SPRAYING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Petent.

Patented March 2, 1909.

Application led July 17, 1908. Serial No. 444,134.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, KRAMER and FREDERICK KoENieKnAMER, citizens of the United States, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in- Spraying Apparatus, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to apparatus for spraying white-wash, chemicals, and similar substances and mixtures.

One of its objects is to provide an apparatus adapted to be attached to an ordinary bucket or open tank and used for the above purpose.

Another object is to provide simple, reliable and eiiicient mechanism for such purose.

It further consists in certain details of form, combination and arrangement, all of which will be more fully set forth in the description of the accompanying drawings, in which g Figure l is a view, partly in side elevation, and partly in section on line w w of Fig` 3. Fig. 2 is a side elevation at right angles to that shown in Fig. l, and with part of the tank shown broken away. Fig. 3 is a secton on line c e of Fig. l. Fig. 4 is an enlarged central vertical section through the pump cylinder and valves. Fig. 5 is a perspective view ofthe agitator blade, detached. Fig. 6 is a detail illustration of the attacln ment to an ordinary bucket.

life preferably provide a tank A of galvanized iron or enameled ware, to the upper edge of which is attached a channeled metal band ay to reinforce the edge of the tank and form a means for firmly attaching the opera tive parts to the tank. Ifdesired however, the operative parts may be attached to an ordinary bucket A having a wired rim a. as indicated in Fig. 6. The operative parts are carried by or mounted upon a frame B carried at or near the center of the tank, and preferably slightly below the top edge of the tank in order that any liquid which escape or drip from the operative parts will lflow back into the tank. The frame B is supported relative to the tank by means of radial arms b projecting from frame B, and having downwardly projecting lugs b. All

j of the lugs b FRANK KoENrG- bolts b2 to engage may be provided with thumb the channel of the band a or beneath the rim c. l/Ve prefer however to provide inwardly projecting lugs t3 on two of thc arms b to engage the channel of band c or beneath the rim d', while a thumb bolt on one arm l) serves to draw the lugs t3 into place and lock the frame B to the tank. Either arrangement permits of readily attaching or detaching the frame B as required.

C represents the pump cylinder projecting downwardly from the frame B, and preferably formed integral therewith. The pump cylinder is provided at its lower end with a screw plug c in which is mounted, preferably by threaded engagement, a valve cage c', which cage carries a valve c2, the stem c3 of which is locked to a limited movement by means of a pin c4.

I) represents a suction pipe projecting from the plug c down close to the bottom of the tank, in order that practically all the liquid may be drawn from the tank into the pump.

E represents a plunger adapted to reciprocate within the pump cylinder, and is preferably packed with one or more leather cups. Any liquid which may pass to the top of the plunger flows over the top of frame B and returns to the tank.

F represents the pump lever, which is pivoted at f to a standard f carried by frame B. The pump lever is pivotally connected to a rod G which is connected at its opposite end to the plunger E, whereby the operation of the pump lever serves to reciprocate the plunger in the pump cylinder. Attached to the rod G is an arm g passing down along side the pump cylinder and carrying at its lowe end a blade or agitator g', which has an opening g2 for the passage of the suction pipe D, which serves as a guide for the same. The agitator serves to keep any iinely divided material suspended in the liquid in the tank.

II represents the outlet passage leading from the pump cylinder, this passage is preferably 'formed in a lug or projection h formed integral with the pump cylinder.

I represents a valve cage, preferably threaded into the upper end of passage H and provided with a valve t' locked to the cage with a limited movement relative thereto by means of a pin i through the valve stem. The valve cage I is provided with a Wrench seat J and its upper end is threaded to receive a tee J. An air chamber K is connected to the upper' end of said tee and a flexible hose c is connected to the side of said tee, said hose being provided at its free end with a spraying nozzle 7c and controlling valve k2. In order to prevent the plunger being withdrawn from the pump cylinder during the act of pumping, and to permit it being withdrawn when required for repairs, we provide a plate L attached to the frame B by a bolt, which serves to lock the plate L with its end Z overhanging the pump cylinder to lock the plunger therein, and when the bolt is released the plate L may be shifted to permit the withdrawal of the plunger.

M re resents a handle carried by the standar j" and adapted to be locked thereto by a set screw. rIhe handle M serves as a convenient means for lifting the pump and tank when it is desired to carry the same from place to place.

The above described arrangement of parts is simple and ecient, and permits ready access to all parts when required.

The apparatus herein shown and described is capable of considerable modiiication without departing from the principle of our invention.

I-Iaving described our invention, what we claim is;

1. In a mechanism of the character indicated, a tank, a frame located within and slightly below the top edge of said tank and secured to said tank by radial arms having lugs engaging and locking said frame to the tank, a pump cylinder carried by and projecting downwardly from said frame, a plunger reciprocating within said cylinder, a pump lever carried by and above said frame, and suction and exit valves controlling the llow of liquid through said pump cylinder'.

2. In a mechanism of the character indicated, a tank, a frame located over the central portion of said tank and secured thereto by radial arms having lugs engaging and locking said frame to the tank, a pump cylinder projecting downwardly from said frame, a plunger reciprocating within said cylinder, a pump lever carried by and above said frame, suction and exit valves controlling the iiow of liquid through said pump cylinder, and a suction pipe projecting downwardly from said pump cylinder to near the bottom of said tank.

3. Ina mechanism ol' the character indicated, a tank, a frame rigidly supported relative to said tank, a pump cylinder projecting downwardly from said frame into said tank, a discharge passage leading up- Wardly from said pump cylinder, a valve cage provided with a discharge valve, said cage being threaded into said passage and threaded at its opposite end for connection with a hose and air chamber, an air chamber carried by and above said valve cage, and a flexible hose having connection between said valve cage and air chamber.
