Abstract
A device for pressure feeding or injecting a liquid chemical such as a fumigant or the like into a wooden pole is described. One form of the invention comprises a plug member having a threaded shank portion and a hexagonal head portion. A longitudinally extending bore extends through the head portion and the shank portion. A one-way check valve is inserted into the outer end of the longitudinally extending bore to provide a means for injecting the liquid chemical into the pole. A bleeder opening is formed in the shank portion which extends outwardly from the longitudinally extending bore to enable air to be discharged therefrom as the liquid chemical is initially injected into the bore. A modified form of the invention is also described.
Claims7
A device for pressure feeding liquid chemicals into a wooden pole, comprising,
- a plug member including a shank portion and a head portion,
- said plug member having a longitudinal bore extending completely therethrough which has inner and outer ends,
- said shank portion adapted to be inserted into a hole drilled in the pole,
- means on said shank portion for maintaining said plug member in the hole,
- a one-way check valve means mounted in the outer end of said bore adapted to permit a liquid chemical to be pressure injected into the pole through the plug member and the hole drilled in the pole,
- and a bleeder opening formed in said shank portion positioned closely adjacent said head portion and extending outwardly from said longitudinal bore, said bleeder opening adapted to permit air in said bore to be evacuated therefrom as the liquid chemical is initially injected into said bore.
