A liquid slurry spraying system for spraying highly viscous slurries, including those with solids content, while maintaining the slurry in agitated condition for optimum discharge. The spraying system includes a nozzle body with a liquid flow passage having a liquid slurry inlet adjacent an upstream end and a spray tip at a downstream end, a valve needle supported in the liquid flow passage for reciprocating movement between spray tip closing and opening positions, and a bladed rotor having a plurality of vanes rotatably supported on the valve needle for rotation as an incident to the direction of liquid slurry from said liquid inlet when the valve needle is in an open position for agitating the liquid slurry for direction to the spray tip.

A modular spray gun manifold having a plurality of spray gun modules arranged in a lateral array each separated by an adjacent support assembly. Each spray gun module has a central liquid passage communicating with a spray nozzle and a transversely oriented liquid inlet port communicating through an outer side of the spray gun module for connection with an independently controllable liquid supply. The spray gun modules further include a recirculation port communicating between the central passageway and a recirculation conduit in an adjacent support assembly. A control valve of each module is operable when in open spraying position for blocking communication of liquid from the central passageway to the circulation port and when in a valve closing position blocking the liquid flow to the spray nozzle while redirecting liquid from the liquid inlet to the recirculation port for recirculation through the manifold array.

A housing selectively encloses a nozzle. The housing has a body that partially defines an interior space in which the nozzle is configured to be disposed. The housing also includes a cover assembly that selectively blocks a first aperture of the body and further defines the interior space. Additionally, the housing has a piston that is disposed in the interior space and secured to the nozzle. The piston defines a gas inlet, a liquid inlet, and an outlet fluidly connected to both the gas inlet and the liquid inlet. The housing further includes a biasing member attached to the piston. The biasing member is configured to exert a biasing force that biases the nozzle to a retracted position. The biasing member is further configured such that when pressurized gas flows through the body, the biasing force is overcome such that the nozzle is disposed in an extended position.

The present invention provides devices and methods for the impregnation of air with the vapor or aerosol of a substance in a ‘controllable manner to enable the testing or training of detection means to evaluate and quantify the presence of the substance in an enclosed volume, and iη• particular to enable production of training aids and quality assurance test items for use in canine-olfaction based security screening.

Disclosed is an ultrasonic spray coating system wherein (1) the surface of the feed blade of the ultrasonic spray head has been modified to add a series shallow channels to redirect the ultrasonic surface wave system that exists on the surface; (2) the internal passageway of the liquid applicator has been modified to add a series of channels to uniformly feed the liquid from the liquid applicator to the spray-forming tip; (3) a positive displacement pump is utilized to deliver the liquid to the spray head at a precise flow rate independent of the associated resistances of the liquid delivery system components; and (4) the gas entrainment system has been improved so as to expand the ultrasonically produced spray uniformly and without pulsations.

In the method for coating a razor blade with a lubricating material, a razor blade is provided having a body portion and a tip end defined by at least one tip surface and a cutting edge. The lubricating material is sprayed on the tip end of the razor blade, wherein spraying the lubricating material is performed steam-aided in that the lubricating material is introduced into a superheated water steam directed towards the tip end of the razor blade. Moreover, a method of making a razor blade by using the afore-mentioned method for coating the razor blade with a lubricating material is provided. Finally, also a razor blade coated in accordance with these methods, and a shaving razor provided with such a razor blade are described.

A shaping air ring for a rotary bell atomizer spray device includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced nozzles disposed in the shaping air ring, wherein each nozzle has a mix chamber, at least one inlet on an upstream end of the mix chamber, and an outlet at a downstream end of the mix chamber. First and second air flows are provided to the mix chamber through the at least one inlet and a combined air flow is discharged through the outlet. The combined air flow shapes the spray pattern of the liquid sprayed by the rotary bell atomizer spray device.

A set of nozzles for a spray gun, especially a compressed-air paint spray gun, comprises at least one nozzle module group with at least two different nozzle modules for mounting in or on the same base module of a spray gun. The nozzle modules have different medium flow rates under the same spray conditions, the spray jets generated by the nozzle modules having substantially the same spray jet section height and the same spray jet section width, the spray jet sections of the different nozzle modules in particular being congruent. A spray gun system, a method for embodying a nozzle module, a method for selecting a nozzle module from a set of nozzles for a paint job, a selection system, in particular a “slide gate system”, and a computer program product are also disclosed. The user can select the nozzle module which is ideal for the paint job and mode of operation in question.

The invention relates to a paint spray gun, comprising a tubular main body and a handle which is provided on the main body and has an actuatable trigger, wherein the main body has a spray opening on a first end face. The paint spray gun comprises a nozzle part arranged in the main body and a nozzle needle which can be moved in the nozzle part, wherein actuation of the trigger causes the nozzle needle to move in the nozzle part. The paint spray gun also comprises an air inlet opening and a fan which is driven by an electric motor for producing an air flow from the air inlet opening to the spray opening. The invention is characterised in that the electric motor and the fan are arranged in the main body and the air inlet opening is arranged on an end face of the main body opposite the first end face.
