A dispensing closure for a squeeze-type container produces a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment. The dispensing closure includes a closure body having an upper deck and a skirt depending from the upper deck. The skirt is configured and arranged to attach to a product container, such as a squeeze-type container. A flow conduit extends from an interior of the closure body and through the upper deck to provide a flow path from an interior of the closure to an exterior of the closure. The flow conduit has an entrance orifice and an exit orifice. The flow conduit has an inner wall extending between the entrance orifice and the exit orifice. The flow conduit and the closure body are integrally formed. The flow conduit includes a tip portion with an exit orifice defining a shape to provide a fan-type spray in a low pressure environment.

The present invention relates to a nozzle for an air trapping device configured to remove air from a fluid, the nozzle comprising a body having an input opening configured to receive the fluid and an output opening configured to distribute the fluid along an edge of the output opening, wherein the edge comprises a control element configured to reduce surface tension of the fluid. The present invention further relates to an air trapping device 200 configured to remove air from a fluid and comprising the nozzle.

A spray cap for a spray container includes a tubular wall for connection to the spring container, a cap plate in which a plurality of spray slits is formed and a valve to admit air into the space defined by the wall but which prevents the outflow of liquid from the space to the exterior. The cap plate includes a support plate of polymeric material in which an aperture is formed. An insert of more resilient polymeric material is retained in the aperture and forms a liquid-tight seal with the support plate. The spray slits are formed in the insert. The support plate and the insert define a liquid flow path between the space and the spray slits and include respective opposed annular sealing areas which are situated upstream of the spray slits and are biased into contact with one another by the resilience of the insert. When the spray cap is inverted and an increased pressure is produced in the space the pressure acts on the insert and the insert is thereby caused to deform such that the sealing areas move out of sealing contact and liquid can flow to the spray slits.

A system and method for the application of friction-modifying coatings to roadways, walkways, pathways and other areas subject to vehicular, human or animal traffic, the system and method comprising the controlled, simultaneous application of binder and filler to a surface of a substrate, using a mobile device which passes over the substrate as the binder and filler are being applied. The system includes a mobile platform configured for being coupled to a vehicle. A binder applicator is mounted on the mobile platform and includes an array of spray nozzles coupled to a resin container. An air knife is mounted on the mobile platform and coupled to an air compressor for generating an air curtain. An aggregate dispenser bar including at least one aggregate dispenser is coupled to an aggregate bin and mounted on the mobile platform for dispensing aggregate.

A shower includes a shower assembly and a control member. The shower assembly includes a main body having a side wall, an end wall, a plurality of outlet bores and an inlet bore, wherein the side wall and end wall are connected to each other to compose an accommodating space. The outlet bores and the inlet bore are positioned on the side wall of the main body, and communicate with each other through the accommodating space. The control member is positioned in the accommodating space of the shower assembly, and has a flow channel and a plurality of through holes. Each of the through holes communicates with each other through the flow channel, and is corresponding to the inlet bore or one of the outlet bores. When the control member is operated, at least one of the through holes communicates with the inlet bore, and another one of the through holes communicates with the corresponding one of the outlet bores.

A high efficiency nozzle is designed. The nozzle allows water streams with long-range and high surface area in one system. Suitable transitions in the fluid pathways allow creating water streams that have a robust flow profile. The system allows minimum energy loss whilst maximizing the velocity and surface area. Such nozzles can be used for a variety of applications including but not limited to fire suppression, pressure washing, watering, and other such applications.

Provided is an atomizing apparatus that reduces stress concentration applied to a slit chamber, maintains an appropriate tightening force, and improves maintenance performance. The slit chamber includes: a water guide nozzle into which raw material is supplied; an upstream nozzle disposed on a downstream side of the water guide nozzle, the upstream nozzle including a first and a second upstream nozzle water guide portions each having an elongated hole and having enlarged diameter portions at both ends; and a downstream nozzle disposed on a downstream side of the upstream nozzle, the downstream nozzle having a downstream nozzle water guide portion into which the raw material is supplied.

A spray head has an inlet in fluid communication with a plurality of nozzles. The nozzles are adapted to produce, in use, a jet of fluid which is directed toward a respective impingement surface portion. The jet of fluid impacts on the respective impingement surface portion and breaks into a stream of droplets. The stream of droplets has an elongate transverse cross-section.

Various embodiments of modular dual vector fluid spray nozzles are disclosed. Embodiments of the nozzles are characterized by specially shaped fluid channels, impingement surfaces and exit orifices used to generate atomized mists of fluid under pressure. Embodiments of the nozzles are generally characterized by composite fluid spray density patterns having horizontal and vertical components, i.e., dual vector in nature. The nozzles disclosed are modular and may be easily installed or removed from a given fluid spray system, nozzle head, or fixture as dictated by any given application.
