Abstract: A pump apparatus for a liquid sprayer is provided having a housing adapted to be releasably connected to a vessel containing liquid to be sprayed. The housing includes an upper portion and a lower portion releasably connected to the upper portion. The upper portion includes at least a pump and an electric motor for driving the pump. The lower portion includes at least a power supply for providing power to the motor.

Abstract: A child-resistant fluid delivery device, comprising a container for storing fluid to be dispensed by the fluid delivery device and a wand assembly connected to the container. The wand assembly having a nozzle at a distal end through which fluid may be dispensed and a child-resistant connector at a proximal end. A ratchet mechanism is formed on the exterior of the child-resistant connector to permit attachment of the connector to the container and thereafter prevent removal of the connector from the container. The nozzle is sealed by a removable, child-resistant cover that includes at least one member that engages the nozzle to resist removal therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve with a reciprocating piston between two oppositely-acting fluid balance chambers. The static and dynamic pressures of the fluid being dispensed creates a force in each balance chamber. However, these force vectors are of equal magnitude but opposite direction thereby resulting in no net force on the piston. This allows for the elimination of a spring compensating for fluid pressures on the piston. An internal flow passage is used within the piston so as to simplify the design and increase reliability.
