A.The embodiment of the inventionl herein shown ls intended primarilyfor the purpose of .spraying clothes to dampen the same prior to ironing, butit will be understood that the' invention Yis .35 by no meanslimited `to this particular applicavtio'n and the features thereof may be--embodied in spraying devices for numerous purposes. This embodiment" includes a vessel having side walls 1,
inI this. instance of 'cylindrical cross-section ta- 4'0 pering inwardly from bottom to top'as shown in Figure 1', a bottom 8, and an open top 9. The side wallsare constricted adjacent the open top Ato provide a threaded neck portion I l and atrans-A ,yerseannular ring i2 for a purpose presently to '45, bedescribed. The: vessel is 'in this instance.
formed'of sheet metal and the vbottoni Bis in sertedginto the bottom eno of the oynndrioal side wal1s`1.. and welded or otherwise ailixed theretol as-'shown -at I3 so as to'be water and air tight.'
ofThe bottoml 8 slopes upwardtoward the longi vtudinal `center line of the vessel in the manner of 1 a 'cone and has an upwardlyextending cylindrical 'flange I4 at the center screw threaded .on itsinner surface for the reception of the threaded 55 end l5 of a plug or closure designatedgenerally Another aim of the invention is the provision of by the numeral is.' 'me bottom s also has small j openings I1. andI I8 adjacent the ilangel4. vThe plug I6 has' a cone-shaped face i8 complemental #to the curvature of the lbottom 8 adapted for the reception of a gasket 2| in'such manner'that 5 when the plugy I8 vis screwed into thetlange 'I4 by means of a wing 22, the portion 8 will press the gasket 2| ilrmly against the bottom closingv the openings I1 and I8 as well asthe main opening dened by theilange I4. 10
T'he neck portion Il is .threaded on its outer surface for the reception of a body portion des'- .ignated generally by the numeral 23 which is the provision of a cast bodyl member as shown in Figure 1 uponwhich the remainder of the sprayer is assembled in such manner as to materially'25 :simplify and reduce the cost of construction and at the same time to enhance the efdciency thereof.
The body member 23 has a centrally disposed bore within which a pump cylinder 21` has'a press fit, the cylinder projecting slightly beyond the upper l0 side of the body as shown at 28 and being screw threaded on its outer -surface for the reception -of a cap 28 which abuts against the upper end of thebody and acts as a closure for the pump cylinder, the cap having openings-8| -for'the 35 passage `of air into the cylinder. The body has a channel 32 extending through the nozzlesupf port 25 and communicating with an annular recess. of the central bore. A channel 84 connects the annular recess to a laterally disposed 40 bore 35 into which also terminates abore -36 extending to the' interior of the vessel, the bore 86 being extended downward by a pipe 31 which has a pressy nt inthe lower surface oi the body mem-` ber'and terminates adjacent the junction ofthe 45 sidewalls 1 and bottom 8 on the side of the4 j vessel beneath the nozzle support. 25. The lower end ofthe pipe 3 1 has a cup-like flange 88 ar' ranged to support a ne screen' (Flg.-53) to prevent *the passage of large .particles o! solids 50 into the`pipe. The bore l35 provides at valve chamber opening into a recess 4I inl the handle and has a sleeve .42 threaded therein which serves to 'confine and clamp a valve diaphragm 48 at its l edges. The diaphragm 43 may be made 'of any 55 resilient or ilexible material suitable for the purpose herein disclosed, though I prefer to use rubberized canvas or one of the various forms of composition packing, a suitable form being Garlock" No. 7561 packing. An annular recess 44 is formed in the end of the bore 85 to-provide an annular shoulder 45 for the purpose of retaining the diaphragm at its annulus, a washer 48 being positioned between the end of the sleeve 42 vand the packing for this purpose. 'Ihe recess 44 also provides an upraised shoulder 41 around the bore 34 for sealing contact oi' the diaphragm 48.- A
' pin 48 is slidably positioned within .the sleeve 42v with its inner end positioned to bear against the diaphragm in such manner that when forced inward to the extremityof its movement the end of the pin urges the diaphragm against the shoulders 41 so as to prevent the flow of liquid. between the channels 34 and 38. The.outer end of the Din 48 is recessed as shown at 48 for the reception of the slotted end 5I of a` lever designated generally by the numeral 52. The end of the Vlever has a slot 53 within whi'ch the portion of 'the pin 48. of reduced diameter is receivable so that upon .25 tilting movement of the lever the end thereof will abut against either side of the slot 48 so as to urge the pin 48 inward or outward. The lever 52 is rotatably carried on a pin 54 which is positioned in the sides of the recess 4| through ears 55, the` pin 54 Vbeing positioned therein at a point below the longitudinal center line of the pin 48 so that when the right hand end of the lever 52 facing Figure 1 is urged upward by means of a spring 56, the pin 48 is urged inward to prevent the ilow of liquid between the channels, and when the lever is manually depressed by the vthumb .45 cates with the channel 32 is a spray tip 62 comprising a cylinder loosely received in the bore 58 and having a plurality of helical grooves 83 on'lts outer surface for the passage of fluid to ,impart suitable directional characteristics thereto,
