Abstract: In a spray nozzle including a nozzle structure having an internal chamber and an injecting hole provided through the nozzle structure at an outer end thereof, a control rod is provided in the internal chamber so that the outer end of the control rod projects outwardly through said injecting hole. A planar disc-shaped member is secured to the inner end of the control rod for defining a movable range in the axial direction of the same rod. A spring member is provided around the same rod for urging the rod inwardly, and a nozzle-tip member is secured to the outer end of the control rod for closing the injecting hole from outside. An apparatus utilizing the spray nozzle is further disclosed.
Abstract: An aerosol inhalation device comprising an elongated chamber, an outer chamber part of which has an outlet opening and is telescopically displaceable over an inner chamber part which is connectable to an aerosol dispenser and provided with a flexible tongue which on telescoping the device together closes the outlet opening.

Abstract: A conically shaped probe or forward portion on an air nozzle having a rearwardly extending hollow externally threaded portion providing an air flow duct. A supply of pressured air in communication with said air flow duct and having circumferentially spaced apart air outlets permitting air to flow from said air flow duct to an air flow gap and along the conical exterior surface of the probe, the COANDA effect functioning on this flow of air along the probe. A rotatable internally threaded collar is threadedly mounted on said hollow externally threaded portion of the probe and extends forwardly over and spaced from the plurality of air outlets and directing the flow of air through said gap to the external surface of the conical portion of the probe. The dimensions of the air flow gap may be varied by turning the collar to move it toward the conical portion of the probe or away therefrom.
Abstract: Pipes, coated with paraffin, scale or otherwise, are cleaned by internally spraying the pipe with a conic sheet of paraffin solvent or scale remover or other fluid. The reaction of the discharge of the sheet of fluid is the propelling force for advancing the nozzle through the opening. An axial jet of fluid clears the tube in front of the nozzle so that the nozzle can advance through the tube. The conic sheet is formed by a pair of sleeves around a mandrel, the sleeves meeting with correlative conic surfaces.
Abstract: A hydraulic installation includes a gate valve and an injector rectilinearly mounted in series in a water inlet conduit which feeds a turbine. The injector includes a central body portion in which first and second servo-motors are housed. The first servo-motor controls the tip of the injector and the second servo-motor controls the movement of the plug of the gate valve. A single crosspiece secures the injector to an outer annular casing and also absorbs hydraulic forces otherwise exerted on the gate valve and the injector.
Abstract: Apparatus for controlling the spraying of water or other fluid from a tank truck or other reservoir. A plurality of valves may be turned on with a single pump and individually turned off as desired during spraying operations, by the application of air pressure to control lines leading to the individual valves. The spray valves are individually adjustable for control of the flow rate, direction and pattern of spraying, and are so constructed as to minimize malfunctions from jamming of the valve mechanism experienced with other valves while spraying in a sandy environment.
Abstract: An apparatus for treating bulk material such as hot coke or coal by supplying a treating gas thereto includes a container in which the bulk material is situated during treatment thereof. A gas distributor extends into the interior of this container and includes a plurality of coaxial elongated pipes which have open ends in the interior of the container, an elongated bar extending coaxially along the innermost one of said pipes and also having a free end situated in the interior of the container. The ends of the several pipes which are in the container are open and are enlarged while the inner free end of the bar in the container is also enlarged, and a moving structure is operatively connected with at least one of the pipes as well as the bar for axially moving the same relative to each other so as to adjust the positions of the free end of the bar and the open ends of the pipes with respect to each other.
Abstract: A variable flow diffuser for use in air cushion vehicles to convert the ktic energy of the moving air from the main fan into potential energy of air pressure. The conversion is accomplished by passing the air flow from the fan through a flow splitter and diverting it radially outward in all directions along a plane perpendicular to the initial direction of the air flow. The volume of air passing through the diffuser is controlled by placing control vanes around the flow splitter or by moving the flow splitter and a back plate in and out of the air channel.

Abstract: A tip seal dispenser valve for a pressurized container of a viscous product comprises a valve body, mountable with the container, which includes a hollow valve conduit that defines an outlet orifice and is in fluid communication with the interior of the container. The valve body also includes a hollow actuator channel laterally displaced from the valve conduit. A valve core, formed with a sealing tip, is mounted for axial reciprocal movement in the conduit between a closed position with the tip blocking the outlet orifice and an open position with the tip withdrawn inwardly from the orifice. A fin arrangement guides the core for proper movement in the conduit so that the tip correctly seats in the outlet orifice when closed. The valve core is operated by an actuator button, mounted for axial reciprocal movement in the actuator channel, that is linked to the core so that movement of one causes movement of the other. Further, a seal is associated with the actuator button and channel to prevent leakage thereby.
Abstract: An improved fluid spray head for sprinkler apparatus is disclosed adjustable both as to the flow rate of fluid to the discharge orifices and the precipation rate over the ground area sprayed, and particularly adapted to spray a specifically shaped non-circular area. The spray head has a plurality of circumferentially-spaced discharge orifices having cross-sectional areas equally proportional to the square of the distance that their respective spray streams are desired to travel whereby the perimeter of the ground area sprayed defines the preselected shape and receives a substantially uniform coverage of fluid.
Abstract: A shower for use in fabric conditioning in paper making utilizing a two position nozzle. One position being a spray position and in which the nozzle is maintained in this position by normal liquid pressure in the spray pipe and a second position which is a purging position and in which the nozzle is maintained in this position by application of air pressure.
