  • Publication number: 20140239096
    Abstract: A pneumatically powered foam sprayer is provided. The foam sprayer includes a spray hose having a spray nozzle, a trigger assembly proximate the spray nozzle, and a pressure-actuated valve responsive to the trigger assembly. An air conduit extends between the pressure-actuated valve and an opening in the trigger assembly. Obstructing the opening with a hand, a finger or a thumb creates a change of air pressure within the air conduit and actuates the pressure-actuated valve to selectively allow the supply of foam into the spray hose. The air conduit may extends longitudinally through an interior portion of the spray hose, or along an exterior portion of the spray hose, and can include a laminar, chemical-resistant outer surface. An internal pump is powered by compressed air through the pressure-actuated valve, and the spray nozzle remains open both during and between uses to prevent the accumulation of pressurized foam within the spray hose.

  • Publication number: 20140239097
    Abstract: A fuel pump for a fuel system includes a nozzle, a venturi, a pump inlet and a flow controller. The nozzle has an orifice through which fuel is ejected and the venturi is downstream of the nozzle and has an inlet through which fuel discharged from the orifice flows, a passage downstream of the venturi inlet through which fuel flows to create a drop in pressure in the area of the venturi, and an outlet through which fuel is discharged from the venturi. Fuel is drawn through the pump inlet fuel by the drop in the pressure created in the area of the venturi and the flow controller is downstream of the outlet and has a chamber in which fuel from the venturi outlet is received. The flow controller causes fuel to fill the venturi to ensure performance of the fuel pump.

  • Publication number: 20140239099
    Abstract: The present invention is a processing device, such as a macerator for use in processing various types of food products, that includes an automatic adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of a roller disposed within the macerator. The mechanism includes a controller operably connected to a motor that can move the roller within the macerator to vary the position of the roller with respect to another roller located in the macerator. Inputs to the controller are used to control the operation of the motor to move the roll into a desired configuration associated in a storage medium in the controller with a particular food product to be processed. The input to the controller can also be used to simultaneously adjust the position of other components of other processing devices in a food processing system, such as an injector to remove the need for individually adjust each device in the system.

  • Publication number: 20140239110
    Abstract: In a webbing take-up device, a cut-out portion is formed in a close-off portion that closes off a pawl housing groove from a side opposite a spool body side. For this reason, the close-off portion is not formed in a position facing ratchet teeth which is at from a second ratchet tooth from a take-up direction side to the other side. Due to this, even if a head portion of a lock pawl, particularly a take-up direction side portion of the head portion, is displaced in such a way as to move away from the spool body, the head portion does not come into contact with the close-off portion or, even if the head portion comes into contact with the close-off portion, a force with which the head portion presses the close-off portion becomes smaller.

    Abstract: There are provided a roll sheet conveying apparatus and a sheet conveying control method wherein it is possible to control motor driving for conveying a roll sheet at appropriate timing to keep constant the tension of the sheet to be conveyed without performing a special identifying operation. For this feature, a relationship between friction load torque on the roll sheet and the mass of the roll sheet is previously stored in a storing unit, whereby the moment of inertia of the roll sheet can be detected at appropriate timing during printing. As a result, the optimum tension of the sheet to be conveyed can be maintained by appropriately adjusting the driving control of a sheet feeding motor and a conveying motor without performing a special identifying operation.
