DE WANE B. SMITH, OF DEERFIELD, NEW YORK.

SPRAYER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 651,938, dated June 19, 1900.

Application filed J une 5, 1899. Serial No. 719,368. (No model.)

To all whom it 11i/ty concern,.-

Be it Vknown that I, DE WANE B. SMITH, of Deerfield, in the county of Oneida and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sprayers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and gu res of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

The object of my present invention is to provide further improvements in sprayers.

In the drawings, Figure 1 shows a perspective View of a sprayer ofmy improved con-- struction. Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section of the same.

Referring to the reference letters and figures in a more particular description of the device, 1 indicates the cylinder or barrel, in which is located a plunger 2, secured on the inner end of the piston-rod 3. The pistonrod 3 passes out through the cover 4 and is provided with a handle 5, by means of whichV the plunger may be conveniently operated. In the end of the cylinder or barrel there is provided a head (i, which, as shown, is provided with two openings or blow-holes a. Beneath the cylinder there is arranged a receptacle-casin g 7, secured directly to the barrel at 8 and also by a hanger 9, which places the casing at an acute angle with the axis of the barrel. The casing 7 is preferably cylindrical and receives the receptacle lO, which is preferably of glass or transparent material and of a cylindrical form. In line with the axis of the casing 7 and at the end of the barrel 1 there is secured a receptacle head or cap 1l. The flange 11a of the cap is so arranged with reference to the end of the cylinder l that the head of the cap stands in advance of the head-V of the cylinder, substantially as shown. The flange lla of the cap is also preferably provided with a rolled-in screw-thread which is adapted to receive a screw-thread on the endof the receptacle 10. The arrangement is preferably such that the cap is of a less diameter than that of the body of the recep- Ifacle, and the end of the receptacle which receives the cap 11 is correspondingly reduced -ing 7.

to adapt the same to the cap. The head of the cap 11 is preferably made dishing or coucave, as shown at 11b, having a hole in the center and forming a convenient funnel for filling the receptacle. The hole mentioned may be stoppedvby a corkor stopper 12. From points approximate to the openings a in the head of the cylinder there extend suctiontubes b b through the projecting portion of the flange 11a of the cap or head to points approximating the opposite side of the cap. These tubes w-ithin the cap are perfectly bent to avoid the opening closed by the stopper 12.

On the under side of the casing 7 there is provided a transverse bar 13, secured to the casing and forming a sort of foot, -which will maintain the device in upright position when it is placed upon ahorizontal surface.

In the construction as shown the receptacle 10 -is removable by unscrewing it from the flange 11a and withdrawing it from the cas- This removable feature provides a ready access to the interior of the receptacle either for cleaning purposes or otherwise and also allows a new receptacle to be readily inserted in case of breakage. Y

Sprayers of this class are in the main used for spraying with a mixture of paris-green and water. The paris-green is not in solution and-without constant agitation quickly forms a heavy sediment in the lowest point of the receptacle. It will be understood that in using a sprayer of this class it is held in the hand of the operator, with one hand preferably grasping the barrel l substantially above the receptacle and the other operating the same by the handle 5. In theusual mode of operation the sprayer gets a longitudinal swinging movement, by which, with the elongated form of the cylindrical receptacle l0 and the reduced forward end thereof, a churning motion is maintained within the receptacle, which keeps the paris-green thoroughly in sus- Aside from this, when the use of the sprayerisdiscontinued and it is placed on a surface substantially as shown in Fig. 1 the paris-green settles in the lowest portion of the receptacle and not in close proximity to the intake ends of the suctiontubes b, where the thick paris-green will be discharged upon the sprayer again being put into operation before there has been a suii- IOO kIo

In addition to protecting and supportingl the receptacle the casing also serves to direct the threaded or attaching end to the cap when replacing the receptaeleI It is evident that the form ofconstruction may be modified in several particulars with-v out departing from the spirit of in y invention.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure line withsaid head or cover, a receptacle and l a Suction-tube extending from a point approximate a blow-hole inthe cylinder into the receptacle through the said head or cover, substantially as set forth.

2. The combination in a sprayer of a cyl-V inder and plunger, a receptacle head or cap secured at the end of the cylinder, a longitudinally-arranged detachable receptacle adapted to be secured to said head or cap, and a suction-tube passing through' the ,sa-idvcap or head from a point approximatea blow-hole at ythe end of the cylinder to a point within the receptacle, substantially as set' forth.

3. The combination in a sprayer of a cylinder and plungerand a flanged receptacle cap or head secured at Athe end of the cylinder, a suction-tube passing through the cap, a receptacle-casing secured to the cylinder and coincidingaxially with the cap and the receptacle, lsubstantially asset forth.

4. The combination in a sprayer 0f a cylinder and plunger, a receptaclecap'or head secured to the cy1inder,"a receptacle, a receptacle-casing and a suction-tube passing from a point approximate to a blow-hole in the cylinder into the receptacle, substantially asset forth.

Iny witness whereof I have aftixed my sigp nature, in presence oftwo witnesses, thisv 31st day of May, 18,99. n
