Abstract

A hot melt system is configured to generate liquid adhesive from solid adhesive pellets. The liquid adhesive is applied to components, such as box tops, to fix components together. A melter is configured to melt the adhesive pellets into the liquid adhesive. Adhesive pellets are periodically fed from a hopper to the melter to maintain a constant supply of liquid adhesive. An adjustable flow restrictor is disposed upstream of a feeder that displaces the adhesive pellets from the hopper to the melter. The adjustable flow restrictor is adjustable to change a flow of the compressed gas flow to the feeder. Adjusting the flow of the compressed gas flow adjusts the feed rate of the adhesive pellets from the hopper to the melter.

A road taping machine is configured to unspool road marking tape from a spool and tamp that tape onto pavement via a tamping roller. Tape is cut using a blade assembly, and aligned with several alignment rollers. A pivot arm permits a subset of the alignment rollers to displace, allowing slack in the tape to be taken in during cutting such that taping can occur continuously, despite cuts. The spool is housed on an axle anchored to a support arm that can be actuated between an elevated position for loading, and a depressed position for taping. A taping section of the machine is laterally displaceable relative to a drive section via a displacement plate, to permit taping of laterally remote locations. The machine can support multiple spools, including spools with tape paths that bypass the blade assembly.

Abstract

A plural component spray gun provides flows of constituent materials and compressed gas to a downstream mix chamber in which the constituent materials mix to form a plural component material. The valves of the plural component spray gun are configured to control the flows of both the constituent material and the compressed gas and are configured such that the compressed gas flows when the constituent material flow is shut off and the constituent material flows when the compressed gas flow is shut off. The valves are disposed in one or more cartridges that are mountable to a gun body of the spray gun. The cartridge fully contains the flow control elements for both constituent material and compressed gas.

Abstract

An electrically operated displacement pump includes an electric motor having a stator and a rotor. The rotor is connected to the fluid displacement member to drive axial reciprocation of the fluid displacement member. A drive mechanism is disposed between and connected to each of the rotor and the fluid displacement member. The drive mechanism receives a rotational output from the rotor and provides a linear input to the fluid displacement member. A controller controls operation of the motor based on an operating state of the motor to control pumping by the displacement pump.

Abstract

A battery powered fluid sprayer includes a reciprocating positive displacement pump, a power supply that includes a battery, an electric motor, a motor controller, a user-adjustment mechanism for setting a user-adjustable pressure threshold corresponding to system fluid pressure of the battery powered fluid sprayer, a pressure switch, and a power controller. The pressure switch generates a pressure signal indicative of whether the system fluid pressure is greater than the user-adjustable pressure threshold. The power controller is configured to control power of the battery powered fluid sprayer by providing operating power of the motor controller in response to the pressure signal indicating that the system fluid pressure is less than the user-adjustable pressure threshold, and not providing the operating power of the motor controller in response to the pressure signal indicating that the system fluid pressure is greater than the user-adjustable pressure threshold.

Abstract

A nozzle assembly includes a mixing channel and an aerator. The mixing channel has upstream and downstream ends defining a flow direction through the mixing channel and includes a housing wall and a mixer. The housing wall defines a flow passage and includes an inlet portion and a tip orifice. The inlet portion disposed at the upstream end and configured to receive a first material and a second material. The tip orifice is disposed at the downstream end and is configured to emit a plural component material from the mixing channel. The mixer is disposed within the mixing channel and is configured to mix the first material and the second material into the plural component material. The aerator is configured to flow nucleation air to a location downstream of an upstream end of the mixer and into a flow of the plural component material.

Abstract

A clamp for sanitary pumps includes a tensioning assembly mounted on a ring. The tensioning assembly includes an adjustment assembly that interfaces with first and second brackets disposed at first and second ends of the ring. The adjustment assembly includes a nut that interfaces with a rod at a threaded interface. A head is disposed at an end of the rod opposite the nut and interfaces with the second bracket. The nut and rod are coaxial and an orientation of a common adjustment axis can be changed by pivoting the adjustment assembly relative to the first bracket, to maintain concentricity between the nut and rod.

Abstract

A fan air control assembly for a spray gun (10) controls the flow rate of a fan air portion of compressed air to the spray end of the spray gun (10), thereby controlling the resulting spray pattern. The fan air lever (28) is accessible from the exterior of the spray gun (10) and can be manipulated while spraying by the hand of the user holding the sprayer and manipulating the trigger. The fan air control assembly (20) is rotatable on a valve axis (B) to control the flow of the fan air portion.

Abstract

An electrically operated displacement pump includes an electric motor having a stator and a rotor. The rotor is connected to the fluid displacer to drive axial reciprocation of the fluid displacer. A controller controls operation of the motor based on an operating state of the motor to control pumping by the displacement pump. The controller is configured to operate the pump in a priming mode, during priming of the pump, and a pumping mode, during pumping of process fluid. The controller causes the fluid displacer to move differently in the priming mode than in the pumping mode.

Abstract

A spray gun includes a gun body and a handle removably connected to the gun body. A filter is disposed in the handle for filtering particulate from the spray fluid. A trigger guard is connected to the handle and gun body and includes a contour on a lower portion of the trigger guard for receiving one or more fingers of the user that are not interfacing with and contacting the trigger. The trigger guard can be disconnected from the gun body and rotated relative to the handle. The trigger guard can contact a portion of the handle and exert torque on the handle to connect the handle to and disconnect the handle from the gun body. The portion of the handle at least partially covers a fitting connecting to the handle to provide spray fluid to the spray gun.
