Self-contained hand-held direct drive device for dispensing a two-part adhesive aerosol

Номер: US20120000993A1
Автор: Donald H. Brunk, William Gerald Dimaio, Jr.
Принадлежит: EI Du Pont de Nemours and Co

A self-contained, hand-held spray dispensing device includes an internal source of pressurized fluid that exerts a motive force on a pair of liquid ejecting elements to cause each to eject a liquid into a discharge line. The liquids remain separated until each exits its discharge port. A pressurized fluid is directed over the outlet ends of the discharge line beginning before a flow interrupter in the discharge line is opened to permit flow therethrough and ceasing after liquid flow is terminated. The pressurized fluid flow over the outlet of the discharge line aerosolizes liquids emanating from the outlet ends. Each liquid ejecting element takes the form of a piston disposed within a cylinder. The pistons responds to pressurized fluid imposed directly thereon from the source to generate the motive force on the ejecting element.

Liquid delivery system

Номер: US20120168531A1
Автор: John R. Newton, Michael E. Cheney, Peter J. Brooke
Принадлежит: Global Agricultural Technology and Engineering LLC

A liquid delivery system comprises a tank containing a supply of a first liquid. A positive displacement pump operates to withdraw the first liquid from the tank via a suction conduit and to deliver a pressurized flow of the first liquid via a delivery conduit. An adjustable metering orifice in the delivery conduit serves to control the flow of the first liquid through the delivery conduit. A normally closed first valve located in the delivery conduit between the pump and the metering orifice is opened in response to a pressure of the first liquid exceeding a threshold level, and is operative when open to deliver the first liquid to the metering orifice at a substantially constant pressure. A bypass conduit communicates with the tank and with the delivery conduit at a location between the pump and the first valve. A second valve in the bypass conduit is adjustable to accommodate a controlled return flow of the first liquid from the delivery conduit to the tank, thereby modulating the pressure of the first liquid being delivered to the first valve.

The inventive concept is directed to a caulking gun which has been extended for a considerable length. This extending of the length enables an impaired person to reach areas that need to be caulked. It also enables a person to reach remote areas that only can be reached by a ladder but the person cannot negotiate a ladder. The extension of the basic caulking gun is achieved by placing longitudinal rods between the trigger mechanism and the forward end where the caulking cartridge is normally located. It is important that rods are being used to keep the weight of the gun on a reasonable level. The rods have spaced apart rings in the longitudinal direction to stabilize the rods. At the trigger end of the caulking gun there is located a handle that can be changed in location to accommodate left- and -right handed persons.

The measuring unit 13 is provided with a light transmitting member 13 a and an optical sensor 13 b that are provided at the central region on the inner wall of the other end portion 11 b. When particles are subjected to a coating treatment, information as to the properties (such as the coating thickness, the moisture, the coating performance, and the impurity) of the particles of a particle layer A being brought into contact with the surface of the light transmitting member 13 a is measured on a real-time basis by the NIR sensor 13 b via the light transmitting member 13 a. The data is processed by the processing unit of the NRI spectroscopic analyzer to thereby perform monitoring. By appropriately adjusting the coating operation conditions (such as the supplied air volume, the supplied air temperature, the spraying condition, and the rotation speed of the rotary drum 1 ) by feedback control or a manual operation according to the result, it becomes possible to perform the coating treatment of high quality.

Device and method for dispensing a liquid product that is to be sprayed onto a surface

Номер: US20130153676A1
Автор: Patrick Jean Marie Ballu
Принадлежит: EXEL INDUSTRIES SA

The device according to the invention comprises a bar that includes several consecutive ducts with at least one inlet connected to a source of the liquid product and outlets communicating with nozzles. The device further comprises several sensors for measuring a physical property making it possible to determine a pressure difference between ducts or a pressure in one respective duct, several members designed to vary the pressures inside respective ducts, as well as at least one control unit estimating the pressure differences between ducts and driving the members to reduce those pressure differences or equalize those pressures. This device thus limits the pressure differences, and therefore flow differences, of the liquid product between the nozzles, in particular between the ends of very long bars moving over significant bankings.

Автор: Brooke Peter J., Cheney Michael E., Newton John R.
Принадлежит: Global Agricultural Technology and Engineering, LLC

A liquid delivery system comprises a tank containing a supply of liquid. A positive displacement pump operates to withdraw the liquid from the tank via a suction conduit and to deliver a pressurized flow of the liquid via a delivery conduit. A metering orifice in the delivery conduit serves to modulate the flow of the liquid through the delivery conduit. A normally closed first valve located in the delivery conduit between the pump and the metering orifice is opened in response to a pressure of the liquid exceeding a threshold level, and is operative when open to deliver the liquid to the metering orifice at a substantially constant pressure. A bypass conduit communicates with the tank and with the delivery conduit at a location between the pump and the first valve. A flow restrictor in the bypass conduit serves to modulate a return flow of the liquid from the delivery conduit to the tank, thereby modulating the pressure of the liquid being delivered to the first valve. 1.

Spray device having a parabolic flow surface

Номер: US20140091156A1
Автор: David M. Seitz, Roger T. Cedoz
Принадлежит: Finishing Brands Holdings Inc

A rotary atomizer spray coating device, in certain embodiments, has a bell cup with a generally parabolic flow surface. This generally parabolic flow surface provides additional surface area for dehydration of coating fluids, thereby improving color matching as compared to traditional bell cups, for example, by affording capability for higher wet solids content. In addition, the coating fluid accelerates along the generally parabolic flow surface, resulting in the fluid leaving the bell cup at a greater velocity than in traditional bell cups. Furthermore, a splash plate disposed adjacent the bell cup, in certain embodiments, is designed such that fluid accelerates through an annular area between the splash plate and the generally parabolic flow surface. This acceleration may substantially reduce or eliminate low-pressure cavities in which fluid and/or particulate matter may be trapped, resulting in an even application of coating fluid and more effective cleaning of the bell cup as compared with traditional bell cups.
