  • Patent number: 5358179
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to improved atomization systems for comparatively higher viscosity liquid products. More particularly, the present invention provides an improved product delivery system which combines a pre-compression type pump mechanism with a nozzle having two or more orifices configured to discharge corresponding jets or streams of the product which impinge upon one another to provide a finely dispersed spray. The pre-compression pump mechanism ensures that the product will only be delivered when sufficient pressure is available for atomization. Regardless of the speed or authority with which the pump mechanism is actuated, pressure within the pump will accumulate without product discharge until a lower pressure threshold is reached, at which time a valve opens to permit product discharge with sufficient pressure for atomization. When the fluid streams impinge upon one another, the fluid is broken up into a finely dispersed mist which may then be directed toward the surface to be coated.

  • Patent number: 5340570
    Abstract: By incorporating an alkyl polyol and a water soluble or emulsifiable silicone based compound into a moderately viscous gel-type hair conditioning composition, a hair conditioning gel formulation is attained which is able to be delivered in a spray mist pattern using conventional small diametered pump spray nozzles. Preferably, the alkyl polyol has a carbon content ranging between 2 and 8, and the hydroxyl ion content ranges between 2 and 7 and are not spaced apart by more than 4 carbon atoms. It has been found that by employing this invention, the resulting gel formulation is able to be dispensed consistently, repeatedly and easily in a liquified spray mist through a pump nozzle having apertures ranging between about 0.010 and 0.030 mm.

  • Patent number: 5275338
    Abstract: A device is used for spraying and atomizing a liquid which is held in a container which can be emptied by air pressure. If in a device of this kind a liquid nozzle projects into a mixture nozzle disposed coaxially in front of it, so that an annular space provided for air around the liquid nozzle is open at the front towards the mixture nozzle, the feed paths for liquid and for air must not be transposed. Such transposition occurs if the container is held upside-down during spraying. In order to avoid this disadvantage two annular spaces are provided, from which passages lead to a mixture nozzle. The two annular spaces communicate with one another via throttle slots. Because of the two annular spaces the liquid can also be sprayed when the container is upsidedown.

  • Patent number: 5152463
    Abstract: A spray nozzle designed to produce a spray or mist containing a high concentration of bubbles. Such a spray is particularly useful in mixing liquid fuel and air for burning within a combustion chamber, as for example in a gas turbine engine. The novel design includes a pair of swirl chambers generally axially aligned within the nozzle. Fuel or other liquid enters the first or forward swirl chamber in a generally tangential and laminar flow pattern, passes into the second or rearward chamber through an interconnecting orifice. Violent liquid and air mixing occurs in the second chamber and the mixture is then expelled as an aerated spray through the interconnecting orifice, the first chamber and a discharge orifice.

  • Patent number: 4394973
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve is proposed for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, which serves to supply fuel into the intake tube of the engine. The injection valve includes a movable valve element which cooperates with a fixed valve seat, downstream of which are provided horizontal fuel guidance bores which discharge tangentially into a spin chamber. The spin chamber is disposed so that it widens conically in the flow direction. The fuel guidance bores simultaneously serve as metering bores. The spin chamber causes an axial speed component to be imparted to the fuel entering via the fuel guidance bores. As a result, the dwell time of the metered fuel within the spin chamber is short, and even in the case of quite short injection pulses, the fuel is still sufficiently well prepared.
