Showerhead assembly with primary showerhead and orbiting showerhead
A showerhead assembly is provided having a primary showerhead which is relatively traditional in construction and includes a hollow housing and a plurality of spray nozzles. In addition, the showerhead assembly includes an orbiting showerhead which rotates about the primary showerhead's central axis. The primary showerhead is connected to a water source by a neck portion having a female threaded inlet. Meanwhile, the orbiting showerhead is rotatably connected to the neck portion by a collar and elbow conduit. Preferably, the orbiting showerhead can tilt inwardly and outwardly with respect to the elbow conduit thereby allowing the spray from the orbiting showerhead to tilt inward or outward relative to the spray from the primary showerhead.

DEVICE FOR DISPENSING A VORTEX WATER JET
A device for dispensing a vortex water jet has a device body in which a water swirling path is obtained. The water swirling path has a swirling chamber defined between two opposite side walls which axially extend between a plurality of water inlet ends circumferentially arranged about the swirling chamber, and a water outlet end. The water swirling path has a plurality of chamber supply channels which are angled with respect to the swirling chamber, each chamber supply channel leading into a water inlet end of the swirling chamber. The device generates an output swirling water jet having shapes with particular aesthetical effect.
Fluid tip for spray applicator
A spray system includes a spray applicator configured to apply a fluid to a target. The spray system also includes a rotary bell cup of the spray applicator, a splash plate of the spray applicator coupled to the rotary bell cup, and a fluid tip of the spray applicator. The fluid tip is configured to output the fluid onto the rotary bell cup. The fluid tip includes a fluid tip passage extending along a longitudinal fluid tip axis of the fluid tip. The longitudinal fluid tip axis intersects with the splash plate of the spray applicator. The fluid tip also includes a fluid exit port configured to output the fluid from the fluid tip passage onto the rotary bell cup. The fluid exit port extends along a fluid exit axis disposed at an angle relative to the longitudinal fluid tip axis of the fluid tip.
Showerhead, showerhead fluid concentrator, and method
A showerhead is provided having a housing, a perforate partition and a nozzle body. The housing has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The perforate partition is provided in the housing between the inlet and the outlet and has at least one peripheral fluid passage communicating with the fluid inlet. Each peripheral fluid passage communicates at a downstream end with an inwardly extending peripheral slot, and each slot communicates at a downstream end with a mixing cavity. The nozzle body is carried by the housing downstream of the mixing cavity and has a compression port at an upstream end and an outlet port at a downstream end in fluid communication with the compression port.
AUTOMATIC REVERSIBLE ARC SPRINKLER
An automatic reversible arc assembly for a sprinkler includes a pair of primary stop members circumferentially spaced from each other by a first amount, and a pair of secondary stop members circumferentially spaced from each other by a second amount, different from the first amount. The primary stop members and the secondary stop members are coupled together and define a pivot assembly pivotable between a first position and a second position. A timer module cooperable with the pivot assembly is configured to hold the pivot assembly in the first position for a selectable period of time, after which the timer module enables the pivot assembly to pivot to the second position. The primary stop members are active in the first position, and the secondary stop members are active in the second position.

Low-pressure spray nozzle assembly
A low-pressure spraying equipment for atomizing a working fluid at a low-pressure, includes a spray tip body having a top and a lower end, a handle arranged on the top of the spray tip body, and a chamfer defined at the lower end of the spray tip body. The spray tip body further includes a retaining shoulder and a ring collar, a mounting hole having a channel axis, a pre-atomizing component, and a tip atomizing component. The pre-atomizing component further includes a feeding channel, a pre-atomization channel, and a pre-atomization regulating channel. The feeding channel, the pre-atomization channel, and the pre-atomization regulating channel are three coaxial hollow channels sequentially defined and connected along the channel axis inside the pre-atomizing component.
Spray unit with a rotatable nozzle as well as a blasting device
A blasting device has a spray unit for spraying blasting agent onto the surface to be treated. The spray unit has an insert 23′ in which a nozzle 13′ is rotatable. This nozzle 13′ is provided with a number of spray channels 19′ which are at an angle 21′ relative to the supply direction 17 of the blasting agent. The blasting agent is pressed through the spray channels 19′ under pressure and exerts a force on the wall of the spray channels 19′ causing the nozzle 13′ to rotate. The jets emerging from the rotating nozzle 13′ will make a rotating movement. The joint area of the cross-sections of the spray channels 19′ is larger than one third of the cross-sectional area of the circular-cylindrical part of the nozzle. The angle 21′ at which the spray channels are located with respect to the supply direction 17 of the blasting agent is greater than zero and less than 10 degrees.
Cage design with modified struts including oriented fins
A sprinkler body for a rotating sprinkler includes a base securable to a source of water under pressure, a plurality of support struts connected to and extending from the base, and a deflector plate support connected to the plurality of support struts and disposed spaced from the base by the support struts. At least one of the plurality of support struts is wedge-shaped with an inward-facing apex. The support struts are configured to create a void in the water spray pattern away from a center pivot pipe and to direct the water spray downward to limit the effect of wind on the spray pattern.
