A cleaning device for selectively applying a first medium to a surface includes a high pressure reservoir configured to store the first medium held under a storage pressure, a pulse nozzle configured to apply the first medium under the storage pressure in a pulsed manner to the surface, and a switching valve that includes a nozzle port and a high pressure reservoir port for selectively establishing a first connection between the high pressure reservoir and the pulse nozzle, and a feed port for establishing a second connection between the high pressure reservoir and a first medium source. The high pressure reservoir and the switching valve are structurally integrated in a reservoir valve module. The switching valve comprises a solenoid valve to switch between the first and the second connection when the high pressure reservoir port is under the storage pressure.

A water jet device for recreational purposes, in particular a fountain, having: a jet head with at least one water infeed opening and at least one set of water outlet nozzles, the nozzles being arranged in a same plane and on a peripheral line of the jet head, the nozzles including respective outlets oriented towards the outside of the jet head, a water flow regulator supplying the nozzles to produce a water velocity defining a water jet, exiting each nozzle, having a selected substantially parabolic-shaped path, the water jets exiting the nozzles forming at least one dome portion, and at least one water supply column made of a rigid material and including an inlet connected to a water infeed and a water outlet connected to the opening of the jet head and mechanically integral thereto, the supply column having the selected parabolic shape to blend with the dome portion.

A liquid spraying system having an electrically operated pulse width modulation control for directing a modulated liquid discharge based upon frequency and duty cycle of a reciprocally operated liquid control valve. The spray nozzle assembly includes a nozzle body having an inwardly converging conical chamber communicating between an upstream liquid directing plate and a downstream liquid discharge passage. The liquid directing plate is formed with a one or more rings of circumferentially spaced liquid directing passages angularly oriented with respect to a central liquid flow axis of the nozzle body for directing liquid discharging from said nozzle body discharge passage into a predetermined conical spray pattern.

A control valve in an intermittent air-generating device has a five-port valve, the inlet port of which is connected to a fluid supply source and the outlet port is connected to an air-spraying device. As a result of pilot air being supplied to a pilot input port, a valve element moves, and as a result of the inlet port and the outlet port being put in an ON state in which the two are in communication with each other, compressed air is sprayed from the air-spraying device. Meanwhile, as a result of the pilot air being discharged from the pilot input port by way of a discharge port, the valve element moves in the opposite direction and the inlet port and the outlet port are put in an OFF state in which the state of communication between the two is blocked. The ON state and OFF state alternate intermittently.
