A multifunctional irrigation pliers and method of piercing, cutting, and fitting an irrigation tube with an irrigation pliers. The irrigation pliers enables the forming of a hole in an irrigation tube, the placement of a nozzle or a drip emitter into the formed hole or a terminal opening of the irrigation tube, the cutting of a length of the irrigation tube, and general deforming of sections of the irrigation tube. A first jaw and a second jaw are pivotally attached together at a pivoting joint to allow the jaws to be pivotally displaced toward and away from each other by moving a first handle and a second handle to and away from each other. The inner surfaces of the jaw comprise a blade, a spike, and retaining slots sequentially positioned across the jaws to engage the irrigation tube, the nozzle, and the drip emitter.

A discrete flat dripper of the non-pressure regulated type of drippers or of the pressure compensated-flow rate regulated type of drippers, suited for being integrally installed within a hose, that comprises a body component whose configuration is essentially rectangular, wherein on its one side that is suited to being affixed to an internal wall of the hose, formed with an exit pool that it is elongated in its dimensions and substantially extends along the entire length of the body component, and with a flow passage circumferentially surrounding a substantial part of the elongated exit pool, and an integral dripper line wherein there are integrated at least one of such discrete flat dripper.

In one aspect, the present disclosure relates to a bowling lane conditioning machine. The bowling lane conditioning machine has a drive mechanism for moving the conditioning machine along a bowling lane, a fluid storage tank that stores a conditioning fluid; a dispensing assembly for dispensing the conditioning fluid about the bowling lane; and a pump for moving the conditioning fluid along a flow path between the at least one fluid storage tank and the dispensing assembly. The conditioning machine further includes contaminant sensing assembly positioned along the flow path of the conditioning fluid for detection of one or more contaminants in the conditioning fluid. Other aspects also are described.

An emitter (120) forms a flow path that runs to a discharge part (250) from an intake part (220) for receiving an irrigation liquid in a tube. The flow path includes a flow volume control part (240) which includes: an end surface (243) including a concave inclined surface that faces a film (300) for receiving the pressure of the liquid inside the tube; a hole (244) that opens at the center of the flow volume control part (240) and connects to the discharge part (250); and a groove (245) crossing the inclined surface and running to the hole (244). When the film (300) adheres to the inclined surface as a result of the pressure of the irrigation liquid inside the tube, the flow volume of the irrigation liquid inside the emitter (120) is controlled so as to be a volume that can pass through the groove (245).

An embodiment of the present invention provides a nozzle capable of discharging a fluid such as coolant around a predetermined area including a contact portion between a tool and a workpiece to concentrate the fluid on a target position or in a target direction. The nozzle includes an inlet through which a fluid is supplied, an outlet through which the fluid is discharged, and an interior space connecting the inlet and the outlet. A plate-shaped member having a cross section of a predetermined shape is disposed in the interior space to form a flow path of the fluid.

A fluid nozzle assembly (10) for cleaning a LIDAR sensor is provided. The nozzle assembly includes a plurality of spray nozzles (14) that are interchangeably received within press-fit openings of a nozzle manifold. At least one of the spray nozzles provides a flat fan spray pattern and another one of the spray nozzles provides a narrow jet, collectively creating a multi-functional spray pattern. In another embodiment, a blower bracket is provided. The blower bracket includes a blower box and a plurality of selectable air nozzle adaptors. The air nozzle adaptors are joined to the blower box along a periphery of the blower box sidewall. The air nozzle adaptors include at least one barbed fitting for attachment to an air hose. The blower bracket provides a variety of configurations for use in specific locations in an overhead or rear tiara.

An example soaker sink may include a sink basin that receives wash items therein and defines an inlet opening. The soaker sink may further include a manifold that defines an inlet opening, an interior that receives a fluid flow input via the inlet opening, and a plurality of outlets. The outlets may permit discharge of fluid from the interior of the manifold to the sink basin and may include at least a first outlet and may further include a common outlet dimension. The soaker sink may further include a pump fluidically coupled with the inlet opening of the sink basin and the inlet opening of the manifold to recirculate fluid from the sink basin to the manifold. A flow restrictor may be removably coupled with the first outlet and may be configured to modify a flow rate of the fluid discharged via the first outlet.

An irrigation tube having outlets extending along the length of the tube in a spaced relationship and finely-divided silica or iron oxide particles dispersed in the tube thereby increasing a surface hardness of the tube to deter rodent, worm or insect damage, the silica particles further can include an odor repellant located within the particles.
