Abstract
This application describes a sprayer assembly that can attach to a variety of different types of pre-filled, fluid containers (e.g., non-pressurized fluid containers) for holding the fluid to be sprayed. For example, the sprayer assembly can include a sprayer-head assembly for attaching to a container of fluid, a canister for holding the container of fluid, or any combination thereof In addition, the sprayer assembly can be connected to a variety of different types of pressurized air sources. The sprayer-head assembly can include a nozzle assembly (e.g., fluid uptake tube, valve, and nozzle head), as well as a trigger for actuating the nozzle assembly.
Claims19
A sprayer assembly comprising:
- a canister comprising an upper rim and a first connector, the canister comprising a volume configured to receive a container of fluid;
- and
- a sprayer-head assembly comprising:
- a lid comprising an internal cavity configured to receive the upper rim and a second connector that mates with the first connector to couple the canister to the sprayer-head assembly;
- a fluid channel in fluid communication with the internal cavity and with the volume when the canister is coupled to the sprayer-head assembly;
- an air-hose fitting coupled to the channel and configured to attach to a pressurize air source;
- a nozzle assembly comprising a fluid uptake tube extending into the volume, a nozzle valve, and nozzle head configured to, when depressed, open the nozzle valve and disperse fluid drawn through the fluid update tube;
- and
- a trigger engaging the nozzle head, such that the trigger, when actuated, operates the nozzle assembly.
A sprayer-head assembly comprising:
- a lid comprising an internal cavity configured to receive a container of fluid, a canister for holding the container of fluid, or any combination thereof;
- a coupling mechanism that projects inwardly towards the cavity and is configured to selectively engage the container of fluid, the canister for holding the container of fluid, or any combination thereof;
- a handle coupled to the lid and gripable by an operator to hold the sprayer-head assembly;
- a fluid channel in fluid communication with the internal cavity and attachable to a pressurized air source, such that the fluid channel is configured to direct pressurized air to the container of fluid, the canister for holding the container of fluid, or any combination thereof;
- a nozzle assembly comprising a fluid uptake tube, which extends into the cavity, a nozzle valve, and nozzle head configured to, when depressed, open the nozzle valve and disperse fluid drawn through the fluid update tube;
- and
- a trigger engaging the nozzle head, such that the trigger, when actuated, operates the nozzle assembly.
A method of spraying a fluid, the method comprising:
- placing a container holding the fluid into a canister;
- coupling the canister to a sprayer-head assembly;
- pressurizing the container and the canister;
- and
- actuating, by depressing a trigger, a nozzle assembly configured to disperse the fluid.
