The discharge orifice on a fine mist sprayer has a hole through which streams of liquid particles are swirled at high speeds so as to fully atomize the liquid by the time it reaches the exit end of the hole. At that location an annular launching surface for the liquid particles flares outwardly from the hole wall through a curve extending at least 90.degree. from a tangent point on the wall. As a result of this construction, the swirling streams progressively increase in diameter as they approac...

A snow making apparatus and method utilizing water and compressed air, wherein the water is atomized by hydraulic pressure and discharged as a hollow, conical spray. The high pressure gas is ejected through the same water exit nozzle along the axis of the hollow, conical spray and cooled sufficiently to form ice nuclei which interact with the supercooled water droplets in the water spray to thereby form snow.

A gas-atomizing nozzle composed of a truncated cone-shaped main body having semi-spiral grooves formed symmetrically on the tapered surface of the truncated cone body and a conical cover or sleeve covering the grooved surface for providing semi-spiral passageways of gas, said truncated cone body having at the center a passageway for a liquid to be atomized and said semi-spiral grooves having such configuration that the liquid discharged through the liquid passageway is finely atomized at the foc...

An improved oiler includes a manually operated pump mechanism retained within the oiler container for pumping low viscosity oil and similar low viscosity fluids through a spout of the oiler for discharge by an adjustable spray nozzle. The nozzle is comprised of four separate interengaging parts including a compression fitting which contains a nozzle disc and a channel member. By rotating the compression fitting, physical separation of the disc and channel member is controlled and the pattern of ...

An insert is shown for a solid cone type spray nozzle as well as a method of making the insert. The insert has a central planar web having a rounded lower edge portion and a pair of obliquely oppositely disposed vanes located perpendicular to the web. The vanes have distal portions extending past the plane of the web and have recesses located adjacent to the distal portions to produce the required turbulent and swirling fluid motion inside the spray nozzle. The inserts are produced from bar stoc...

A nozzle device has a hollow main body, a rotor, and a hollow nozzle cover. The hollow main body has an opening, a hollow chamber communicating with the opening, and a through hole communicating with the hollow chamber. The rotor has a taper first end and a plurality of guide recesses formed on a second end of the rotor. The hollow nozzle cover has a center aperture, a guide groove communicating with the center aperture, and an enlarged groove communicating with the guide groove. The rotor is in...

A ceramic metal halide arc tube is surrounded by a protective neodymium sleeve supported by a metal frame. As a result of the neodymium sleeve, the lamp is observed to have improved transmission of red color and to exhibit a CRI of at least about 90.

A jet nozzle assembly including a socket to hold a nozzle plate having a jet nozzle, a stepped barrel fastened to the socket to hold a hollow shaft having a front cup, a coupling coupled to a water supply pipe, a connector connected between the hollow shaft and the coupling to guide water from the water supply pipe through a water passage on the hollow shaft, permitting water to be further driven out of the jet nozzle of the nozzle plate through spiral grooves on the front cup of the hollow shaf...

Apparatus for producing handled bags includes a web dispenser; a perforator for creating perforated seams transversely across the web at predetermined intervals to generate a succession of adjacent web sections; means for attaching at least one handle to each web section; a tube forming mechanism for configuring the web into a tubular configuration; a separating device for breaking the perforated seams to separate the adjacent web sections without disturbing the handles; and a bottom forming mec...

The present invention pertains to improved manually operated atomization systems which combine atomizing nozzles with high pressure, pre-compression type pump mechanisms in order to provide a consistent, high quality, finely-atomized spray of a comparatively higher viscosity fluid. 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. ...
