  • Patent number: 7191920
    Abstract: A household liquid dispensing apparatus includes a container for holding a household liquid and a pump for pumping the household liquid out of the container. The pump includes a pump chamber. A dip tube is adapted to be positioned in the container and communicates with the pump chamber. An exhaust tube communicates with the pump chamber and an outlet for the household liquid. A pump actuator mechanically drives the pump. A motor operatively engages the pump actuator. The motor is electrically connected to a power source. A switch is electrically connected to the motor and the power source. A trigger assembly is operatively connected to the switch to control power delivered to the motor. The trigger assembly is positioned under the outlet for the household liquid for easy actuation by an upturned hand.

  • Patent number: 5975435
    Abstract: An adjustable air brush for spray paint cans comprised of a tube portion having an open internally threaded first end and a closed second end with an intermediate extent therebetween. The tube portion has a small tube extending orthogonally downward from an interior surface thereof. The small tube is adapted for coupling with a nozzle hole of a spray can. The tube portion has a pressure knob secured to a top portion thereof. The pressure knob has a tube extending within the tube portion to couple with the small tube to release paint from within the spray can. A spray tip portion removably secures to one of the open end portions of the tube portion. An adjustable knob portion secures to an opposing end portion of the tube portion. The adjustment knob regulates the amount of paint through the tip portion.

  • Patent number: 4589234
    Abstract: An apparatus for the deburring or coating removal of workpieces which are subjected to direct heat exchange with a low temperature coolant, e.g. liquid nitrogen, has a transport path extending around a sling wheel to which a granular path medium is supplied via a hollow shaft which is cantilever journaled externally of the treatment chamber. The blast medium is fed to the sling wheel via a nonrotatable tube extending through the hollow shaft so that centrifugal force does not cause free flow media to adhere to the inner walls of the shaft and impede delivery to the sling wheel.

  • Patent number: 4027790
    Abstract: Apparatus for delivering measured quantities of particulate material from a supply to a receiver, such as conveyor tube, with the quantity precisely determined with respect to time. A conveyor belt is utilized, with the belt traveling under a metering nozzle, the metered quantity being determined by the rate of conveyor movement. The conveyor delivers the metered quantity to a receiving scoop from which the particulate material may be deposited in a conveyor tube at the metered rate that it is delivered by the belt.

  • Patent number: 4002274
    Abstract: Feeder mechanism, suitable for use in a high-temperature furnace, comprises a rotatable, height-adjustable flat disc located axially below an outlet of a particulate raw material hopper and above (or within) but mounted on a rotatable funnel. Upon rotation of the disc and funnel, particulate raw material is gravity fed from the hopper onto the disc, then falls off the edge of the disc at a constant rate and is caught by the funnel which transports the raw material to a processing area, e.g. a crystal growing furnace, outside of the high-temperature furnace. A motor-driven, magnetically coupled mechanism for rotating the disc and funnel, and a threaded rod combined with nuts (along with bellows) for adjusting the separation between the disc and the hopper outlet (to control flow rate of the raw material), are provided outside of the space, e.g. high-temperature furnace, in which the combined hopper-disc-funnel are located.
