism into position in the housing.

  • Patent number: 5381960
    Abstract: A wobbling irrigation sprinkler head is provided for use on a self-propelled mechanically moving irrigation system, such as a center pivot field irrigation system having the wobbling sprinkler head facing downward from the water supply conduit. The sprinkler head has a base for attaching to a pipe or to the central water supply conduit which base has nozzle mounted therein for directing water against a wobbling water deflecting head which is movably attached to the base and supports a deflector pad. The deflector pad has a deflection surface of predetermined shape with water deflecting grooves formed therein for rotating and wobbling the water deflecting head. The deflecting head has a loose fitting sleeve portion surrounding a support arm on the base and the base has a removable nozzle insert holder having a flange to loosely hold the deflecting head thereto.

  • Patent number: 4728040
    Abstract: An irrigation spray nozzle apparatus has a base member for attachment to a water line, which has a passageway therethrough. A nozzle is attached to the base member to control water flow and to direct water from the outlet of the passageway through the base towards a water deflector pad removably attached to a water deflector pad support to spray water passing from the nozzle. At least one arm is attached to the base and to the water deflector pad in position in line with the outlet of the nozzle. The water deflector pad can be removed and a hose attached through a passageway through the pad support or to an extension on the pad support itself, to convert the spray nozzle to an irrigation hose discharge device.
