Abstract
A system for thoroughly spraying buildings with a pesticide. A truck carries a tank of liquid pesticide, a hose on a reel and a pump for pumping pesticide into the hose. A cart including a tube having a first end for connection to the hose and a second end carrying one or more spray heads is placed at the far end of a building with the hose extending the length of the building and out a door to the truck. The tube is mounted on at least two wheels, with a sled member supporting the end of the tube adjacent to the hose connection. The spray heads produce a pattern in approximately a vertical plane perpendicular to the length of the tube and hose. As the hose is reeled up, the cart is pulled across the floor of the building, with the fan-like spray pattern fully treating the building interior.
Claims18
A pesticide spray system which comprises:
- a vehicle;
- a tank for containing pesticide mounted on said vehicle;
- a reel carrying an elongated hose wound thereon;
- means for permitting said hose to be unreeled and for reeling up said hose;
- a cart comprising an elongated tube having a first end and a second end;
- means for connecting said hose to said first tube end;
- at least two spaced, generally parallel, wheels mounted on at least one axle secured to said tube at a location intermediate said first and second ends for supporting said tube;
- a sled means secured to said tube adjacent to said first tube end to support said first end;
- and
- spray means connected to said second tube end for receiving liquid from said tube and spraying said liquid in a plane approximately perpendicular to a vertical plane through said tube;
- whereby said cart and unreeled hose may be placed in the interior of a building and the building interior may be sprayed with a liquid while winding said hose onto said reel to pull said cart through said building.
A pesticide spray assembly which comprises:
- an elongated tube having a first end and a second end;
- means for connecting a hose to said first end;
- at least two spaced, generally parallel, wheels mounted on at least one axle secured to said tube at a location intermediate said first and second ends for supporting said tube;
- a sled means secured to said tube adjacent to said first tube end to support said first end;
- and
- spray means connected to said second tube end for receiving liquid from said tube and spraying said liquid in a plane approximately perpendicular to a vertical plane through said tube.
The pesticide spray assembly according to 7 claim wherein:
- said at least one axle between said tube and each of said at least two wheels is angled outwardly from said tube and toward said second end of said tube;
- said at least one axle is secured to a plate having at least one hole therethrough;
- at least one stud is secured to said tube for extending through said at least one hole;
- and
- a nut is provided for said at least one stud to secure said plate over said at least one stud and to said tube.

- at least two spaced, generally parallel, wheels mounted on at least one axle secured to said tube at a location intermediate said first and second ends for supporting said tube;
- a sled means secured to said tube adjacent to said first tube end to support said first end;
- said sled means being mounted on a plurality of support means extending between said sled means and said tube;
- said sled means including an upturned end extending toward said first tube end;
- and
- spray means connected to said second tube end for receiving liquid from said tube and spraying said liquid in a plane approximately perpendicular to a vertical plane through said tube.
The pesticide spray assembly according to 13 claim wherein:
- said at least one axle between said tube and each of said at least two wheels is angled outwardly from said tube and toward said second end of said tube;
- said at least one axle is secured to a plate having at least one hole therethrough;
- at least one stud is secured to said tube for extending through said at least one hole;
- and
- a nut is provided for said at least one stud to secure said plate over said at least one stud and to said tube.
