    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a simple empty product sensor capable of giving an empty product alarm having maximum reliability and sensitivity by suppressing a complexity to a minimum limit. SOLUTION: A sensor body 10 has an inlet port 12 and an outlet port 11. The port 12 communicates with a liquid source and a liquid, and the port 11 communicates with a using position and the liquid. The body 10 has a float chamber 13 disposed to distribute the liquid parallel to a first passage 14 for connecting the port 12 to the port 11. The chamber 13 has a float 16 connected to a mechanical alarm. When the liquid of the source is dried up so that the liquid passing through the body 10 is not obtained, a pump 100 removes the liquid from the body 10 (particularly the chamber 13). Thus, the float 16 arrives at a position where a 'low or empty product' signal is generated.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide alarm for warning a low residual amount condition for a supplying liquid, with simple and reliable constitution. SOLUTION: An inlet port 12 liquid-communicated with a liquid supplying source, and an outlet port 11 liquid-communicated with a liquid using site are provided in a sensor main body 10. A float chamber 13 liquid-communicated with the inlet port 12 and the outlet port 11 is provided in parallel to a flow passage 14 for connecting the ports 11, 12. A float 16 connected to an alarm is provided in the float chamber 13. When the chamber 13 is filled with a liquid, a switch for generating a signal is not actuated, and, when the chamber 13 become empty, the float 16 goes down to operate the switch for generating a signal information a supplying liquid storage condition. The inlet port 12, the outlet port 11, the passage 14 and the float chamber 13 are integrally formed in the sensor main body 10 by drilling working.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact floor finishing agent application device capable of uniformly and efficiently applying liquid type floor finishing agent to a floor of a wide surface. SOLUTION: A device comprises a movable central unit (cart) 10 having a handle 11, a carrying means, and a supply source to transfer floor finishing agent through duct means 16a and 16b for liquid of a length of over 15m, a floor finishing agent application means 33, and a spray head 32. In this case, the spray head 32 is communicated with the duct means 16a and 16b through a valve with relation to liquid, and it is provided with a wand assembly having a surface provided with an aperture, of the maximum diameter of about 0.5-5 mm and a hole depth of 1-10 mm, from which liquid drip is substantially prevented, and composed in such a way that vacuum pick-up is not required.

    CPC classification number: B67D7/423 B67D7/74

    Abstract: A system for proportioning and dispensing concentrated liquid products is disclosed. The components of the system's first embodiment are mounted upon a cart (12). A concentrate solution tube (14) is interconnected to a dilution assembly (61) containing an aspirator (26). A water supply assembly (69), containing a valve (75) and backflow preventer (74), is connected to the aspirator assembly (26) when dilution of the concentrated product (13) is desired. A discharge tube (68) carries the diluted product from the aspirator assembly (26) to a container (60). The system's second embodiment has a spray gun assembly (150) containing an aspirator (167), a valve (166), and preferably though not necessarily, a backflow preventer (165). The concentrate pickup tube (114) attaches to the spray gun assembly (150) with a releasable connector (170). The spray gun assembly has a rigid delivery tube (153) for dispensing to large containers (160), and a nozzle tip (180) for attachment to an inlet port (119) of a jug (111). Also disclosed is a method for dispensing and handling solutions.

    Abstract: The alarm mechanism of the invention signals the absence of a liquid from a source of aqueous liquid. The alarm mechanism comprises an alarm body having an inlet port and an outlet port; the inlet port in liquid communication with a source of liquid, the outlet port in liquid communication with a use locus. The alarm mechanism additionally comprises a float chamber placed in liquid parallel communication with the inlet port and the outlet port. The float chamber contains a float operably connected to a mechanical alarm. The float, as the chamber is emptied of liquid, reaches a position wherein a "low or empty product" signa l is generated. The apparatus operates by passing liquid through the body. As liquid in the source of liquid is depleted and is no longer available for passage through the body, the body becomes emptied of liquid as the source of pressure removes liquid from the body and particularly from the chamber causing the float to reach a position generating a signal.

    Abstract: A liquid floor finish application applicator comprising a mobile unit and a wand unit. The mobile unit comprises a handle and wheels. In the cart is positioned one or more sources of floor finish, and a pump for delivering the floor finish to a length of liquid conduit. The wand comprises a distribution head typically a mop installation. The wand also comprises a spray head that can deliver the liquid floor finish to the floor. The conduit is in liquid communication with the wand. The spray head is configured to avoid dripping between finish application. The drip free head results from the aperture size of the spray aperture surface. The lengthy conduit between the cart and the wand permits ease of application by a two man team. A first man operates the cart while a second man operates the wand.
