Abstract
An assembly for controlling the eductive dispensing of multiple chemical fluids is described. The assembly is designed to detachably engage with existing eductor valve assemblies as either an original part or as a replacement part. The assembly comprises a plurality of selector gears that rotatably engage with eductor valve assemblies. The selector gears are in communication with a control gear. When the assembly is attached to a plurality of eductor valve assemblies an individual can control the rotation of multiple valve assemblies by rotating a single control knob.
Claims11
An assembly for controlling eductive dispensing of multiple fluids from a plurality of sources, comprising:
- a housing;
- a gearing mechanism within said housing, said gearing mechanism comprising a control gear and a plurality of selector gears in communication with said control gear;
- and
- a plurality of eductors, each of said eductors having a selector valve assembly that is rotationally engaged with one of said selector gears such that rotation of said control gear rotates said selector gears and said selector valve assemblies.
An assembly for controlling eductive dispensing of multiple fluids from a plurality of sources, comprising:
- a gearing mechanism, said gearing mechanism comprising a control gear and a plurality of selector gears in communication with said control gear;
- and
- a control knob engaging with said control gear.
A method for controlling eductive dispensing of fluids from a plurality of fluid sources, comprising:
- engaging a gearing mechanism with a plurality of rotatable selector valve assemblies wherein said gearing mechanism comprises a single control gear, a plurality of selector gears in rotational engagement with said plurality of selector valve assemblies and in communication with said single control gear;
- rotating said control gear thereby rotating said selector gears and said selector valve assemblies to selectively establish fluid communication between said fluid sources and eductor assemblies associated with said selector valve assemblies;
- and
- actuating at least one of said eductor assemblies thereby selectively dispensing at least one fluid from said fluid sources.
