  • Patent number: 6045067
    Abstract: A portable fluid dispenser apparatus for dispensing fluids on the ground. The apparatus has a lightweight rigid frame structure interconnecting a forward wheel with to a rear connected pressurized fluid container. A fluid conveying tube provides a fluid communication conduit between the fluid container and the top of the ground engaging front wheel. The tube's front end is opened and located above the wheel to dispense the pressurized fluid under and adjacent to the path to be immediately followed by the movable forward wheel. In this manner the deposited formed fluid path is substantially the same width as the width of the wheel. One use of the invention is to form a chemically deposited formed weed killer edge around the perimeter of a grassy or garden area similar to that formed by an electric or mechanical edger. Other fluids used in ground control such as fertilizers and pesticides, may also be used with this invention whenever a narrow wheel defined fluid deposition path is desired.
