Abstract
A herbicide spray system comprising a rotary lawn spreader in combination with a spray system comprising a fluid reservoir, pumping means and means for coupling said pumping means to said rotary spreader.

Claims5
A liquid pumping device comprising a rotary spreader including
- (a) a load carrier;
- (b) means for supporting said load carrier on rotatable means for moving said load carrier;
- (c) a drive shaft terminating in a stirrer bar being located within said load carrier;
- and
- (d) means cooperable with said rotatable means for rotating said drive shaft and stirrer bar;
- in combination with a pumping system comprising
- (e) a liquid reservoir cannister removably deposited into said load carrier;
- (f) a spray nozzle assembly comprising at least one outlet nozzle and a fluid delivery tube extending into said cannister;
- (g) pumping means on said cannister for pumping the liquid in said cannister into said delivery tube;
- (h) means for engaging the stirrer bar of said spreader with the pumping means when the cannister is deposited in the load carrier whereby movement of said rotatable means causes rotation of said drive shaft and stirrer bar thereby driving the pumping means and enabling the liquid contained in the cannister to move through the delivery tube for dispensation from the outlet nozzle.
