  • Publication number: 20140224904
    Abstract: The present invention provides a foaming nozzle assembly for use with a sprayer. The foaming nozzle includes a nozzle head, a mesh screen, a screen retainer that securely connects the mesh screen to the nozzle head, a nozzle, and a cap nut that interconnects the assembly to a sprayer and retains the nozzle in stable position within the nozzle head and in fluid communication with the liquid in sprayer. The front end of the nozzle head is curved and the mesh screen and screen retainer are correspondingly shaped to create an arcuate spray distribution mechanism. The liquid from the sprayer is dispersed at high velocity by the nozzle towards the mesh screen. Upon impacting the mesh screen, the liquid foams as it exits the assembly.

  • Publication number: 20140117117
    Abstract: A sprayer system having a sprayer assembly adaptable to a variety of sizes and shapes of containers. The sprayer assembly includes a dual venturi in the flow conduit to provide even pressure and consistent flow in the spray volume. A metering device is coupled to the flow conduit for accurate and reliable regulation of mixture ratios. A dip tube, coupled to the fluid conduit, is adaptable to a variety of container orifices. In addition to acting as a conduit for passage of concentrate into the sprayer assembly, the dip tube may also be used as a cutting device to open the container into which it will be inserted. By adapting to a variety of container orifices, the dip tube allows the sprayer assembly to fit to a variety of containers.

  • Publication number: 20140034685
    Abstract: A sprayer that includes a tank for containing a liquid pesticide, herbicide, or the like, a pump for pressurizing the liquid contained within the tank, and a hose and wand assembly for dispersing the pressurized liquid onto an area of interest, such as weeds. The tank includes an opening formed through its top surface through which liquid can be poured into tank. A wide mouthed funnel defines the opening to assist in preventing fluid from spilling while being poured. The bottom of the tank is attached to a base unit that provides a reservoir for any liquids dripping on the exterior of the tank, while also providing a flared region in which the end of the wand can be positioned when not in use. A wand retaining clip is attached to the exterior of the funnel to secure the wand while not in use and further to direct the end of the wand into the flared region formed in the base of the unit.
