Patent number: 11166616Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a washing container, and a spray facility arranged within the washing container for spraying washing liquor and/or fresh water in the washing container. The spray facility includes a cage, a gyro element rotatably supported in the cage, and a supply line having a nozzle for supplying the washing liquor and/or fresh water to the gyro element. The gyro element is arranged in its entirety above the nozzle in relation to a direction of gravity in an operating position which the gyro element assumes when washing liquor and/or fresh water is supplied to the gyro element.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: BSH Hausgeräte GmbHInventors: Bernd Eisenbart, Michael Lugert, Werner Oblinger, Bernd Heisele, Anton Oblinger

Patent number: 8960568Abstract: The present invention provides a brush wheel typed nebulizer, comprising: a drive device; a spiral pump, including a body, an outer sleeve, in which the outer periphery of the body is installed with at least a helicoid member closely attached to an inner sleeve having a flow opening inside the outer sleeve; a brush wheel, configured with multiple implant holes and having brush hairs forming at least a ditch; a sleeve lid, on which a notch is configured in correspondence with the end of the brush hair, and an inner bulge acting conjunctively with the end of the brush hair and having multiple guide grooves. With such a design, it is possible to fling off the highly viscous liquid attached on the brush hair to create atomized liquid of extremely tiny microdrops.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2013Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Inventors: Wen-Pin Chen, Chiu-Yueh Tung

Patent number: 6896200Abstract: A hand-held device for applying a layer of fluid droplets on a target or subject is provided. The device includes a housing with a fluid reservoir. The device further includes an inlet port in the housing for receiving pressurized fluid. A rotatable brush roll in the housing includes a plurality of bristles. The brush roll is configured for rotation along an axis positioned to have a selected spatial relationship relative to an exit window in the housing. A conduit for delivering the pressurized fluid to the bristles in the brush roll is provided. At least one flipper element is positioned to contact the tips of the bristles extending over a corresponding section of the rotatable roll so that fluid collected therein is propelled through the exit window in the housing with a pattern at least in part based on the selected spatial relationship between the rotation axis of the brush roll and the exit window. An outlet port is provided for draining fluid that accumulates in the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2001Date of Patent: May 24, 2005Inventor: David O. Dobson

Patent number: 6845921Abstract: A shower head contains a jet outlet element, which is pivotably mounted in the shower head. It is moved by a mechanism in such a way that a guide journal remote from the outlet opening is moved along two closed, touching circles. At the point where the two circles touch, the guide journal can be moved from one circle into the other with the aid of a transfer device.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2001Date of Patent: January 25, 2005Assignee: Hansgrohe AGInventor: Franz Schorn

Patent number: 5346132Abstract: A device for generating a spray of mist or fine droplets includes a spinning rotor within a mist chamber. The rotor has inner walls which taper conically outwardly from the open bottom of the rotor to a hole near the top of the rotor. Liquid is pumped by a finger actuated pump from a cartridge module into a bowl surrounding the bottom end of the rotor. A spray is created as the liquid is formed into droplets as it passes through the hole in the rotor under centrifugal force. A directional light source is used for aiming the spray.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 1992Date of Patent: September 13, 1994Assignee: Gary S. HahnInventors: Gary S. Hahn, David R. Williams

Patent number: 4358413Abstract: The invention provides an aerator device for dispensing liquid in a gas phase by producing an upwardly-directed spray of the liquid from a tank. The device, which is intended to be submerged in a tank, comprises a motor-pump unit in the vicinity of the tank floor and a primary flared tube and a secondary flared tube coaxial therewith. The secondary flared tube is connected to a delivery nozzle by an intermediate duct, and the delivery nozzle is surmounted by an adjustable needle. The buoyancy of the whole assembly is ensured by a set of variably ballasted buoys which pivot at the end of support arms, and by an upper buoy concentric with the nozzle.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 1981Date of Patent: November 9, 1982Inventor: Christian Brucker

Patent number: 4299601Abstract: An apparatus for filtering, washing and cooling gases, wherein gas is forced through a foraminous wall extending across a chamber and water is sprayed across the chamber on the upstream side of the wall to filter, wash and cool the gas, employs as the water sprayer a rotating disc bearing projections which scoop up relatively large amounts of liquid and cast it against an atomizing member. The impact of the liquid on the atomizing member breaks the liquid into small droplets and produces a uniform spray.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1980Date of Patent: November 10, 1981Assignee: Bessam Manufacturing, Inc.Inventor: Hugo Schlachet

Patent number: 4001077Abstract: An evaporation accelerator has a base with a housing rotatably affixed thereto and float means adjustably affixed thereto to float the accelerator in an evaporatable fluid. Air-operated propulsion means which receives compressed air from air supply means is connected to the housing to rotate it. Support members are also secured to the housing and extend generally radially away from the housing. Scoop means are secured to the support members and have a first end positioned in the fluid and a second end positioned above the surface of the fluid so that as the housing rotates fluid is scooped up and ejected over the surface of the fluid.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1976Date of Patent: January 4, 1977Inventor: Orville Kemper

Patent number: 3998389Abstract: A pressure nozzle produces a liquid-spray-chimney in the form of an inverted, substantially frusto-conical configuration from the surface of a parent body of liquid such as a pond, channel, and the like. A mechanically generated draft of gas is produced within the liquid-spray-chimney by power driven fan means having an exhaust outlet positioned within the frusto-conical spray trajectory configuration. The spray droplets in the liquid-spray-chimney are of a size sufficiently large to reduce entrainment of the droplets in the forced-draft of gas.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1975Date of Patent: December 21, 1976Assignee: Richards of RockfordInventors: Clark B. Rose, Richard B. Kelley
