Abstract
A portable liquid recirculating display device including a housing with a cavity to contain a liquid, a pump to impel the liquid, and at least one laminar stream generator located within the cavity and fluidly connected to the pump.
Claims41
A portable liquid recirculating display device comprising:
- a housing having a cavity adapted to contain a liquid;
- a pump adapted to impel the liquid;
- and
- at least one laminar stream generator fluidly connected to the pump.
1 more element
A portable liquid recirculating display device comprising:
- a housing having a cavity adapted to contain a liquid;
- a pump adapted to move the liquid;
- a plurality of laminar stream generators fluidly connected to the pump;
- and
- a controller operably connected to each of the plurality of generators to adjust each of the plurality of generators between a first position allowing a laminar stream to exit the housing and a second position preventing the laminar stream from exiting the housing.
2 more elements
A laminar stream generator for a portable liquid recirculating display device including a housing adapted to contain a liquid, the generator comprising:
- a canister including a cavity having an inlet adapted to receive the liquid from the housing and an outlet adapted to discharge a laminar stream of the liquid from the canister;
- and
- a shutter movable between a first position where the shutter is positioned away from the outlet adapted to allow the laminar stream to exit the canister, and a second position where the shutter is positioned over the outlet and adapted to prevent a laminar stream from exiting the housing.
