An oscillating nozzle, in particular for a cleaning device, includes a fluid oscillator having an oscillation chamber. The oscillating nozzle is configured in an angled manner, so that the plane of the fluid jet is deflected in the interior of the nozzle. The deflection occurs downstream of the oscillation chamber. A cleaning device and a suction roller are also provided.

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

A spray nozzle for an agricultural sprayer includes a first actively controlled valve configured to control flow through the spray nozzle. A first pressure sensor is disposed upstream of the valve and a second pressure sensor is disposed downstream of the valve. The position of a valve member of the valve can be sensed, and a size of a restrictive orifice defined by the valve can be determined based on the sensed position of the valve member. A controller is configured to determine a flow rate through the valve based on a difference between a first pressure reading from the first pressure sensor and a second pressure reading from the second pressure sensor.

An agricultural sprayer having a liquid supply conduit for directing selectively controllable pressurized liquid to a plurality of spray nozzle assemblies. Each nozzle assembly includes a nozzle body having a respective orifice member having an inwardly tapered conical section communicating with a smaller diameter discharge orifice. Each respective orifice member is made of a resilient and pressure responsive deformable material such that upon an increase in the pressure of the liquid supply said liquid flow passage and discharge orifice thereof can be altered to increase the rate through said orifice member and nozzle body by at least 75 percent and upon interruption of the supply of pressurized liquid to the orifice member the orifice member liquid flow passage and discharge orifice return to their original shape.

A connector includes a first member defining a first opening; a second member defining a second opening; and a third member defining a third opening, the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening being centrally connected to define a cavity within the connector. A method for draining a sprinkler assembly includes removing a plug from a third opening of a connector of the sprinkler assembly, a sprinkler body of the sprinkler assembly connected to a first opening of the connector, a flexible conduit of the sprinkler assembly connected to a second opening of the connector; and draining a fluid from the connector and the flexible conduit through the third opening.

A method of using a system to apply liquid over a selected area includes providing a source of liquid, a first tube for transporting liquid from the source through the system, a connector, a check valve and a spray device. The connector includes a projection extending into the first tube. The projection has an inlet in fluid communication with the first tube. The connector further includes an outlet and a passageway in fluid communication with the inlet of the projection and the outlet of the connector. The check valve has an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the connector and an outlet. The check valve is operable to permit the passage of liquid from the inlet to the outlet upon pressurization of the liquid above a threshold pressurization level. The method includes the steps of introducing an amount of liquid to be applied to the selected area from the source of liquid to the first tube at a pressure below the threshold pressurization level of the check valve and providing pressurized air through the first tube to pressurize the liquid in the first tube above the threshold pressurization level of the check valve, thereby transporting liquid from the first tube, through the connector and the check valve and through the spray device in response to pressurization of the liquid. The liquid may be ozonated water.

A jet adapter (1) for plastering machines is designed for (semi)automatic application of materials, such as plaster, heat insulation foam, penetrating agent, etc. onto walls Thanks to its design, this unique jet adapter (1) in combination with a smart plastering machine is capable of plastering 1 m of a standard wall in 3 minutes, including plaster trowelling. The application of material onto the wall is performed by especially designed material jets (2) comprising a jet channel (22) and at least two gas feeds (24) entering the jet channel (22) at the slope ranging from 20° to 60° with reference to the axis of the jet (2), which feed the jet (2) with pressurized gas, that in the jet (2) accelerates the supplied material and provides it with energy sufficient for leaving the jet (2).
