  • Patent number: 8123198
    Abstract: The present invention provides an ignition system for a pulse fog generator having a carburetor, a pump for pumping air into the carburetor, and a priming pump for directing a quantity of fuel into the carburetor. The ignition system includes an igniter operable on low voltage, a switch for activating and deactivating the igniter, and a grounding connection for grounding the igniter to the carburetor. The grounding connection includes structure for grounding the igniter including an igniter bracket and a ground wire assembly which couples to the igniter and to a location substantially near a sparkplug of the pulse fog generator.

  • Patent number: 5299737
    Abstract: A spraying device having an automatic flushing system. A pressurized tank of formulation is mounted on a wheeled frame and connected to a plurality of nozzles via a three-way valve. The valve is further connected to a container of flushing medium. A programmable controller operates the three-way valve to periodically interrupt formulation flow and allow flushing medium flow through the conduits and nozzles to prevent clogging thereof. A pair of liquid sensors in the formulation conduit detect cessation of formulation flow triggering a timer operating the three-way valve causing flow of flushing medium upon completion of the formulation application. The formulation tank includes a vertically adjustable outlet tube controlling the amount of applied formulation. A centrifugal fan blows air past the nozzles carrying the emitted droplets into the atmosphere.
