Abstract: A one time use non reusable sprayer includes a tank having a pump for pressurizing the liquid contents. A connection of the pump to the tank, if severed will result in destruction of the tank and pump to prevent reuse of the sprayer. The sprayer has a hose extending from the tank, a spray control valve and discharge nozzle for directing the spray.

Abstract: A compression sprayer is provided with a bag in the tank for holding the product to be sprayed. The bag may be initially provided in folded, collapsed, sealed condition containing the product in concentrated form. 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.
Abstract: A pump assembly for a compression sprayer includes a cylinder and a piston reciprocal therein with means for releasably latching the piston in its fully inserted position. An integral cup and spring are coupled with the inner end of the piston with the spring biased against the inner end of the cylinder to cooperate in urging the piston outwardly to maintain the piston in its latched position.
Abstract: A multiple nozzle and strap assembly is adapted to be coupled with a nozzle body of a sprayer. A strap has an opening for receiving the nozzle body and a nozzle for coupling with the nozzle body for obtaining a selected discharge pattern. Another strap can be provided with a different nozzle for obtaining another discharge pattern.
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.
