A dispensing system includes a mobile dispensing device, a fluid transport device, and a fluid supply module. The mobile dispensing device includes a dispensing mechanism carried by a first frame including a first track portion. The fluid transport device includes a second frame supported by at least one wheel for rolling movement of the second frame on the substrate, with the second frame including a second track portion. The fluid supply module includes a base member and at least one reservoir carried by the base member and connectable with the dispensing mechanism for dispensing a fluid stored in the at least one reservoir. The base member includes a third track portion selectively engageable with either one of the first and second track portions for releasable assembly of the fluid supply module with the corresponding one of the mobile dispensing device and the fluid transport device.

Apparatus, systems and methods for applying fluidized materials to surfaces are encompassed by the present disclosure. The apparatus and systems can include a movable carriage supporting an applicator mount assembly that receives a fluidized material applicator for applying a fluidized material to a surface. The applicator system can move a fluidized material applicator in a reciprocating cycle along a horizontal path and allow for the pivotal rotation of the fluidized material applicator about a vertical axis while the applicator is applying a fluidized material to a surface. An accessory applicator system also is provided that can be used in conjunction with or separate and apart from the applicator system and can be used to apply a fluidized material to a surface via a roller, brush or similar non-spray applicator. The apparatus and systems encompassed by the present disclosure can be operated remotely away from the surface to which a fluidized material is applied.

An anchoring device for a self-propelled irrigation system includes a drive assembly that drives a soil auger into the ground to anchor a drive tower of the irrigation system. The soil auger is rotatably driven about a vertical axis and movable vertically relative to the drive tower. The soil auger includes a lower tip, a multi-sided head at an upper end, and a helical screw portion between the lower tip and the upper end. The drive assembly includes a sleeve member with an inner surface that mates with the head of the soil auger and allows the soil auger to slide within the sleeve member while rotating together with the sleeve member. A bit cleaner assembly is arranged to engage the helical screw portion of the soil auger to clean soil from the auger and to cause the auger to move vertically relative to the sleeve member upon rotation.

A sprinkler irrigation stand includes a base and a clamp. The clamp is pivotally coupled at a first end to a first lateral side of the base and has a non-deployed state and a deployed state. In the non-deployed state, the clamp is not attached at its other second end to the base and in the deployed state the clamp is attached at its other second end to a second opposing lateral side of the base. The base also includes a depression that extends along a longitudinal extension of the base that is orthogonal to its lateral extension.

A nozzle module includes a base portion; a nozzle portion disposed on the base portion, and including a first body, and a nozzle portion reciprocating in a first movement direction; and a vessel unit disposed to face the nozzle portion, and including a second body reciprocating in a second movement direction, and an accommodation portion concavely formed inwardly from an upper surface of the second body.

A slot die coater planarizing an upper surface of an encapsulation layer and a coating method using the same. The slot die coater includes a slit nozzle configured to supply a coating solution. The slit nozzle includes a hole vertically penetrating a center portion thereof, a first bottom surface disposed at a movement direction side of the slit nozzle with reference to the hole, and a second bottom surface disposed at an opposite direction side of the movement direction of the slit nozzle with reference to the hole. A width of the first bottom surface is different from the width of the second bottom surface.

A liquid dispensing apparatus (1) includes a liquid contact member (2) that has measuring bores (11, 11). A first piston (3) slides in the first measuring bore (11) and a second piston (3) sliding in the second measuring bore (11). A supply channel (5) communicates with a storage unit (17). An ejection channel (6) communicates with a nozzle (18). A switching valve (4) is disposed in a space in the liquid contact member (2), and that has a first position and a second position. A valve driving mechanism (8) operates the switching valve (4). A piston driving mechanism (9) operates an arm (19) connected to the first and second pistons. The first and second measuring bores are arranged to oppose to each other on both sides of the switching valve (4), and the supply channel (5) and the ejection channel (6) are arranged adjacent to the switching valve.
