Abstract
A dispensing device for dispensing a material. The dispensing device includes a somewhat cup-shaped interior opening in a first direction in which the material is to be dispensed from the dispensing device. The interior terminates at a discharge edge. The dispensing device further includes a skirt extending from the discharge edge in a second direction generally opposite the first direction. The skirt includes multiple passageways substantially equally spaced around a perimeter of the skirt.
Claims32
A dispensing device for dispensing a material, the dispensing device defining a somewhat cup-shaped interior that opens in a first direction in which the material is to be dispensed from the dispensing device, the interior terminating at a discharge edge, and a skirt extending from the discharge edge in a second direction generally opposite the first direction, the skirt including a first side and a second side, and at least one passageway extending through the skirt from the first side to the second side.
A dispensing device for dispensing a material, the dispensing device having means for mounting the dispensing device on a rotator for rotating the dispensing device to aid in dispensing the material, said device defining a somewhat cup-shaped interiors that opens in a first direction in which the material is to be dispensed from the dispensing device, the interior terminating at a discharge edge, and a skirt extending from the discharge edge in a second direction generally opposite the first direction, and a housing, the housing including a feature cooperating with the skirt, the dispensing device being movable relative to the housing, the skirt and feature at least partly enclosing a region defined between the housing and the dispensing device.
In combination, a dispensing device for dispensing a material, the dispensing device including means for mounting the dispensing device on a rotator for rotating the dispensing device to aid in dispensing the material, a housing surrounding the dispensing device, the housing and dispensing device including cooperating first and second features, the dispensing device being movable relative to the housing, the first and second features at least partly enclosing a region defined between the housing and the dispensing device, the cooperating first and second features include a skirt and a groove for receiving the skirt.
In combination, a first source of a compressed gas or mixture of gases, a second source of material to be dispensed, a rotator, a dispensing device mounted on the rotator for rotation thereby, the second source being coupled to the dispensing device, a housing surrounding the dispensing device, the housing and dispensing device including cooperating first and second features, the first and second features at least partly enclosing a region defined between the housing and the dispensing device, one of the first and second features including at least one passageway, the first source being coupled to the region, compressed gas from the first source being exhausted from the region through the passageway.
