Film for masking aircraft components and method of positioning same
11684940 · 2023-06-27 · ·

The invention solves the problem of protecting aircraft components during finishing. Such components are large and require masking films of vast dimensions which are difficult to handle and position rapidly. The invention relates to films packaged to facilitate transport, and to a method of positioning the packaged films on the corresponding components. The longitudinal and/or transverse portions of the films are packaged by means of at least one opération chosen from among: accordion folding, telescopic folding, gâte folding, roll folding, winding around a mandrel, and winding on itself. The packaged films can have positioning markers on at least one surface and/or tear lines suitable for detaching the portions of film to be separated. The invention also concerns a kit comprising a film and a guide element for guiding the positioning of the film on the component.

Firefighting nozzle with trigger operated slide valve

A firefighting nozzle comprises an elongated barrel having a inlet opening at one end for engaging a source of fluid under pressure and a discharge opening at an opposite end for engaging a discharge element for dispensing the fluid under pressure. A valve arrangement includes a slide valve element slidably mounted within the barrel for reciprocating movement along the length of the barrel to adjust the flow of fluid through the barrel. The nozzle includes a pistol grip trigger assembly mounted on the barrel that includes a segment gear pivotably for engaging a toothed surface of the slide valve element so that rotation of the segment gear causes reciprocation of the slide valve element. A four-bar linkage arrangement is incorporated between a manually actuated trigger to translate depressing the trigger to controllable reciprocation of the slide valve element. The four-bar linkage provides a mechanical advantage that allows the firefighter to easily control the trigger and thus the fluid discharge from the nozzle.

SPRAY WAND

A spray wand includes: a hollow tubular main body; a nozzle mounted on the output end of the main body; and a valve assembly configured to mount the input end of the main body. The valve assembly includes: a housing having an input conduit for coupling the valve assembly with a fluid source; a sealing piston biased within the input conduit toward a sealing position thereof; and a valve core having a column rotatable within the interior space of the housing and a handle extending from the column, the valve core being rotatable between at least one open position corresponding to an open condition of the valve assembly and at least one closed position corresponding to a closed condition of the valve assembly. Upon rotation of the column to at least one open position thereof, the sealing piston biased within the input conduit is pressed from the sealing position.

SPRAY GUN WITH ADJUSTMENT ELEMENT
20220134361 · 2022-05-05 ·

A spray gun having a gun body is provided. A duct extends in the gun body between an inlet mouth and a main outlet mouth. The gun body has a handle, the inlet mouth located in the handle, extending along a handle axis; a barrel, the main outlet mouth formed in the barrel, extending along a barrel axis; and an adjustment element extending onto the barrel around and parallel to the barrel axis. The adjustment element has a central cavity accommodating the barrel and a secondary outlet mouth. The adjustment element is axially movable between a retracted position and a forward position, in which the adjustment element is advanced axially cantilevered on the barrel, with the secondary outlet mouth axially distal to the main outlet mouth, defining, within the central cavity, an adjustment chamber filled with water exiting the main outlet mouth to flow through the secondary outlet mouth.
