Patent number: 6123272Abstract: A nozzle assembly including a nozzle turret rotatably mounted on a body. The body has a face, an outlet in the face, and an annular seat in the face, surrounding the outlet. A relatively non-compressible strut extends from the face of the body, while a relatively non-compressible spacer abuts the face. A compressible sealing member is positioned in the seat and, when not compressed, extends out of the seat and further from the face of the body than the spacer. The turret has a bore rotatably received on the strut, and the turret abuts the spacer. Nozzles are arrayed in the turret such that the nozzles sequentially align with the outlet of the body as the turret is rotated on the strut. A fastener secures the turret to the strut such that the turret compresses the sealing member to provide a fluid-tight seal between the outlet and the nozzle aligned with the outlet. According to one embodiment, the nozzle assembly further includes structure for indexing the rotation of the turret with respect to the body.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1999Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Coltec Industrial Products Inc.Inventors: Todd Brian Havican, Kim C. Reeves

Patent number: 6116473Abstract: An apparatus for applying spray texture to a wall or the like. The apparatus comprises an aerosol can containing pressurized spray texture material. The spray texture material is released from the can by a valve and passes through a nozzle passageway, out of a discharge opening, and on to a surface to be textured. The apparatus further comprises an outlet member that can be placed over the discharge opening to vary the effective cross-sectional area thereof. This outlet member can be in the form of a straw or tube that is inserted into the nozzle passageway or a disc or other member having a plurality of outlet orifices formed therein. The outlet member having a plurality of outlet orifices can be attached directly to an actuator member in which the dispensing passageway is formed.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 1999Date of Patent: September 12, 2000Assignee: Homax Products, Inc.Inventors: Donald J. Stern, James A. Tryon

Patent number: 6113009Abstract: An improved sprinkler adjusting head structure having a spray head with a net like water spray outlet, whole water outlet, and other water pattern outlets. These outlets extended inside the spray head to a connector body with the same number of outlets as those of the spray head. When the spray head is connected with the connector body it has specific position for each outlet. The water outlet of a main body deviates from the center line of the main body and bears against the water inlet in the bottom of the connector. Some of the water pattern outlets in the connector extend toward the spray head are combined with the circulating outlet of the spray head. Also the outlets in the connector are separated into two water outlet chambers by dividers. A concave trough is created in the middle of the several outlets. A water channel connector coordinates the circulating water patterns as well as the connection to the net like water spray, and a whole water outlet.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 1998Date of Patent: September 5, 2000Inventor: I-Shun Chih

Patent number: 6105882Abstract: An orifice plate for a texture material applicator having a number of nozzle orifices of differing diameters. Each nozzle orifice is defined by a nozzle extending normally from the plate in the direction of texture material flow. The length of each nozzle is the sum of the thickness of the plate plus the extent of the nozzle beyond the plate. The total length of each nozzle is proportional to its exit diameter.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 1998Date of Patent: August 22, 2000Assignee: Marshalltown Trowel CompanyInventor: Duane W. Woltjen

Patent number: 6085995Abstract: A rotary drive sprinkler having a multiplicity of nozzles which can be selectively changed at any time. The nozzle assembly has an internal rotor member for bringing one of the nozzles into operation as the internal rotor is turned. A water flow can be directed from a rotor to a selected nozzle in a fixed circumferential row of nozzles to create a nozzle stream leaving the nozzle assembly, or a nozzle stream can be directed from a specific nozzle of a circumferential row of nozzles in an internal rotor to a single passage open to the exterior of the nozzle assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1998Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Inventors: Carl L.

Patent number: 5992762Abstract: A full flow opening structure of gardening-used figure sprinkling head, including a sprinkling gun connected with a figure sprinkling head, the sprinkling head being composed of a figure water discharging cover and a bottom cap watertightly fused with each other by ultrasonic wave. A conic post formed with thread hole being disposed at a center of interior of the sprinkling gun. An inner periphery of the water discharging cover is formed with multiple radially arranged ribs for connecting with a circular screen plate. A full flow opening is defined between the ribs. The exit of each full flow opening is disposed with an inclined flange. The periphery of the screen plate is disposed with a rearward extending annular partitioning board. The partitioning board and the inner wall of the water discharging cover define therebetween a full flow water passage. An inner portion of the screen plate is disposed with several different annularly arranged figure sprinkling holes and two blind faces.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1998Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: Yuan Mei Corp.Inventor: King-Yuan Wang
