DISPENSER WITH AIR MIXING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042468 titled 'DISPENSER WITH AIR MIXING
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a nozzle assembly that includes a mixing channel, an aerator, and a mixer. The mixing channel has an upstream and downstream end, with a housing wall and a mixer inside. The housing wall has an inlet portion and a tip orifice. The inlet portion receives a first and second material, while the tip orifice emits a plural component material. The mixer mixes the first and second materials into the plural component material. The aerator flows nucleation air downstream of the mixer into the flow of the plural component material.
- The nozzle assembly includes a mixing channel, aerator, and mixer.
- The mixing channel has an upstream and downstream end, with a housing wall and a mixer inside.
- The housing wall has an inlet portion and a tip orifice.
- The inlet portion receives a first and second material.
- The tip orifice emits a plural component material.
- The mixer mixes the first and second materials into the plural component material.
- The aerator flows nucleation air downstream of the mixer into the flow of the plural component material.
Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted
a nozzle assembly includes a mixing channel and an aerator. the mixing channel has upstream and downstream ends defining a flow direction through the mixing channel and includes a housing wall and a mixer. the housing wall defines a flow passage and includes an inlet portion and a tip orifice. the inlet portion disposed at the upstream end and configured to receive a first material and a second material. the tip orifice is disposed at the downstream end and is configured to emit a plural component material from the mixing channel. the mixer is disposed within the mixing channel and is configured to mix the first material and the second material into the plural component material. the aerator is configured to flow nucleation air to a location downstream of an upstream end of the mixer and into a flow of the plural component material.
