Patent number: 9296139Abstract: Injection-molding nozzles having any one or more of improved heat transfer, wear resistance, and melt transfer from a manifold to a mold. The operation and durability of a nozzle can be improved by integrally layering multiple materials to create a multi-property nozzle that is a unitary, monolithic, and seamless structure. For example, the heat transfer properties of a nozzle is improved by integrally layering certain materials in the nozzle housing such that heat is more effectively dissipated or transferred throughout the nozzle to maintain and promote melt flow. One or more components of the nozzle can be merged and thus seamlessly formed to improve melt flow by reducing joints that would cause the melt to hang up within the nozzle and, concomitantly, reducing manufacturing and assembly time. The process used to unitarily form some or all of the nozzle may also be used to create complex geometric configurations therein.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Husky Injection MOLDING SYSTEMS LTD.Inventors: Patrice Fabien Dezon-Gaillard, Sami Samuel Arsan

Patent number: 5465906Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable injection valves which tear away the fuel stream emerging from at least one injection port and atomize it as finely as possible. One possibility is to force a high velocity component in the radial direction upon the fuel prior to its leaving the injection valve; this is achieved with swirl generators. The novel injection valve has a valve seat face, which in a swirl segment outside a sealing face, is provided with four swirl conduits, which discharge into an injection conduit and terminal port with a lateral offset relative to a longitudinal valve axis. The novel injection valve is especially suitable as an injection valve for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1995Date of Patent: November 14, 1995Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Waldemar Hans

Patent number: 5058810Abstract: The present invention is fuel metering and atomizing valve for an internal combustion engine fuel supply device. The valve comprises a nozzle in which is formed an injection hole having an upstream chamber defining gradually decreasing areas towards the mouth of the injection hole for separating the fuel jet. The present invention provides an injection hole that is easy to machine and which effectively separates the fuel jet issuing from the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 1990Date of Patent: October 22, 1991Assignee: Weber S.r.l.Inventors: Silverio Bonfiglioli, Francesco Morini

Patent number: 4989790Abstract: The nozzle cap, spring valve and body assembly for a trigger sprayer comprises a nozzle cap, a spring valve and a body. The nozzle cap is capable of being screwed upon the nose bushing portion of the body. The nozzle cap has an outlet orifice located in its front face and a sleeve extending rearwardly from a front wall thereof. The sleeve is threaded inside the rear portion thereof and has an internally contoured surface on a short annular formation that is located forwardly of the threads on the back side of the front wall to provide an inner annular surface and an outer annular surface rearward of an inner wall surface of the nozzle cap and forward of the internal threads inside the sleeve. The nose bushing portion of the body has a cavity in which is received the spring valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1989Date of Patent: February 5, 1991Assignee: AFA Products, Inc.Inventors: Douglas S. Martin, Wilhelmus J. J. Maas

Patent number: 4977950Abstract: A molten metal spray-depositing apparatus employs an ejection nozzle for receiving a molten metal stream and having a configuration for confining and imparting mechanically an angular momentum thereto which produces stream break-up into a metal particle spray when the stream becomes unconfined upon exiting the nozzle. There are stationary and rotating versions of the ejection nozzle. The stationary ejection nozzle has a flow channel with internal angular elements, such as spiral grooves, which engage the moving molten metal stream to impart angular momentum thereto as it passes through the channel. The rotating ejection nozzle may have internal elements within the flow channel, such as notches or serrations, which engage the moving molten stream and cause it to rotate with the nozzle as it passes through the channel. The two nozzles can also be combined to impart the angular momentum and accomplish melt stream break-up.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1989Date of Patent: December 18, 1990Assignee: Olin CorporationInventor: George J. Muench

Patent number: 4967964Abstract: An atomizing nozzle is disclosed, which is of simple, inexpensive construction while being capable of highly efficient atomization of liquids. A nozzle case is formed with a cylindrical recess for closely receiving a disc-shaped whirl body and separate nozzle element. The outer wall of the whirl body is formed with a plurality of inclined whirl passages which impart turbulence and whirl to the liquid. The nozzle element has a central, axial discharge passage which communicates with the whirl passages via a peripheral ring duct and a plurality of radial ducts formed on the upstream face of the nozzle member. An acceleration disc is fitted in the recess, on the upstream side of the whirl body. It is formed with a convergent central passage, a peripheral ring duct, and connecting radial ducts, providing for an accelerated flow of fluid to the several whirl ducts. A pressure-deformable regulation bell is placed against the upstream face of the acceleration disc.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 1989Date of Patent: November 6, 1990Assignee: Duna Elelmiszer es Vegyiaru Kereskedelmi VallalatInventor: Viktor Pamper