50 Positioned within the pump cylinder 21 is a plunger mechanism including a 'plunger rod 84.
having a knob 65 attached t the upper end thereof and adapted to be reciprocated from above the body member for the purpose of pumping a small 55 amount of air into the vessel and thus placing a pressure upon the liquid therein. A coiled spring 88 is positioned on the rod 84 in a position to cushion the movement of the plunger at the,
upper end of its stroke. Adjacent the lower end 60- of the rod 64 is an annular collar 81 (Fig. 4) -ilxed to the plunger and a gasket 88 which bears against the lower side of the collar, the. plunger being slightly reduced in diameter atthis point to 'provide a shoulder 69. A plunger head 1| is posi- 65 ltioned on the rod below the gasket68 and has a bore 12 somewhat larger than the rod for the passage of air on the junction therebetween. The body is retained thereon by means of a nut 1 8 at the lower end of the rod. The piston head car- 70 riesv the usual sealing leather 14 retained on the head by means of a washer 15 which is in turn held in position by an upset portion 18 on the head. When the plunger rod 64 is reciprocated,` the nut 13 serves to draw the plunge` head up- :5 Ward upon' the upward movementof the rod permating air to' pass :rem the upper ende: the cylinder to the lower e'nd.` Upon the initial downward movement of the, plunger rod the compressed.
The lower end of the pump cylinder 21 carries a transverse wall 11 having a centrally disposed opening 18 within which is positioned a pin 18 having heads 8| and 82 on opposite `ends thereof.
'I'he head 82 carries a gasket 83 ladapted to bear against the lower side of the end 11 so as to cover the openingl 18, and a spring spider 84 acts between the bottom 11L and thehead 8| to normallyv urge the valve formed by these-elements into the closed position as shown in Fig. 4. It will be seen that upon downward movement of l the plunger and the associated compression of air in the lower part` of the cylinder, the valve will be forced vopen by the increase of. pressure against the tension of the spring 84, thereby allowing passage of a'ir out of the pump cylinder into the vessel. It will further be observed that the opening 18 will be closed immediately, upon the reduc tion of pressure within the cylinder toa .predetermined point, thus preventing the entrance of i liquid into the cylinder from the vessel. J
In operation, the sprayer is inverted,.-.-the plug I8 removed and liquid is introduced into the vessel until filled to the level of the'openi'ngs I1 and I8. During this operation the central threaded opening defined by the flange I4 and the holes I1 and I8 cooperate functionally in that the liquid passes in through .the central opening and air out through thefiopenings I1 and I8. holes also serve an additional function in defining the proper maximum level of liquid in the container and cooperate with the sloping bottom wall 8 in retaining a suillcient amount' of air space in the vessel to permit vof the proper application of pressure thereto. When lled, the plug I6 is re-inserted and tightened,
the sprayer is placed on its base and the handle 85 is reciprocated, causing air to be drawn through the openings 3|, pass throughthe pump cylinder and throughv the valve opening 18 at the bottom thereof intol the vessel, thus generating Va sufficient head of air pressure at the top of the vessel. WithY the sprayer in this condition, depression of the lever 12- by the thumb of the operators hand in which the sprayer is carried serves to withdraw thel pin 48, whereby the pressure of liquid passing upward through the tube 81 and the channel 36 causes the diaphragm to be nioved away from the end of the channel 34 so that the liquid may ilow from the channel 38 to the channel 84, thence through the annular recess 38, the channel 32 and out through the orifice 8| from whichI it emerges under considerable pressure causing a very fine spray or mist.
When the lever 52 is released, the flow of liquid' ceases by action of the pin 48 forcing the diaphragm against the shoulder 41.
Attention is directed to the simplicity of construction which makes itfpossible to manufacture the Vsprayer at very Small cost. The entire mechanism is carried on a cast metal body portion 23 which is bored to provide suitable channels, the nozzle support 25 and handle 26 being cast integral and forming a part of the body member. By this means the operating parts including the pump and the diaphragm valve may be assem- These r 76 therein and to provide foraccess to'v the valve chamber `oninstallation and replacement of the bled as a unit, and thereafter thevv'essel sus- "pended from the body member. The pump is positioned in the center of the body member and passes therethrough so as to provide a long stroke on the .pump which extends through a greater portion of the height of the sprayer. It
will be observed that the top of the body is -recessed to provide for receiving the operating lever and also for providingaccess to the chamber in which the movable valve member is4 being positively actuated into a closing position i by operation of the lever 52 and being moved to the open position by the pressure on the liquid. Attention is further directed to the construction of the pump plunger, particularly in the arrangement between the rod and the head whereinthe rod moves a short distance with respect to the head at the end of the stroke.7 -Through this arrangement the plunger may be moved to its lower-most position so that the knob 65 con- .tacts the upper surface of the cap 29 while pressure is present in the vessel. It will be understood that when the pump is operated to raise 85 the pressure of the vessel there will always 'be remaining at the last downstroke of the plunger a' .small amount of airin the lower end of the cylinder which' is under relatively high pressure so that when "the knob 65 is released the plunger 40 will be urged upward under the expansion of the residual air. With the present construction the lplungermay be movedto its lower position by simply rotating the knob 65 while applying a very light'pressure, which operation permits thear in the lower end of the cylinder to move upward along the rod through-the bore 12 and past the packing 68.
While I have thus described and illustrated aA speciilc embodiment of the invention I am aware l that numerous alterations and\changes may be made therein within the Aspirit of the invention and I do not wish to be limited except as required by the prior art and the scope of. the appended claims in whichr I claim:
