  • Patent number: 10946397
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an intake assembly, the intake assembly including a connector, the connector configured for coupling to a pressurized liquid source. The apparatus also includes a chemical storage assembly. The chemical storage assembly is coupled to at least one outlet of the intake assembly. The chemical storage assembly is configured for at least one of (a) storing a chemical or (b) mixing a chemical with a liquid from the pressurized liquid source. The apparatus further includes an outlet assembly. The outlet assembly includes a first outlet configured for expelling pressurized liquid from the pressurized liquid source in a first direction. The outlet assembly also includes a second outlet or a nozzle for expelling the chemical, the chemical mixed with the liquid, a chemical agent, or a foam mixture in a second direction.

The chemical storage assembly is configured for at least one of (a) storing a chemical or (b) mixing a chemical with a liquid from the pressurized liquid source. The apparatus further includes an outlet assembly. The outlet assembly includes a first outlet configured for expelling pressurized liquid from the pressurized liquid source in a first direction at a rate sufficient to induce approximately lateral movement of the apparatus. The outlet assembly also includes a second outlet configured for expelling at least one of the chemical or the chemical mixed with the liquid.

  • Patent number: 8535757
    Abstract: A method includes loading a chemical agent into a spray apparatus and inserting the spray apparatus into an environment. The method also includes propelling the spray apparatus with a pressurized fluid from a pressurized fluid source in a longitudinal direction within the environment. The method also includes mixing the chemical agent with the pressurized fluid from the pressurized fluid source to generate a mixed chemical agent. The method also includes retrieving the spray apparatus in a direction opposite the longitudinal direction within the environment. The method further includes dispersing the mixed chemical agent from the spray apparatus during the retrieving of the spray apparatus.
