Inventor: LEER RICK L
IPC: B05B9/06
Filed: 2001-03-13
Abstract: A pressure sprayer (20) is pressurized automatically with movement of the
sprayer and maintains adequate pressure during non-movement to allow the
ejection of an amount of liquid before needing re-pressurization. The pressure
sprayer (20) includes wheels (30,32) that allow the pressure sprayer (20) to be mobile. A cam
is attached to the axle of the wheels which rotates with the rotation ofthe
axle/wheels (30,32). A pressure pump (78) is associated with the cam such that movement of
the cam causes the pressure pump (78) to pump liquid from a holding tank to an
accumulator (76) or directly to a spray wand in communication with the pump. The
liquid may be sprayed (ejected) from the accumulator (78) during both movement
(pumping) and non-movement (no pumping) of the sprayer (20), while the liquid may
be directly sprayed from the holding tank only during movement (pumping)
thereof. Thus, as the wheels (30,32) rotate due to moving the pressure sprayer (20), the cam
causes movement of the pressure pump (78) to fill the accumulator with the liquid
under pressure. The pressure pump (78) is adapted to obtain liquid from the holding
tank and provide that liquid to the pressure accumulator (71). A relief valve is
provided to relieve the buildup of pressure during movement of the wheels when
no spraying is taking place.

Abstract: A connection device  (70)  provides electrical connection between a stator motor  (50)  of an
x-ray tube and a stator cord  (56).  The connection device is connected with the x-ray tube
housing  (30)  by threading a threaded portion into a corresponding threaded aperture in the
housing to create a leak-tight seal. The threaded portion is rigidly connected with a
connecting portion, such as a bayonet socket, which receives a corresponding fitting  (102) 
of the stator cord. An electrical conduction path, hermetically sealed in the connecting
device, provides electrical connection between the socket and the interior of the housing.
The connection device allows the stator cord to be quickly connected or disconnected from
the housing yet provides a seal which resists leakage of cooling oil from the housing.

Abstract: The electronic security alarm system (1) of the
present invention detects the theft or loss of
valuable items of personal property, for example
briefcases, wallets, purses and such like. 
     The system includes an alarm unit (2) that
monitors one or more tag units (14a, 14b) each of
which is attached to a valuable item of property. 
     The alarm unit (2) has two main operating states.
In the first state, the alarm unit (2) registers new
tags (14a, 14b) when they are brought within a short
distance of the alarm unit (the first state detection
range (20)). In the second state these registered tag
units (14a, 14b) are monitored so that if any of them
are moved outside a second distance (22) (the second
state detection range) an alert is activated. 
     Once the alarm is activated it can be deactivated
by either bringing the missing item back into the
second state detection range (22) or by switching the
alarm unit (2) into the first state. 
     Additionally, items may be registered whilst the
alarm unit (2) is in the second state. This is
achieved by registering the newly detected item if it
passes within the first state detection range (20).
