Abstract:
The nozzle clog detection device, system, and method detect if a liquid flows through a nozzle via conduction of electricity. The clog detector provides an open circuit at an opening between two conductors. The two conductors are placed in the flow path of a liquid flowing from a nozzle. The liquid from the nozzle conducts electricity. The liquid flowing through the opening between the conductors closes the circuit. An alert system notifies the user whether liquid is flowing through the nozzle. The system detects flow of liquid from multiple nozzles and identifies the nozzles from which liquid flows. A break in the circuit at the opening between the conductors indicates that the liquid is not flowing sufficiently enough to close the circuit.

Claim (Index 7):
The device of  claim 1  further comprising:\n a first detection body providing the first conductor and two additional conductors wherein the conductors of the first detection body are electrically connected to each other, the first detection body electrically connected to the power source; \n a second detection body providing the second conductor and two additional conductors wherein the conductors of the second detection body are electrically connected to each other, the second detection body electrically connected to the power source; and \n the opening located between the conductors of the first detection body and the conductors of the second detection body wherein the opening creates the open circuit such that the conductors of the first detection body do not contact the conductors of the second detection body.
