## Abstract

A portable mist wand system, which has a housing assembly, a tank assembly, a handle assembly, a battery assembly, a pump motor assembly, a wand panel assembly, a wand assembly, and a solenoid assembly. The housing assembly has a front panel, a rear panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, and lateral panels. The tank assembly is secured to the top panel and trapped by the front panel, the handle assembly is mounted onto the top panel, the battery assembly is secured to the top panel, the pump motor assembly is secured to the rear panel, the wand panel assembly is mounted onto the front panel, and the solenoid assembly is mounted onto the bottom panel. The housing assembly houses the tank assembly, the battery assembly, the pump motor assembly, and the solenoid assembly.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A portable mist wand system, comprising:
A) a housing assembly comprising a front panel, a rear panel, a top panel, a bottom panel, and lateral panels, said front panel defining a wand panel cavity, a mix switch hole, a power switch hole, and a charge port hole, and said top panel comprises a tank neck hole and a fuse hole;
B) a tank assembly secured to said top panel and trapped by said front panel;
C) a handle assembly mounted onto said top panel;
D) a battery assembly secured onto said top panel;
E) a pump motor assembly secured to said rear panel;
F) wand panel assembly mounted onto said front panel;
G) a wand assembly; and
H) a solenoid assembly mounted onto said bottom panel, whereby said housing assembly houses said tank assembly, said battery assembly, said pump motor assembly, and said solenoid assembly.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 1, wherein said housing assembly further comprises corners, strap loops, air intake holes on said lateral panels, and feet on said bottom panel.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 1, wherein said wand panel cavity receives said wand panel assembly, said mix switch hole receives a mix switch, said power switch hole receives a power switch, and said charge port hole receives a charge port.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 3, wherein said solenoid assembly allows for a return fluid path for mixing and purge air when said mix switch is depressed.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 1, wherein said tank assembly comprises a tank body having a tank outlet, a tank upper section having a tank inlet to receive a mix tube, a tank neck, a tank strainer, a tank cap having a cap vent, a tank mounting flange, and a top flange.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 5, wherein said tank neck passes through said tank neck hole and protrudes from said top panel to receive said tank cap.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 5, wherein said handle assembly comprises a handle body, a handle top, a handle grip, and a mist switch.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 7, wherein said pump motor assembly comprises a pump, a pump output with a pump output tube, a pump input with a pump input tube, and a motor.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 8, wherein said motor is secured to said rear panel with a motor bracket, and a motor spacer is between said motor and said bottom panel.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 8, wherein said wand panel assembly comprises a wand panel having a central hole to receive a bulkhead union secured with a bulkhead union nut.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 10, wherein said wand assembly comprises a wand tube, a wand handle, a wand nozzle, wand tubing connector, a wand tubing having first and second ends, and at least one wand clip to secure said wand assembly to said top panel.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 11, wherein said wand tubing extends from said wand panel assembly to said wand assembly, whereby said first end is connected to said bulkhead union and said second end is connected to said wand tubing connector.

### Claim 13 (depends on 10)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 10, wherein said solenoid assembly comprises a solenoid valve, first and second solenoid input connectors, a solenoid output connector, and a main output tube.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 13, wherein said solenoid assembly drops said main output tube pressure upon said mist switch release allowing for dripless operation.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 13, wherein said mix tube extends from said tank inlet to said solenoid output connector and said pump input tube extends from said tank outlet to said pump input.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 13, wherein said main output tube extends from said second solenoid input connector to said bulkhead union.

### Claim 17 (depends on 5)

The portable mist wand system set forth in claim 5, wherein said battery assembly comprises a battery, a control board, a fuse, a battery mounting bracket, and mounting screws.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)
