Oscillating sprinkler
An oscillating sprinkler includes a turbine operatively connected to a movable gear cage that is biased into either a first position or a second position using three torsion springs to drive rotation of a nozzle housing.
ROTARY SPRINKLER RISER EXTENSION KIT
A rotary sprinkler riser extension kit is disclosed for use with a rotary sprinkler. The kit includes an external riser extension having an upper end and lower end, and defining a channel extending through the upper end and lower end. The channel is configured to accommodate the stem of the rotary sprinkler, the upper end is configured to attach to the cap of the rotary sprinkler, and the lower end is configured to attach to the enclosure of the rotary sprinkler. The kit also includes an internal riser extension having a height substantially equal to total length of the external riser extension, a width less than inner width of the enclosure of the rotary sprinkler, means for attaching to the geared lower end of the stem, a lower gear configured to rotate the rotary sprinkler, and means to raise the stem and channel water thereto in response to water pressure at an inlet to the enclosure.
SANITARY SHOWER WITH A PULSATION DISC
A sanitary shower (1), at least comprising: a housing (2) having at least one feed duct (4) for a liquid, opening into a pulsator chamber (3), a spray plate (5) having a great number of outlet nozzles (6) for the liquid, a plurality of chambers (7, 8), each of which is connected to the pulsator chamber (3) via a chamber inlet (9, 10), wherein the liquid can be supplied through each of the chambers (7, 8) to at least one outlet nozzle (6) of the spray plate (5), and a pulsator disk (11) arranged in the pulsator chamber (3) and movable by the liquid in such a way that the pulsator disk (11) can at least partially close at least one of the chamber inlets (9, 10) in an alternating manner.
Sprinkler assembly with button
A sprinkler includes a body defining (a) a passage having an inlet configured to be fluidly coupled to a source of fire suppressant fluid, (b) an outlet fluidly coupled to the passage, and (c) a compression pin aperture extending from an outer surface of the body to the passage and configured to receive a compression pin, a button received within the passage, and a seal engaging the button and the body to fluidly seal the inlet from the outlet. The compression pin aperture is positioned such that the compression pin engages the button to force the button against the seal when the compression pin is inserted into the compression pin aperture.
Fluid flow actuated tool
A fluid flow actuated tool including a housing, a tool and an actuating mechanism. The housing includes a housing interior. The housing interior receives a flow of fluid. The actuating mechanism includes a fluid wheel structure. The fluid wheel structure is connected to the tool. At least a portion of the fluid wheel structure is arranged in the flow of fluid for rotating the fluid wheel structure. The tool is actuated based on rotation of the fluid wheel structure.
Cleaning apparatus including a rotating spray head assembly rotation sensor
A containment tank assembly is described that includes a tank including an inner surface and a cleaning apparatus mounted to the tank. The cleaning apparatus includes an elongate arm and a rotary spray head assembly rotationally coupled to an end of the elongate arm. A rotating nozzle assembly is rotationally coupled to the rotary spray head. A magnetic field source is coupled to the rotary spray head so as to generate a spatially changing magnetic field in accordance with a rotation of the rotary spray head assembly in relation to the end of the elongate arm. A magnet field sensor is carried in a fixed relation to the elongate arm. The magnetic field sensor, in operation, generates a sensor signal that varies in accordance with the spatially changing magnetic field in accordance with the rotation of the rotary spray head assembly.
Showerhead
The present disclosure is related to a showerhead including a housing, a turbine, and a shutter. The housing defines a fluid inlet and a chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet. The chamber includes a plurality of engagement teeth and defines outlets for a first nozzle bank and a second nozzle bank. The turbine is received in the chamber. The shutter is received in the chamber and rotatably coupled to the turbine such that rotation of the turbine causes movement of the shutter. The shutter includes a plurality of shutter teeth positioned around a perimeter of the shutter. Engagement of the shutter teeth and the engagement teeth act to restrict the shutter from rotating while allowing the shutter to move across the chamber in a sliding motion.
