Patent number: 8651400Abstract: A variable arc sprinkler nozzle is provided for distribution of water through nearly any adjustable arcuate span. The nozzle includes one or more arcuate slots formed by the helical engagement of spiral surfaces of a deflector and a nozzle body. A user may rotate a portion of the nozzle body to select the arcuate span of the one or more slots. A matched precipitation rate feature is adjustable to proportion the amount of water directed to the deflector depending on the extent of the arcuate span. Further, edge fins on the deflector and nozzle body channel water flow at the two edges of the distribution arc to increase the throw radius and to provide fairly uniform water distribution at the edges of the arc.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2010Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Rain Bird CorporationInventors: Samuel C. Walker, Steven D. Geerligs

Patent number: 7278592Abstract: A processing apparatus for fluid with a simple structure, high productivity, ability of precise dispersion, emulsification and grinding, is provided. The apparatus of the present invention comprises at least two processing faces of a first face and a second face, both of which are arranged in a tight-closed passage and positioned opposite to each other to constitute part of said passage, and a contact pressure applying mechanism for putting both faces 1, 2 into closed contact with each other, wherein the rotation of the second processing face 2 in respect of the first processing face 1 may cause dispersion or emulsification of the fluid to be processed between both processing faces 1, 2.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2006Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: M Technique Co., Ltd.Inventor: Masakazu Enomura

Patent number: 6739524Abstract: The nozzle of the present invention has an internal chamber, condiment input and discharge ports in fluid communication with the internal chamber, and an extension downstream of the condiment discharge port. Preferably, the internal chamber has a flow disrupter taking the form of a funnel-shaped end portion adjacent to the condiment discharge port. The internal chamber is preferably elongated and has a larger cross section than the spout to which the nozzle is connected to reduce condiment pressure and flow speed entering the nozzle. Condiment pressure can also be reduced in the internal chamber by other types of flow disrupters: protrusions extending from the internal chamber walls into the condiment flow and/or by an insert received within the internal chamber. At the funnel-shaped end portion, condiment flow adjacent to the internal chamber side walls is preferably diverted toward the discharge port to generate crossflow and turbulence, further reducing condiment pressure and force.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2002Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Shurflo Pump Manufacturing Company, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J. Taylor-McCune, Steven T. Jersey

Patent number: 4327867Abstract: A sink rinsing device including an accelerating nozzle attached by a flexible stem to a fitting which fits onto a sink faucet above the aerator thereof. When not in use, the stem and nozzle lie flat against the underside of the faucet, out of the path of the water emerging from the faucet. When it is desired to rinse the sink, the stem is bent to bring the nozzle underneath the aerator of the faucet. The nozzle is removably fastenable to the fitting to secure the device in this position. Water emerging from the aerator of the faucet can now enter the inlet side of the nozzle, which directs a forceful stream of water against the sides of the sink. The fitting allows the nozzle to be rotated 360 degrees.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1979Date of Patent: May 4, 1982Assignee: William E. JonesInventors: William E. Jones, Lynn R. Bowers
