Publication number: 20200282410Abstract: A nozzle adapter for a manually adjustable liquid spray nozzle and which includes features that facilitate use and protects the user from possible fluid exposure. The nozzle adapter includes a bell-shaped feature that funnels any liquid dripping from the end of the nozzle away from the user, and further includes a series of drip edges, dams, and liquid pathways that further divert any leaked liquids away from the user. Finally, the adapter includes a user touch point for adjusting the spray pattern of the nozzle that is positioned radially outwardly a greater distance than the nozzle outlet to further enhance the protective properties of the nozzle adapter.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2020Publication date: September 10, 2020Applicant: The Fountainhead Group, Inc.Inventors: David Denmat, Jeffrey Spooner, Mario Restive

Patent number: 9302283Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2014Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: The Fountainhead Group, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Plantz, Mario Restive

Publication number: 20130092748Abstract: A hose attachment particulate spreader device is provided that includes a housing having a particulate egress aperture. A first funnel channel is provided for conveying dry flowable particulate. A selector controls a first gate in communication with the first funnel channel. The first gate meters dry flowable particulate within the first funnel channel. A water inlet is also provided for engaging a water supply hose. A water trigger is included for simultaneously opening a second gate in communication with the first gate and the egress aperture, as well as applying a water spray to exhaust a content from the funnel hose out the egress aperture. A process for field spreading is provided that includes attaching a bottle to such a device, the bottle containing a content of a dry flowable particulate or a slurry.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2012Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: The Andersons, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Waggoner, Mario Restive, Tom Remms, Mark Graham, Steve Domik

Publication number: 20070205230Abstract: A fluid dispensing system includes a container, a pump assembly and a bleed valve. The pump assembly is connected to the container selectively pressurizing the container and includes an outlet port. The outlet port has a check valve precluding flow from the container through the outlet port. The bleed valve is in communication with an aperture formed through the container. The bleed valve relieves excess pressure in the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2007Publication date: September 6, 2007Applicant: The Fountainhead Group, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Arcuri, Mark Cushman, George Mitchell, Mario Restive

Publication number: 20070175928Abstract: A fluid dispensing system includes a pump assembly for pressurizing a low cost container, the container non reversibly connected to a coupler module. A wand assembly is releasably connected to the coupler module. A discharge conduit fluidly connects the wand assembly to the container to displace a check valve in the pump assembly to permit flow from the pump assembly. The wand assembly includes a grip body slideable relative to the discharge conduit between a retracted storage position and an extended operable position.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2006Publication date: August 2, 2007Applicant: The Fountainhead Group, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Arcuri, Mark Cushman, George Mitchell, Mario Restive
