  • Patent number: 7905428
    Abstract: A sprayer has a sprayer outlet and a pressurizable reservoir adapted to contain a fluid. The reservoir has an air-pressure outlet and a reservoir outlet, the reservoir outlet being in fluid connection with the sprayer outlet. Detachable, pressurizable tanks are adapted to contain a chemical, each tank having a chemical outlet and an air-pressure inlet. Each air-pressure inlet is in fluid connection with the air-pressure outlet of the reservoir for equalizing air pressure between the reservoir and each tank. A switch is adjustable between a plurality of settings for causing at least one of the chemical outlets to be in fluid connection with the sprayer outlet. A ratio valve is provided for selecting a fluid flow rate out of the selected outlet. Fluids flowing into the sprayer outlet from the outlets are mixed together prior to discharge from the sprayer outlet.

  • Patent number: 6896544
    Abstract: A battery cable assembly has a pair of electrical cables and at least one pair of clamps, each clamp being connected to one end of one of the cables for establishing electrical connection between the cables and electrical terminals of a battery. A light source is mounted on at least one of the clamps, the light source being powered by an electrical source that is independent of the battery and located remote to the clamps. A switch, which is located remote to the clamps, controls the flow of electricity from the electrical source to the light source, allowing an operator to selectively activate the light source for illuminating objects near the corresponding clamp prior to connection to the battery.
