A shower head is disclosed that includes means for accessing its interior. A method for accessing the interior of the shower head is also disclosed. The shower head includes a main body with an interior, a proximal water receiving end for connecting to a water source and a distal water dispensing end. A face plate is movably affixed to the water dispensing end. The face plate has openings for water to pass therethrough to reach a user. The face plate is movable between a closed position where the face plate closes the distal water dispensing end of the main body and an open position where the face plate is displaced away from the distal water dispensing end of the main body to access the interior of the main body. The interior of the shower head is therefore easily accessible without the need for tools or plumbing expertise. The shower head may include a regulating device, also easily accessible, for controlling the flow or for treating the water passing therethrough.

An apparatus for a fluidic ejection device and a fluidic ejection device containing the apparatus. The apparatus includes a pivot member having at least a first position and a second position, a shaft attached on a first end thereof to the pivot member and on a second end distal from the first end to a capping structure, wherein pivot of the pivot member pivots the capping structure from a first capped position to a second uncapped position adjacent an ejection head of the fluidic ejection device.

A clear injection valve for monitoring flow rate and clogging utilizes a flow section, an injector section, and a compression nut. The compression nut is used to fasten a chemical tubing system against the flow section. A first set of threads and a second set of threads are used to removably attach the compression nut onto a neck portion of the flow section. The flow section, which is made of transparent material, is in fluid communication with the injector section allowing fluids or other comparable matter to pass through the flow section and the injector section. In doing so, a flow channel of the flow section and an injector channel of the injector section are used. A distal opening of the injector section is used as the exit point for fluids or comparable matter. Preferably, the distal opening is connected to a plumbing system with a set of pipe-engaging threads.

A substrate processing apparatus according to the present disclosure includes first and second nozzles that eject a processing liquid to a substrate; a moving mechanism that moves the first and second nozzles; and a nozzle cleaning device that cleans at least the second nozzle. The nozzle cleaning device includes a cleaning bath and an overflow bath. The cleaning bath includes a liquid storage portion that stores a cleaning liquid for cleaning the second nozzle, and an overflow portion that discharges the cleaning liquid exceeding a predetermined level from the liquid storage portion. The overflow bath is disposed adjacent to the cleaning bath and receives the cleaning liquid discharged from the overflow portion and discharge the received cleaning liquid to the outside.

An agricultural sprayer arrangement includes a chassis; a ground engaging traction member carried by the chassis; a liquid tank carried by the chassis; a boom carried by the chassis; a conduit associated with the boom in fluid communication with the liquid tank that acts as a fluid flow path; a nozzle having an inlet in fluid communication with the conduit; a first flow sensor placed upstream of the inlet in the fluid flow path that provides a first flow signal; a second flow sensor placed downstream of the inlet in the fluid flow path that provides a second flow signal; and an electrical processing circuit coupled to the first flow sensor and the second flow sensor that is configured to compare the first and second flow signals to determine a flow rate decrease and issue an alarm if the flow rate decrease is less than a predetermined threshold level.

The invention relates to a method for producing foamed molded bodies comprising the steps of A) providing a mold, and B) introducing a foam-forming reaction mixture into the mold under variable pressure of injection,
wherein the method is characterized in that
the foam-forming reaction mixture has a fiber time of ≧20 s to ≦60 s.

In an applicator assembly for applying a fluid in which the applicator assembly defines at least a portion of a flow path, the assembly may comprise an upstream fluid source, a downstream applicator for forming a point of application, a conduit generally connecting the fluid source to the applicator, an orifice structure defining an orifice opening configured such that fluid flowing along the flow path passes through the orifice opening, and an orifice inverting structure configured to reverse flow through the orifice opening of the orifice structure.

Assembly for dispensing a liquid, in particular a colorant for paint, comprising a container for holding a liquid, a pump, a valve, at least one dispense opening, and comprising or associated with a controller arranged to operate the pump and the valve to withdraw liquid from the container and to dispense liquid via the opening and to operate the pump and the valve to purge liquid from the pump to the container via the dispense opening.
