US Patent:

20130008975, Jan 10, 2013

Filed:

Aug 31, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/602052

Inventors:

Sean P. Andersen - Phoenix AZ, US

International Classification:

B05B 17/08

US Classification:

239 12, 239 17

Abstract:

Disclosed is two-tier fountain with a continuous scupper. A continuous scupper is a 360-degree, unrestricted border (i.e., continuous), scupper in an upper basin that creates an inward flowing laminar sheet of fluid. A continuous scupper maintains a laminar flow for great distances so that the fluid falls in a circular cascade sheet. On reaching the lower basin, the fluid creates a limited amount of turbulence during entry and therefore a reduced splash. The continuous scupper may be circular, or may have simple to complex variations that create different forms of circular cascade sheets. The upper basin may be open to the atmosphere, or may be closed to create even more spectacular circular cascade sheets.

Appl. No.:

16/195407

International Classification:

F23D 14/30
F21L 17/00
F23D 14/58

Abstract:

A gas torch includes a base couplable to a gas source supplying gaseous fuel and gas ports formed in a top surface of the base to emit gas upwardly therefrom. A plurality of diverters is stacked in a spaced apart relationship directly above the base, each diverter having an inner edge and an outer edge. Each diverter is positioned above a lower diverter so that the inner edge and the outer edge are positioned intermediate one of the inner edge and the outer edge of the lower diverter. The lowest diverter, that which is adjacent the base, is positioned such that the gas ports are positioned directly underlying and intermediate the inner edge and the outer edge thereof.

Abstract:

Systems and apparatus for a water fountain that converts turbulent flow of a fluid to laminar flow. The water fountain may include a basin, a fluid distribution port, at least one water support, a fluid distribution media, and an annular scupper. The fluid distribution port may be located within the basin above the bottom and between the circular inner wall and the outer wall. The at least one water supply port may extend through the bottom and coupled to the fluid distribution port. The fluid distribution media may be located within the basin, between the circular inner wall and the outer wall, and above the fluid distribution port. The annular scupper may be located on top of the inner wall and capable of applying a surface tension to a fluid to thin the fluid into a continuous laminar sheet downward in a circular cascade sheet into a cascade chamber.
