Abstract
A liquid dispenser for supplying a treatment fluid to blades on a cutting implement used to cut plants which includes a distributor connected to a liquid supply unit of the treatment fluid which has a flow regulator to regulate the flow of the treatment fluid from the supply unit through the distributor and onto the cutting blades to keep the cutting blades coated with the treatment fluid.
Claims20
A treatment fluid dispenser for distributing the treatment fluid onto the cutting blade of a cutting implement for plants comprising:
- a container for holding the treatment fluid;
- said container defining a fluid chamber therein and a discharge passage therefrom;
- a distributor mounted on the cutting implement, said container mounted on said distributor, said distributor defining a support surface therein adapted to seat against a portion of the cutting implement adjacent the cutting blades to rotationally fix said distributor on the cutting implement and further including a connector attachable to the cutting implement to keep said distributor in place, and said distributor defining a fluid flow passage therethrough communicating with said discharge passage from said container so that the flow of treatment fluid is applied to the cutting blades to cause the treatment fluid to be applied to the cut in the plant made by the cutting blade;
- and
- flow control means for regulating the flow of fluid from said container out through said flow passage.
A treatment fluid dispenser for distributing the treatment fluid onto the cutting blade of a cutting implement for plants comprising:
- a container for holding the treatment fluid;
- said container defining a fluid chamber therein and a discharge passage therefrom;
- said container further defining an external vent passage to said fluid chamber to vent said liquid chamber so that the treatment fluid can flow out said discharge passage;
- and further includes valve means for selectively closing said vent passage to prevent the flow of treatment fluid from said fluid chamber out through said discharge passage;
- a distributor mounted on the cutting implement, said container mounted on said distributor, said distributor defining a fluid flow passage therethrough communicating with said discharge passage from said container so that the flow of treatment fluid is applied to the cutting blades to cause the treatment fluid to be applied to the cut in the plant made by the cutting blade;
- and
- flow control means for regulating the flow of fluid from said container out through said flow passage, said flow control means including a porous plug located between said fluid chamber and the discharge end of said fluid flow passage in said distributor so that the flow of fluid is regulated.
A treatment fluid dispenser for distributing the treatment fluid onto the cutting blade of a cutting implement for plants comprising:
- a container for holding the treatment fluid;
- said container defining a fluid chamber therein and a discharge passage therefrom;
- a distributor mounted on the cutting implement, said container mounted on said distributor, said distributor defining a slot therein adapted to fit over a portion of the cutting implement adjacent the cutting blades to rotationally fix said distributor on the cutting implement and further including attachment means for attaching said distributor to the cutting implement, said distributor defining a fluid flow passage therethrough communicating with said discharge passage from said container so that the flow of treatment fluid is applied to the cutting blades to cause the treatment fluid to be applied to the cut in the plant made by the cutting blade;
- and
- flow control means for regulating the flow of fluid from said container out through said flow passage.
A dispenser for a treatment fluid comprising:
- a container defining a closed fluid chamber therein having opposed ends;
- a fluid outlet in one end of said container defining a discharge fluid passage therethrough communicating with said chamber;
- a porous plug in said discharge fluid passage to regulate the flow of the treatment fluid from said closed chamber;
- and
- venting means associated with that end of said container opposite said fluid outlet to vent said closed chamber to the atmosphere.
A dispenser for a treatment fluid comprising:
- a container defining a closed fluid chamber therein having opposed ends;
- a fluid outlet in one end of said container defining a discharge fluid passage therethrough communicating with said chamber;
- and
- a porous plug in said discharge fluid passage to regulate the flow of the treatment fluid from said closed chamber,
- said container further including a flexible side wall so that fluid can be forced from said container by pressing in on said wall.
