Abstract
A device configured to deliver a pressurized fluid includes a body having an input opening for receiving the pressurized fluid and an output opening for delivering the pressurized fluid, a handle defining a lumen, wherein the lumen is configured to receive a container containing the pressurized fluid, and at least one aperture fluidly connecting the lumen to an atmosphere external of the device.
Claims20
A device configured to deliver a pressurized fluid, the device comprising:
- a body having an input opening for receiving the pressurized fluid and an output opening for delivering the pressurized fluid;
- a handle defining a lumen, wherein the lumen is configured to receive a container containing the pressurized fluid;
- and
- at least one aperture fluidly connecting the lumen to an atmosphere external of the device.
A device configured to deliver a pressurized fluid, the device comprising:
- a body having an input opening for receiving the pressurized fluid and an output opening for delivering the pressurized fluid;
- a handle defining a lumen, wherein the lumen is configured to receive a container containing the pressurized fluid;
- and
- a plurality of apertures fluidly connecting the lumen and an outer surface of the device,
- wherein a cross-sectional area of a sum of each of the plurality of apertures is equal to or greater than approximately 0.25 square inches, and wherein the pressurized fluid is configured to be released from the lumen in approximately 0.5 seconds or less.
