| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4463904 | Cold weather fluidic fan spray devices and method Liquid fan spray system for cyclically deflecting a liquid jet between extreme positions defined by a pair of end walls is assured of cold weather operation by expanding the liquid power jet. In the preferred embodiment, one boundary wall of the oscillato... | 08/07/1984 |
| 4437392 | Sweeping air stream apparatus and method In an automobile air flow system, air is forced through an air outlet element or nozzle (13, 21, 24) in a sweeping air stream pattern by an oscillating reed or vane member (42) supported solely at the downstream end (43) for air initiated oscillatory move... | 03/20/1984 |
| 4428277 | Oscillating reed and method There is disclosed an oscillating reed particularly for use in generating a sweeping or oscillating air flow pattern which is rendered clickless by limiting directions of bending of the reed element to an axis transverse to the direction of air flow. This... | 01/31/1984 |
| 4407032 | Washing method using a fluidic oscillator In a clothes washer, liquid pulses are delivered to a bucket or tank of water to create continuously re-circulating flow therein in a vertical plane. The flow carries the clothes in a tumbling action and the pulses agitate the clothes passing the pulse so... | 10/04/1983 |
| 4398664 | Fluid oscillator device and method A pair of liquid flow passages are formed in a chamber and liquid flow through the passages is alternately blocked and unblocked by alternately pulsating vortices which causes alternate pulsations of fluid flow through the pairs of liquid flow passages.... | 08/16/1983 |
| 4388950 | Fluid flow control element having movable valve and method A fluid flow control element is constituted by a fluidic amplifier having an interaction region shaped to provide side walls leading to a pair of fluid flow outlets. The fluid flow inlet for the fluidic amplifier has positioned adjacent thereto at least o... | 06/21/1983 |
| 4365540 | Underdash air sweep system for automobiles An underdash automobile air flow system having an oscillatory member which is rendered oscillatory solely by air flow, has the oscillations sustained, when the outlet is at least partially blocked, by a pair of laterally positioned underdash apertures or ... | 12/28/1982 |
| 4336909 | Oscillating reed and method There is disclosed an oscillating reed particularly for use in generating a sweeping or oscillating air flow pattern which is rendered clickless by limiting directions of bending of the reed element to an axis transverse to the direction of air flow. This... | 06/29/1982 |
| 4325235 | Washing apparatus In a clothes washer, liquid pulses are delivered to a bucket or tank of water to create continuously re-circulating flow therein in a vertical plane. Air is introduced into the water pulses and forms air bubbles in the tank which attract dirt particles an... | 04/20/1982 |
| 4250799 | Sweeping air stream apparatus and method In an automobile air flow system, air is forced through an air outlet element or nozzle in a sweeping air stream pattern by an oscillatory member that is supported for air initiated oscillatory movement in the flow path of the air from the source. The osc... | 02/17/1981 |
| 4227550 | Liquid oscillator having control passages continuously communicating with ambient air In a clothes washer, liquid pulses are delivered to a bucket or tank of water to create continuously recirculating flow therein in a vertical plane. The flow carries the clothes in a tumbling action and the pulses agitate the clothes passing the pulse sou... | 10/14/1980 |
| 4185777 | Fluidic spray device of simple construction A spray device comprises a fluidic element formed as recesses in a first surface of one member and sealed by abutting a second surface of another member against the first surface and pressing the two members together in a forced-fit arrangement. In order ... | 01/29/1980 |
| 4157161 | Windshield washer A windshield washer comprises a nozzle in which a liquid jet is formed and repetitively transversely swept before egressing from the nozzle body. The swept jet breaks up into liquid droplets which impinge upon a wide area of a windshield. In a preferred e... | 06/05/1979 |
| 4151955 | Oscillating spray device A fluid dispersal device utilizes the Karman Vortex street phenomenon to cyclically oscillate a fluid stream before issuing the stream in a desired flow pattern. A chamber includes an inlet and outlet with an obstacle or island disposed therebetween to es... | 05/01/1979 |
| 4122845 | Personal care spray device A personal care spray device, particularly suitable for use as a facial cleanser and massager, is connected to a faucet and issues a cyclically swept liquid jet against the user's body. A guard wall surrounds the jet outlet opening to prevent splashing an... | 10/31/1978 |
| 4052002 | Controlled fluid dispersal techniques A liquid spray is characterized by a liquid jet which is cyclically deflected at a high frequency such that it breaks up into a fan-shaped spray pattern in which the fluid distribution and droplet size can be controlled. Jet deflection is accomplished wit... | 10/04/1977 |
| 3973558 | Swept jet oral irrigator An improved oral irrigation technique is characterized by an oscillatory swept water jet issued to sweep back and forth at high frequencies across the user's gums and teeth. High frequency operation is achieved by oscillating the jet itself rather than th... | 08/10/1976 |
