Continuation of application Serial No. 115,501, filed July 14, 1902.

Specification of Letters Patent.

, Iatented April 17, 1906. This application filed September 14,1903. Serial No. 173,202.

State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements 1n Sprayers, of

which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in sprayers.

The objects of this invention are, first, to

rovide an improved spraying device in which the spray may be easily and effectively applied to low-growing plants, such as vines and the like; second, to provide an improved spraying device which is convenient to handle and easy to operate; third, to provide an improved spraying device which, though light and simple in structure, is strong and durable; fourth, to provide in a spraying device an improved arrangement of air and atomizing tubes; fifth, to provide in a spraying device improved means for agitating the solution.

Further objects and objects relating to structural details will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined and point ed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of my invention is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a detail longitudinal sectional view of my improved spraying device, taken on lines 1 1 of Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 2 is an enlarged end elevation view of my improve spraying device. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail cross-sectional view taken on a line corresponding to line 3 3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged perspective view of my improved solution-agitator. v

In the drawings the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section-lines, and simi lar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the lettered arts of the drawings, A is the cylinder or arrel of the air- 1 ump of my improved spraying device. Within the barrel is a suitable piston or plunger B, which is secured to the inner end of the rod B, on the outer end of which is a handle B. The rod B is arranged through the plug A, which serves as a guide and bearing therefor.

Depending downwardly from the forward or delivery end of the barrel A is an air-delivery tube C. On the lower end of the down- Wardly-extending air-delivery tube C the cap C of the liquid-receptacle D is secured. The partition 0 in the upper portion of the cap C forms a chamber 0, into which the air-delivery tube C opens. The chamber 0 is provided with discharge openings or ports a.

Arranged through the cap C, so that their delivery ends are adjacent to the air-delivery openings or ports a of the air-chamber c are spray or liquid tubes a. On the lower side of the pump barrel or cylinder A is a loop or handhold E, one end of the same being secured to the pump-cylinder and the other to the depending airdelivery tube C. The por tion of the pump barrel or cylinder A embraced by the loop E forms a handle. Secured to this handhold E is a supporting-ring E for the receptacle D. On the lower side of the supporting-ring E" is secured the rest (See Fig. 2.) The cap C is screwthreaded to engage the receptacle D, so that the same may be readily removed for filling or cleaning, or, if desired, the same may be filled through the closure (3 on the cap.

The solution agitator or mixer F is formed of a pair of disk-like rings which are arranged in intersecting relation substantially at right angles to each other and secured together. In operating the device this agitator is tumbled about, which keeps the contents of the receptacle thoroughly mixed.

By this arrangement of the parts I secure a spraying device which is convenient to handle and one by which low-growing plants, such as vines, can be effectively treated, it being possible to easily spray the under side of the leaves of such plants. Other advantages are apparent from the foregoing detailed description.

I have illustrated and described my improved spraying device in detail in the form preferred by me. I am aware, however, that it is capable of considerable structural variation without departing from my invention.

I desire to remark that this application is a continuation of my copending application, filed July 14, 1902, Serial No. 115,501, allowed April 15, 1903, and forfeited by lapse of time.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a sprayer, the combination of an airpump, a downwardly-depending air-delivery tube therefor, a liquid-receptacle, a cap therefor secured to said air-delivery tube, an airchamber adjacent to the exterior of said cap, delivery-ports for said chamber, sprayingtubes arranged through said cap, with their outer ends adjacent to said ports, a handhold secured to the under side of said pump and to said air-delivery tube, and a supporting-ring for said receptacle secured to said handhold.

2.
