Appl. No.:

09/677635

Inventors:

Timothy E. Jackson - Lake Orion MI

Assignee:

ITT Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

B05D 104

US Classification:

427459, 427461, 427470

Abstract:

A corrosion resistant tube comprises a metal tube having an outer surface. A zinc layer is electrostatically bonded to the outer surface, wherein the zinc layer is selected from the group consisting of powdered zinc, powdered zinc nickel alloys, powdered zinc cobalt alloys, and powdered zinc aluminum alloys. One or more polymeric layers may be electrostatically bonded to the zinc layer, or to a surface treatment layer, wherein the polymeric layer(s) comprises powdered thermoplastic materials selected from the group consisting of powdered nylons, powdered fluoropolymers, powdered polyesters, and mixtures thereof. Optionally, the polymeric layer(s) may be electrostatically bonded directly to the outer surface. A process for producing corrosion resistant tubing may also contain the steps of electrostatically charging aerated particles of a powdered material in a fluidizing chamber and conveying grounded metal tubing through the charged particles, thereby uniformly coating the tubing outer surface, and heating the coated tubing.

International Classification:

B05B 110

US Classification:

2392841

Abstract:

A nozzle for a vehicle window washing system includes a stem releasibly attachable through an aperture in a vehicle panel. A through bore extends through the stem and receives a spring biased check ball. Ribs project inward into the bore for supporting the spring and for forming fluid flow paths exteriorly of the spring through the stem. A head having a fluid discharge bore is snap connected to the stem via a mating projection and recess. A flange projects intermediately between the ends of the stem and seats on a vehicle panel to isolate the snap connection between the head and the stem from the mounting connection between the stem and the vehicle panel. A secondary connection is provided by a plurality of projections extending outward from the flange into recesses in a peripheral side wall of the head. A seal is mounted between the stem and the head.
