DISPENSING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR DISPENSING A MIXED FLUID

A dispensing assembly and method for preventing a lead-lag condition between first and second fluid components forming a mixed fluid includes a nozzle and a mixer insert connected to first and second barrels respectively containing the first and second fluid components. The nozzle has a nozzle inlet that includes first and second cavity portions. The mixer insert is positioned at least partially within the nozzle inlet to collectively define respective first and second passages. The first and second passages are adapted for directing the first and second fluid components into a nozzle bore of the nozzle for forming a pre-mixed fluid according to a predetermined ratio. The nozzle is further adapted to mix the pre-mixed fluid for dispensing the mixed fluid from the nozzle. 1. A nozzle for reducing or preventing a lead-lag condition while dispensing a mixture of a first fluid component and a second fluid component , comprising;a nozzle body having a nozzle inlet and a nozzle bore extending therethrough, the nozzle inlet including a first cavity portion adapted to receive the first fluid component and a second cavity portion adapted to receive the second fluid component, the first cavity portion configured to direct a first volume of the first fluid component into the nozzle bore and the second cavity portion configured to direct a second volume of the second fluid component into the nozzle bore, the first volume being less than the second volume,wherein the first and second cavity portions are adapted for directing the first and second fluid components into the bore according to a predetermined ratio.2. The nozzle of wherein the first cavity portion has a first cavity portion volume and the second cavity portion has a second cavity portion volume claim 1 , the first cavity portion volume being less than the second cavity portion volume.3. The nozzle of wherein the first cavity portion includes a ramped slot for directing the first fluid component into the nozzle bore.4 ...

Dual nozzle sprayer

A fluid spray apparatus includes an inlet and first and second outlets. A first actuator may communicate the inlet with at least one of the outlets. A second actuator also may communicate the inlet with at least one of the outlets. A passage network of the fluid spray apparatus communicates the first and second actuators with the first and second outlets. A diverter structure is disposed in the passage network. The diverter structure includes a first diverter structure arrangement. In the first diverter structure arrangement, the first actuator communicates the inlet with the first outlet and the second actuator communicates the inlet with the second outlet. The diverter structure also includes a second diverter structure arrangement. In the second diverter structure arrangement, the first actuator communicates the inlet with the second outlet and the second actuator communicates the inlet with the first outlet.

Systems and Methods for Applying Texture Material to Ceiling Surfaces

A method of dispensing sprayable material in a desired spray pattern using an actuator member, a resilient outlet member, and a movable member. The actuator member has a plurality of resilient finger projections. The resilient outlet member is arranged at least partly between the finger projections. The movable member is supported on the actuator member to form a dispensing path extending from the interior of the aerosol chamber to the exterior of the aerosol chamber through a valve assembly, the actuator member, and the outlet member. The movable member acts on the outlet member to deform the plurality of finger projections towards each other to alter an effective cross-sectional area of at least a portion of a dispensing path to control fluid flow along the dispensing path and thereby cause the sprayable material to be dispensed in the desired spray pattern.
