Abstract: A hand-held, battery-powered dispenser for pumpable materials such as lubricants and, in particular, lubricating grease, comprising a handle, a head, a barrel secured to the head holding a supply of lubricant and a plunger slideable within a bore in the head. The bore intersects an inlet port in communication with the barrel and is in communication with an outlet port for the delivery of the lubricant under pressure. The plunger is reciprocated in the bore through a pressure stroke and a return stroke by a motor in the handle operating a drive mechanism in the head connected to the plunger. The user operates the motor by actuating a switch in the handle which completes a circuit connecting rechargeable batteries in the handle with the motor. A flywheel in the drive mechanism permits significant reductions in the size and weight of the motor and batteries so that the dispenser can be light enough and small enough to be hand-held during operation, yet capable of delivering the lubricant under high pressure.

Abstract: A powered atomizer that repeatedly actuates a conventional manual pump-type atomizer. The powered atomizer is a motor driven unit contained within a housing which holds the atomizer spray head and pump stationary, and provides a mechanism to reciprocate the atomizer container relative to the stationary spray head and pump to actuate the atomizer. The housing is comprised of two separable sections that permits disassembly of the housing and replacement of spent containers. The atomizer container is reciprocated in the housing by means of an electric motor with a motor shaft. The rotary motion of the motor shaft is transformed into reciprocating vertical translatory motion by a cam and follower mechanism. An on-off switch controls the supply of power to the motor, and the container returns to its lowermost position when the motor is stopped, so that it can be manually operated.

Abstract: A portable pump spraying device includes a container for the liquid to be sprayed, a housing positioned above the container having a spraying chamber, a pumping unit to elevate the liquid to the spraying chamber, and a rotating disc in the spraying chamber to attenuate and impel the liquid by centrifugal force through an egress port in the housing. Interceptor baffles within the spraying chamber finely trim the liquid spray as it leaves the egress port and direct the excess liquid back to a reservoir for recirculation. The pumping unit includes a rod that is reciprocated by an eccentric on the rotating shaft on which the disc is mounted. The rod acts as a piston which on its suction stroke withdraws liquid from the container and on its compression stroke discharges the withdrawn liquid and forces it through a nozzle onto the disc in the spraying chamber.

Abstract: Apparatus for producing a fog/spray as a coating medium for articles. The apparatus comprises a trigger actuated gun having an inlet connected to a source of hydraulically pressurized spray fluid, wherein the pressurizing medium and drive source is itself driven by a compressible fluid such as air. The compressible fluid supply line to the drive source has mounted therein a flow sensing valve which actuates an air valve for controlling atomizing air supply to the applicator gun. The atomizing air supply to the applicator gun is coupled into a gun chamber downstream of the spray orifice so that fluid sprayed through the orifice becomes fogged by the pressurized air in the chamber.

Abstract: An apparatus for spraying a liquid material which includes a pistol gripped housing for a motor driven pump and forming an inlet, a receptacle adapted to be secured to the housing adjacent the inlet and a vacuum system member secured within the receptacle and adapted to be forced into sealing relationship with the inlet when the receptacle is secured to the housing whereby said pump means will force liquid from the receptacle through a nozzle attached to the housing.

Abstract: A high pressure fluid delivery system is disclosed in which two or more dump guns, each having a high pressure nozzle outlet and a low pressure dump outlet, may be connected to and operated from a single high pressure pump. Pressure responsive flow control apparatus is provided in the flow line between each gun and the pump to maintain a substantially constant load on the pump even though the dump guns are randomly operated. A motor control apparatus is also provided for controlling the speed of an engine driving the pump and this apparatus is connected to the pressure responsive control apparatus through a shuttle valve so that the engine idles when all of the guns are dumping, but automatically runs at a faster speed when one or more of the dump guns is actuated to provide a high pressure fluid blast.
