Replaceable Tip For A Nozzle
US Patent:
6145764, Nov 14, 2000
Filed:
Oct 29, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/430523
Inventors:
Daniel Gonzalez - East Earl PA
James W. Smith - Reading PA
Donald R. Rutherford - Honey Brook PA

Assignee:
RV Industries, Inc. - Honey Brook PA
International Classification:
B05B 1508, F23D 100
US Classification:
2395876
Abstract:
A nozzle assembly includes a readily replaceable nozzle tip which is replaced within a firnace adjacent an installed furnace-side end of a supply nozzle. The nozzle tip is provided with a pair of opposed, spring-loaded pivot pins which snap into apertures in the wall of a stationary nozzle conduit to removably secure the tip to the conduit. The pivot pin connection permits tilting of the tip relative to the stationary conduit in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis extending through both pivot pins. A link arm used for tilting the nozzle tip has a hook-shaped end which connects to a pin extending from the nozzle tip. The hook-shaped end of the link arm permits removal of the nozzle tip without having to remove the link arm from a lever assembly.

Assignee:
R-V Industries, Inc - Honey Brook PA
International Classification:
F04B 23/08, A61L 2/00, A61L 9/00
US Classification:
417 88, 422 26, 422292
Abstract:
In a vacuum unit for use in drawing a vacuum on a steam sterilizer, a pump circulates water through an ejector and a reservoir. Fresh water is injected at the pump inlet to maintain a low temperature in the ejector so that it can operate efficiently. Excess water is taken from a location adjacent the bottom of the reservoir through an internal dip tube, and passed through a U-shaped conduit that serves as a condensate trap. To maintain the water discharge temperature below a predetermined level, fresh water is injected into the U-shaped conduit through a valve controlled by a temperature sensor downstream from the water injection point.
