  • Patent number: 5607082
    Abstract: A compression sprayer is provided with a bag in the tank for holding the product to be sprayed.

The folded bag is then mounted interiorially of the tank and filled with liquid to provide the solution to be sprayed. The bag unfolds as it is filled and thereafter is coupled with the tank outlet. An internally mounted pump assembly pressurizes the interior of the tank to compress the bag which collapses as the contained liquid is sprayed.

  • Patent number: 4509664
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a sprayer for insecticides. The sprayer consists of a tank and a cover assembly which includes an air pump for pressurizing the tank. The tank has a funnel-shaped neck which is engaged by the cover to form an air-tight enclosure. In order to insure that the cover does not separate suddenly when it is opened while the tank is still pressurized, the neck is provided with extrusions which do not permit the closure to separate from the tank as air is bleeding out of the tank.
