Garden watering device
A garden watering device is configured for use in handheld and ground-based operation. The garden watering device includes a device body having a water inlet and a handle. The garden watering device also includes at least one water distribution member adapted to spray in multiple patterns. In one example, the at least one water distribution member includes an elongate tube with a series of discharge outlets and a multi-pattern head with at least one flow outlet. The garden watering device also includes a flow route selector that routes water to either the elongate tube or the multi-pattern head.
Rapid changeover slot die assembly for a fluid application device
A fluid application device having an applicator head, a slot die assembly and a securing mechanism for securing the slot die assembly to the applicator head is provided. The slot die assembly includes a die extruder comprising one or more fluid input ports configured to receive a fluid from the applicator head, a shim positioned adjacent to the die extruder, and a plate positioned adjacent to the shim on a side of the shim opposite from the die extruder. The securing mechanism includes a securing component at one of the applicator head and the slot die assembly and a corresponding securing component at the other of the applicator head and slot die assembly.
ILLUMINATED WATER SPRAYER
The present disclosure relates to a water sprayer and various features thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a water sprayer for use in a pool, and to a method for using the same. In various embodiments, the water sprayer may include a water output mechanism and a light source that is powered by flowing water to provide illumination functionality.
Boom Constructed from Several Shaped Panels of Material
The present invention relates to a boom constructed from several shaped panels of material formed or shaped to overlap when assembled to form a strong, yet lightweight, structure. The boom can have two or more joined panels to form a boom with a generally triangular shaped exterior profile. The panels can have two or more lips. One lip from each panel, together with the panel faces, form a six-sided interior profile when the panels are assembled. The interiorly located lips are gussets. The gussets can form three conduits, one at each of the triangle corners. The boom can be tapered along its longitudinal axis. The panels can have ribs formed therein to provide stiffness. A folding assembly (when a secondary section is used) and sprayers can be provided. A structural top tension tube can be provided. Longitudinal ribs that act as flow paths also can be provided.
Battery
A battery includes a first conductive substrate portion having a first face, and a second conductive substrate portion having a second face opposed to the first face. Each of the first and second faces has a perimeter portion and an interior portion inside the perimeter portion. A first electrode material of the battery is disposed in contact with the interior portion of at least one of the first and second faces, and a jettable electrolyte material disposed in contact with the first electrode material. A second electrode material is disposed in contact with the electrolyte material, and a conductive tab is disposed in contact with the second electrode material. The conductive tab extends outwardly from the interior region beyond the perimeter portion of at least one of the first and second faces.
Injector style irrigation system
An irrigation system comprises one or more waterlines coupled to one or more watering mechanisms for watering one or more areas. The watering mechanisms are fixed in place at the desired area by an adapter which removably couples the one or more watering systems in place. Water is supplied to each of the one or more watering mechanisms by traveling from the one or more waterlines and through one or more pressure compensators. The one or more pressure compensators regulate the water flow through the one or more watering mechanisms enabling the irrigation system to uniformly distribute water at a set and constant pressure value. The water is distributed by one or more valves which are used to control one or more zones of the irrigation system. In some embodiments, a controller controls the system based upon a signal received from one or more sensors of the system.
Cleaning apparatus
A cleaning apparatus, including: a hollow handle with a first end and a second end; a spray manifold having an inlet and a plurality of outlets along a length of the spray manifold; and a plurality of wheels supporting the spray manifold; wherein the inlet of the spray manifold is connected to the first end of the handle via a swivel coupling assembly, such that the spray manifold is rotatable in two orthogonal directions relative to the handle; and wherein the second end of the handle is configured to receive a fluid.
Spray manifold with individual liquid feed spray guns
A modular spray gun manifold having a plurality of spray gun modules arranged in a lateral array each separated by an adjacent support assembly. Each spray gun module has a central liquid passage communicating with a spray nozzle and a transversely oriented liquid inlet port communicating through an outer side of the spray gun module for connection with an independently controllable liquid supply. The spray gun modules further include a recirculation port communicating between the central passageway and a recirculation conduit in an adjacent support assembly. A control valve of each module is operable when in open spraying position for blocking communication of liquid from the central passageway to the circulation port and when in a valve closing position blocking the liquid flow to the spray nozzle while redirecting liquid from the liquid inlet to the recirculation port for recirculation through the manifold array.
Dispensing apparatus and methods utilizing quick connect member to secure fluid body and actuator body
A fluid dispensing apparatus includes an actuator body with an actuator and a valve stem coupled for movement with the actuator, and a fluid body having a fluid chamber capable of fluid communication with an outlet. The valve stem is adapted to extend from the actuator body into the fluid chamber for dispensing fluid from the fluid chamber through the outlet. A quick connect member is provided to selectively fully engage and disengage a first coupling element on the actuator body with a second coupling element on the fluid body, to connect and disconnect the actuator body and the fluid body with respect to each other. The quick connect member advantageously connects or disconnects these bodies without requiring disassembly or dismounting of the bodies from other elements associated with the fluid dispensing apparatus, with a simple manual movement such as a sliding linear continuous movement.
COATING SPRAYER, METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING AND DISASSEMBLING
The invention relates to a sprayer, comprising an air guiding element and means for fastening the air guiding element on a fixed member of the sprayer. The fastening means comprise at least one magnetic attraction means mounted on a first component from among the air guiding element and the fixed member and at least one part made from a ferromagnetic material, which is intended to cooperate with the magnetic attraction means and which is mounted on or formed by the other component from among the air guiding element and the fixed element.
