  • Patent number: 6976644
    Abstract: A spray nozzle mounts to an extension pole end in a swivel joint. A swivel nozzle base connects to the pole and a manifold swivelly couples the base to a swivel nozzle head such that pressurized fluid passing through the pole passes into the base, through the manifold, into the head and then out of an orifice in the head through a spray tip attached to the head at the orifice. All fluid seals, O-rings, are also protected within the base. To effect head rotation and to hold the head in a preferred orientation relative to the base, a lever is attached to the head to the manifold firmly attached to the head. To move the lever on the distal end of an extension pole, it is connected to a rod that runs between the lever and an actuator on the pole. Typically, the actuator comprises a grip around the pole that slides along the pole when exercised by an operator. A spray gun is normally attached to the pole proximal end with a trigger that regulates high-pressure fluid into the pole.

  • Patent number: 6572034
    Abstract: The structure of a spray gun of the present invention is basically composed of a hook, a pin, a spray gun and a retaining ring. The top portion of the spray gun has a trough to receive the hook therein. The trough has a connecting ridge at one end with a through hole at the center portion thereof. The hook comprises a hole at one end, in correspondence to the through hole of the connecting ridge, and is secured by inserting a pin through the hole of the hook and the through hole of the connecting ridge, this allows the hook to change its angle position with respect to the trough.

  • Patent number: 6450423
    Abstract: A spray can remote control has a body holding and registering the can at a raised top wall portion, and a control mechanism including an actuator guided parallel to a nozzle axis of movement, a branched flexible lanyard for coupling a pull cord, flexible branches of the lanyard connected through a pair of guide rods to opposite ends of the actuator, whereby downward movement of the coupling produces corresponding downward movement of the guide rods and the actuator member without imparting side force to the nozzle button. Respective helical compression springs on the guide rods upwardly bias the actuator member, and stationary guides below the guide rods prevent side forces on the guide rods. The device also has an adjustable handle member, and a pair of sheaves for offsetting the lanyard to facilitate precise control with minimal frictional drag.

  • Patent number: 6322006
    Abstract: A sprayer device includes a tube extended from a sprayer member and a hose coupling the tube to a water reservoir. A pipe is slidably engaged on the hose and the tube. A control ferrule is engaged on the pipe and has an inclined inner peripheral surface for adjustable forcing and securing the pipe to the tube. One or more conduits may further be adjustably secured to the pipe. The pipe and the conduit may be easily and quickly adjusted relative to the tube and the pipe respectively and will not affect the water tight seal between the hose and the tube.

  • Patent number: 5775595
    Abstract: A sprayer apparatus for dispensing liquid fertilizer, weed control or liquid insecticide from an elongated storage tube using one hand. A see-through plastic storage tube has a spray nozzle one end and a handgrip with trigger on the opposite end. Compressing the trigger moves a trigger rod to move a piston that forces gravity fed liquid through the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle can be located in a housing having a convex curved outer surface along with a wheel protruding from the bottom surface of the housing. The wheel can have conical side edges and a flat exterior side. Alternatively, the wheel can have rounded outer edges. Visible markings on the exterior of the plastic storage tube can tell the user the remaining amount of the liquid stored inside. An optional protruding handgrip can be located halfway down the storage tube for allowing the device to be controlled by two hands. A second version includes a two way valve located inside the storage tube.

  • Patent number: 5464155
    Abstract: A safety air gun that discourages tampering with safety vent holes comprises an internal air channel for delivering pressurized air to a work area. The internal air channel has an expansion chamber of increased cross-sectional area, with an outlet nozzle being positioned at one end of the chamber and an inlet tube extending into the chamber from an opposite end of the chamber. The inlet tube and outer nozzle have ends that are closely spaced across a gap. The expansion chamber also has side vent holes that both relieve dead end pressure and admit ambient air into the pressurized air stream. The gap spacing and outlet contour are such that the air force from the outlet is lower when the vent holes are blocked than when the two vent holes are open.
