Abstract: Liquids in general, and paint in particular, can be evenly distributed by a paint transfer drum having a friction-creating surface that is placed in contact with a friction-receiving surface of an endless belt that is driven (by the drum as it rotates) into and out of a container for the liquid. A scraper removes a portion of the lifted liquid from the endless belt. The scraped liquid falls upon a liquid distribution device that serves to evenly distribute said liquid laterally so that it will be evenly applied along the exterior surface of the paint transfer drum.

Abstract: A nozzle spray assembly for insecticide made in two halves that are connected together and define an internal reservoir. The lower half has an arcuate shaped exterior surface and includes an inlet tube in communication with the reservoir. The lower half also has nozzle openings adjacent the arcuate surface so that when air is directed over the arcuate surface past the nozzle openings fluid is sucked into the inlet tube and reservoir and out the nozzle openings to spray insecticide onto the surrounding area.

Abstract: A liquid spray nozzle assembly for an outlet pipe of an air blower, the nozzle assembly includes an outer annular member adapted to be secured to the outlet pipe, an inner member radially spaced from and secured to the outer member to define air flow passages, the inner member having a central opening and a lower surface with vanes extending therefrom; and a supply pipe extending into the central opening such that the air flowing through the central opening will act to shear the liquid exiting the supply pipe against the edge of the opening to break up the liquid into droplets that will be carried along in a dispersed pattern with the air flowing between the outer annular member and the inner member.

Abstract: A backpack frame for a power blower and yard treatment sprayer system is provided in one embodiment of the present invention. The frame includes a first portion and a second portion extending outwardly from the first portion. The second portion is adapted for carrying the power blower thereon and has a hollowed out section. A cavity is further defined by the hollowed out section of the second portion and defined for holding a yard treatment mixture. A supply pipe is provided with a first end in communication with the cavity and a second inlet end positioned externally for filling the cavity with the yard treatment mixture. A tube is also provided with a first end in communication with the cavity and a second exit end positioned externally from the frame and terminating into a flow of air defined by power blower. Lastly, the frame includes straps for attaching the frame on the back of an operator.

Abstract: A cap assembly for a container used for holding a liquid that is removed from the container, the cap assembly includes: a cap having a roof portion, a cylindrical skirt depending from an outer periphery defined by the roof portion, and a well extending from the roof portion into the cap. The well further has a wall terminating at a base structure, and the base structure has an aperture that is sized smaller than the well. The cap assembly also includes a filter sized to frictionally fit into the well section and the filter is air permeable and liquid impermeable. The cap assembly also includes a seal that has an opening sized to fit over the well and has a diameter substantially matching the internal diameter of the.

Abstract: A nozzle spray assembly for insecticide that can be readily connected to an outlet pipe of an air blower to conveniently spray an area free of insects. The assembly is fully portable and made of two halves that define nozzle openings that may or may not be adjustable. The high pressure air flowing past the nozzle openings draws insecticide from a container through the spray assembly and nozzle openings. The fluid sucked out of the nozzle openings is sheared across the upper surfaces of the nozzle openings and turned into micro-droplets and dispersed into the air from the blower, creating a mist flow that can be directed to the area of treatment. The assembly is provided with adjustable means for connecting it to various sizes of pipe. The assembly is portable or compact, highly effective and can be used with readily available equipment.
