Centrifugal combination sprayer/cutter apparatus

A system for cutting and spraying foliage, comprising;

• a) a cutting assembly, including a closed wall undercarriage;
• b) blade members rotatably mounted upon an annular member within the undercarriage for cutting grass or the like when the member is rotated;
• c) a pesticide;
• d) means for delivering a specified quantity of said pesticide onto the upper face of the annular member within the closed-wall undercarriage while the blades are rotated;
• e) channel means formed on the outer edge of the annular member for collecting the pesticide delivered onto the upper face of the annular member while the member is rotated;
• f) openings in the channel means positioned so that the pesticide is sprayed through the openings as a result of the rotation of the annular member during the cutting process;
• and
• g) shield means, positioned above the rotating blades to define a means for collecting the sprayed pesticide to deliver the pesticide to the grass beneath the undercarriage.

A system for cutting grass and delivering a pesticide to the grass being cut, the system comprising:

• a) a cutting assembly further comprising a rotatable blade within an undercarriage, the rotatable blade confined within the walls of the undercarriage;
• b) power means for driving the rotation of the blade during the cutting process;
• c) a system for delivering a quantity of pesticide into the space defined within the walls of the undercarriage during the rotation of the cutting blades;
• d) an annular member upon which the rotating blades are mounted which would received the liquid pesticide as it enters the undercarriage space;
• e) openings in an outer channel formed along the outer edge of the annular member for allowing the pesticide to spray outward from the channels during rotation of the annular member;
• and
• f) shield means, positioned above the annular member, and extending outward beyond the annular member to a point defining a narrow fluid passage between the blade and the shield means, for the sprayed pesticide to travel into the area to be sprayed.
