Patent number: 11148252Abstract: A cleaning system that utilizes a dispensing head to spray carbon dioxide and a propellant against a surface. The carbon dioxide being propelled includes solid phase crystals. A supply line is used to feed the carbon dioxide to a dispensing head. Within the dispensing head, a first manifold chamber receives the carbon dioxide. A plurality of pathways link the first manifold chamber to a plurality of output nozzles.

Patent number: 8322633Abstract: A nozzle assembly for encapsulating a gaseous solution in bubbles comprises a discharge tube having a diffuser and a foam solution spray nozzle mounted therein. The discharge tube has upstream and downstream ends. The discharge tube has a front face at the upstream end with a first opening configured to be joined to a gas supply line that provides a gaseous solution and a second opening configured to receive a non-expanded foam solution. The downstream end of the discharge tube is open. A chamber is formed within the discharge tube to receive the gaseous solution at the upstream end and release the gaseous solution through the diffuser into the discharge tube towards the downstream end.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2006Date of Patent: December 4, 2012Assignee: Tyco Fire Products LPInventors: Mitchell J. Hubert, Stephen A. Barker, Donald Bjorkman, Gregory R. Walker

Patent number: 8286893Abstract: A fuel injector (10) has a housing (12) with a central longitudinal axis (L) having a fluid inlet portion (18) being adapted to be coupled to a fuel rail at a first axial end area (20). The housing (12) has a recess (24) and enables a fluid flow through a fluid outlet portion (26) at a second axial end area (28) facing away from the first axial end area (20). The fluid inlet portion (18) communicates with the fluid outlet portion (26) via the recess (24). Furthermore, the fuel injector (10) has a safety component (30), which is arranged at the central longitudinal axis (L) within the recess (24) and adapted to reduce and arranged for reducing a velocity regarding the central longitudinal axis (L) at the fluid inlet portion (18) of the fluid flowing from the recess (24) through the fluid inlet portion (18).Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Antonio Agresta, Gianbattista Fischetti, Luigi Gargiulo, Marco Mechi

Patent number: 8234872Abstract: A system includes an air flow conditioner configured to mount in an air chamber separated from a combustion chamber of a turbine combustor. The air flow conditioner comprises a perforated annular wall configured to direct an air flow in both an axial direction and a radial direction relative to an axis of the turbine combustor. In addition, the air flow conditioner is configured to uniformly supply the air flow into air inlets of one or more fuel nozzles.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2009Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: General Electric CompanyInventors: Jonathan Dwight Berry, Jason Thurman Stewart

Patent number: 8205810Abstract: A sanitary water outlet (1) having a conduit (4) at the discharge end. The conduit (4) is provided with at least one perforated plate (5) and/or a grid structure or lamellar structure with a number of discharge holes or discharge openings (7) which are bordered by flow guide walls (6). The water outlet is characterized in that it has a joint sleeve (2) which is adjustably or pivotally disposed in a socket (3) while the conduit (4) is provided inside the joint sleeve (2). The water outlet allows the water jet that is discharged from a water discharging plumbing fixture to be oriented as needed without requiring a ball-and-socket joint which uses a lot of space and may not be aesthetically appealing.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2006Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Neoperl GmbHInventors: Wolf-Dieter Lacher, Oliver Denzler, Alexander Stein

Patent number: 8109451Abstract: There is described a shower spray device including a lower plate with a plurality of nozzles and an upper plate with an inlet for the water supply. An elastic sealing element is interposed between the two plates to delimit therewith a chamber for distributing water to the nozzles. To maintain the correct pressure of the two plates, clamping screws are used also having the function of delivery nozzles, i.e. screws formed by threaded pins having an axial duct, with an outlet open towards the outside to allow water delivery, and at least one transverse duct to place the distribution chamber in fluid communication with the axial duct for water delivery.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2009Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Ergon S.r.l.Inventor: Giovanni Maria Mazzola

Patent number: 8100348Abstract: A device for generating microspheres from a fluid includes an injection plate with at least one defined injection channel having on an inlet side an inflow opening for receiving the fluid and on an outlet side an outflow opening for delivering microspheres formed from the fluid. The device includes feed elements for carrying fluid through the injection channel and is in open communication, on a side wall thereof, with at least one secondary channel at least at the position of a break-up point where at least during operation a flow of fluid in the injection channel breaks up into separate parts. The secondary channel includes in use an auxiliary fluid at least at the position of a break-up point.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2005Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Nanomi B.V.Inventors: Jeroen Wissink, Cornelis Johannes Maria Van Rijn, Wietze Nijdam, Christiaan Haldir Goeting, Iwan Rutger Heskamp, Gerrit Jan Veldhuis

Patent number: 8074902Abstract: A nozzle for dispensing a random pattern of liquid adhesive filaments generally comprises an adhesive shim plate positioned between first and second air shim plates. The first air shim plate includes air slots configured to direct pressurized process air along a first angle relative to the adhesive shim plate, and the second air shim plate includes air slots configured to direct pressurized process air along a second angle relative to the adhesive shim plate. The first angle is different than the second angle so that the first and second air shim plates direct the pressurized process air asymmetrically toward adhesive filaments discharging from liquid slots in the adhesive shim plate.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Nordson CorporationInventors: Thomas Burmester, Hubert Kufner

Patent number: 7878418Abstract: An atomizer provides a control of duty cycle or a motor driving a diaphragm pump. By providing precise, high-speed flow through an eductor nozzle, improved atomization occurs. However, to control the total volume of atomized liquid discharged, the delay time between operational time periods may also be controlled. Thus, a very effective atomizer provides economical use of essential oils by control duty cycle. Precision modeling provides highly integrated subsystems providing superior performance and reliability.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2008Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Inventor: Early Vaughn Sevy
