Claims8
A fluid applicator pressure device comprising a cylinder having a tubular piston and a tubular piston rod extending axially therein, seal means on said piston engaging the inner wall of said cylinder, a first valve means yieldingly mounted axially on said tubular piston for controlling the fluid flow through said piston, spring means biasing said valve means to a closed position, handle means pivotally mounted on said cylinder and engaging said piston rod for movement therewith, a circular cross wall extending diametrically in said cylinder and having an axially extending bore therein said first vale means biased to seat against one side of said circular cross wall bore, a second valve means yieldingly mounted in said cylinder for controlling the fluid flow from said circular wall bore, and spring means biasing said second valve means to a closed position against the other side of said circular cross wall bore.
A fluid applicator pressure device comprising a cylinder having a bore of a reduced diameter at one end and a fluid outlet at the other end thereof, a diametrically extending circular wall in said cylinder having a center opening, said cylinder having a pair of axially extending chambers in fluid communication through said circular wall opening, a tubular piston having a tubular piston rod extending axially in one of said cylinder chambers and through said cylinder end opening protruding outwardly thereof and adapted to be connected to a fluid source at the protruding end thereof, said piston rod having a collar thereon, handle means pivotally mounted on said cylinder and engaging said piston rod collar for moving said piston rod rearwardly of said cylinder, spring means in said cylinder biasing said piston and piston rod forwardly in said cylinder, said piston having an outer seal engaging the inner wall of said cylinder, a first valve means yieldingly mounted axially on said tubular piston for movement in a direction opposite to that of said piston moving rearwardly in said cylinder and adapted to control the fluid flow through said tubular piston and through said circular wall opening, spring means in said tubular piston biasing said first valve means to a closed position, adjusting means on said first valve means for adjusting the spring tension thereon, a second valve means yieldingly mounted in the other of said chambers in said cylinder for controlling the fluid flow from said circular wall opening, spring means biasing said second valve to a closed position, and said second valve means adapted to open when fluid pressure overcomes said spring means during movement of said piston forwardly in said cylinder thereby permitting fluid to pass through said circular wall opening to the other of said chambers and to said cylinder outlet.
