The spray nozzle includes a body, which has a fluid inlet region and a fluid outlet orifice, and which houses: a core, internally defining a passage, of increasing cross-section, in communication with the outside substantially at the point of its smallest cross-section, resulting in a Venturi effect, an insert, provided with an outlet slot defining the opening angle of the nozzle, the core and the insert being at a distance from one another and forming therebetween a working chamber.
The nozzle further includes a splitter, housed in the working chamber, arranged to form an obstacle to the flow of the fluid, the splitter having two axial orifices, each forming a fluid passage, on either side of a radial plane, such that the two streams passing through the orifices of the splitter combine and then impinge the surface of the outlet slot of the insert, ultimately generating a flat jet.

A showerhead includes a water outlet and a deflector in axial spaced relation to the water outlet. Water discharged from the water outlet is configured to extend axially through a vertical opening and impact the deflector to form a sheet-like water layer.

Provided is a cleaning device, comprising a wiper, a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate, a first elastic clamp and a second elastic clamp. The first clamping plate comprises a first plate body, a first bent portion and a first end portion. The first bent portion extends between the first plate body and the first end portion in a bent manner. The second clamping plate comprises a second plate body, a second bent portion and a second end portion. The second bent portion extends between the second plate body and the second end portion in a bent manner. The wiper is positioned between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate. The cleaning device is moved relative to the nozzle to wipe the nozzle for cleaning. The wiper will not generate pollution and basically causes no wear to the nozzle.

An object of the present invention is to suppress variations in shape of flow channels to have an enlarged flow channel. When an attachment main body 51 of a lid member 50 is attached to a recessed attachment part 46 of a main body member 40, a pair of flange parts 52 provided to the lid member 50 abuts on the main body member 40. Therefore, the insertion amount of the attachment main body 51 into the recessed attachment part 46 in each product can be maintained approximately constant while enlarging a main channel MC and a pair of sub channels SS1 and SS2, which are formed by the main body member 40 and the lid member 50, and variations in shape of these flow channels can be reliably suppress. The contact surfaces between the lid member 50 and the main body member 40 can be bent by providing the flange parts 52, and when forming a covering member 60, the molten resin can be prevented from leaking from the outside of the lid member 50 toward the main flow channel MS and the pair of sub flow channels SS1 and SS2, and as a result, variations in shape of the flow channels can be reliably suppressed.

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 frame coupled to a vehicle. A binder applicator is mounted on the frame and includes an array of spray nozzles coupled to a resin container. An air knife is mounted on the frame 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 frame for dispensing aggregate.

The present invention relates to a system for spraying a product, notably a plant-protection product, comprising product spray nozzles (10) and airflow generating means (110), characterized in that the airflow generating means comprise an outlet (112) in the form of an annular slit designed to generate an airflow (102) in the form of a continuous tubular curtain of air enclosing the jets (12) emanating from the spray nozzles (10) and that the sprayed product cannot cross.

The invention relates to a process for processing an adhesive, wherein the process comprises applying an adhesive precursor product onto an adhesive carrier and activating and crosslinking the adhesive precursor product by treating the adhesive precursor product with water vapor and heat in a reaction chamber, and wherein the process is characterized in that air mixed with reaction gases forming during the activation and crosslinking in the reaction chamber is conducted away from the reaction chamber and recirculated as circulating air into the reaction chamber, wherein a portion of used air of the air recirculated as circulating air is replaced by fresh air. The invention further relates to a corresponding device for processing a pressure sensitive hot-melt adhesive.

An application unit (13) comprises a rotation unit (26) and a support unit (27). The rotation unit (26) comprises a nozzle unit (28), a nozzle support part (29), a body base (30), a first supply part (31), a second supply part (32), a third supply part (33), a valve (34), and a motor (35). The nozzle support part (29) rotatably supports the nozzle unit (28) such that the central axis of the nozzle unit (28) is inclined with respect to the rotation axis of the rotation unit (26).

A system for efficiently and ergonomically waterproofing a weakness area of a roof. The system includes an airless sprayer system capable of attaching to one or more attachments. The airless sprayer system is connected to a reservoir containing a waterproofing liquid. The attachments include an encapsulating attachment and a duckbilled attachment, either attachment capable of connecting to an extending wand. The system may be used atop a roof by either placing the encapsulating attachment over a fastener or the duckbilled end over a seam and pulling the trigger of a spray gun of the airless sprayer system until either the fastener or seam are sufficiently covered in waterproofing liquid. By connecting the wand therebetween the spray gun and the attachment, the user of the system may be able to remain standing when applying the waterproofing liquid. A method for efficiently and ergonomically waterproofing a roof weakness using the system.

Methods and apparatus for vacuum forming and subsequently applying topical coatings fiber-based food containers. The slurry includes one or more of an embedded moisture barrier, vapor barrier, and oil barrier, and the topical coating comprises one or more of a vapor barrier, a moisture barrier, an oil barrier, and an oxygen barrier, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sugar alcohol, citric acid, and cellulose nanofibrils.
