Handheld gas spray systems for mixing and dispensing multi-component compositions.

A dispenser is disclosed that includes a pump having a pump chamber that receives a fluid, a pulsation dampener, and a discharge conduit. The pulsation dampener has a dampener housing with an interior volume and a dampener housing opening. A spring biased movable piston is located in the interior volume of the pulsation dampener and defines a variable volume headspace between the piston and the dampener housing opening. The discharge conduit provides fluid communication between each of an outlet of the pump chamber, the dampener housing opening, and a nozzle such that, when the pump is activated, at least a portion of fluid from the outlet of the pump chamber flows within the discharge conduit to the dampener housing opening. The dispenser is configured to, when the pump is activated, emit a substantially constant stream of fluid from the nozzle for at least one second.

Various embodiments concern a sprayer having a blower that outputs a HVLP flow of air into a hose, the hose connecting with a spray gun. A pressure sensor measures pressure of the HVLP air within the hose via a tube that branches from a fitting to which the hose connects. If the sensor indicates that the pressure level has increased above a threshold amount, indicating that the trigger of the spray gun is not being actuated, then power output to the blower is reduced (e.g., stopped). HVLP air is trapped within the hose by two valves when the trigger is not actuated. When the sensor indicates that the pressure level has decreased, corresponding to release of the trapped HVLP air into the gun for spraying by actuation of the trigger, power to the blower is increased (e.g., resumed).

A shower caddy includes a 4-way diverter for attachment to a shower arm and to divert water received from the shower arm to a circuit of pipes within the shower caddy. The shower caddy further includes a heating circuit within a basin. The basin holds bathing fluids, and the heating circuit transfers heat from water traveling via the circuit of pipes to the bathing fluids within the basin. The shower caddy further includes an additive infuser attached to the circuit of pipes that infuses an additive into the water flowing through the circuit of pipes when the additive infuser is activated by a user. The circuit of pipes is further connected to a showerhead that outputs the water received from the shower arm following it being used for the heating circuit and/or having an additive infused therein.

An embodiment gas treatment system (10) includes a gas treatment chamber (12). The gas treatment chamber (12) is separated into (i) a chemical agent chamber (14) adapted to store a liquid chemical agent and (ii) a gas/chemical agent mixing chamber (18) in fluid communication with the chemical agent chamber (14). The system (10) includes an atomising assembly (20) operatively associated with the gas/chemical agent mixing chamber (18) and a pressurised gas supply assembly (22) in operative fluid communication with the atomising assembly (20). The system also includes a chemical agent supply assembly (24) to provide fluid communication between the chemical agent chamber (14) and the atomising assembly (20) wherein the atomising assembly (20) is operatively adapted to atomise liquid chemical agent into a stream of pressurised gas fed from the pressurised gas supply assembly (22) into the gas/chemical mixing agent chamber (18).

A variety of dispensing manifolds which are removable connectable to a single deformable container having a single exit portion are disclosed. The dispensing manifolds of the present disclosure provide a single deformable container having a single exit with one or more outlets from which a fluid can be controllably dispensed. The present disclosure also provides a single force generation mechanism, a deformable container holding a fluid or substance, and dispensing mechanisms all on one machine, i.e., a carrier; a system that may also include a pressurized air source that assists a flow of a fluid; and a system that allows for a continuous flow a substance. The systems of the present disclosure provide a deformable container and a method of dispensing wherein, during dispensing, an actuation member is continuously free of contact with the fluid or substance within the container and the actuation member only contacts the exterior surface of the deformable container.

A system for combining and spraying fluids that includes a principal reservoir for holding a carrier fluid; an electric pump in communication with the principal reservoir; a power source for energizing the pump selectable between a rechargeable 12-volt battery and a 110-volt AC line; at least one auxiliary reservoir for holding an auxiliary fluid to be controllably mixed with carrier fluid being drawn from the principal reservoir; a selector valve for selecting which if any of the auxiliary fluid(s) are to be combined with the carrier fluid; a Venturi tube for combining streams of carrier fluid and selected auxiliary fluid(s) in a predetermined ratio which may be varied as desired; and a spray wand in fluid communication with the Venturi tube for discharging the selected fluids.

A connecting device for connecting two or more components to one another, includes an inlet section and an outlet section. The inlet section and the outlet section respectively include one or more connectors for each of the two or more components, with one or more passages extending between the inlet section and the outlet section, with the connecting device being of single piece design and being plastic
