Abstract
The invention is an adjustable aerosol can holder attachment kit for a conventional tree pruner. The addition of the device to a conventional tree pruner gives the user the ability to hold and operate an aerosol can of spray paint at the end of the tree pruner. After the user saws off a tree branch using the saw on the end of the pole, a rope attached to the branch cutting lever arm is pulled. This in turn depresses the nozzle on the spray can, which is attached to the conventional tree pruner. When the rope is pulled and the nozzle depressed, the spray can sprays its contents in the area designated by the user. The attachment kit consists of a receiving sleeve for holding the aerosol spray can and a wedge-shaped plate which attaches to the conventional tree pruner.
Claims4
In a tree pruner having a lever arm pivotally connected to a cutting head, an elongated pole handle, and a rope and pulley system for operating a pruning saw pivotally connected to the cutting head, an improvement comprised of an adjustable aerosol can holder and aerosol can trigger attachment, said improvement comprised of:
- a receiving sleeve, said receiving sleeve attached to the adjacent lateral external surface of said cutting head of said tree pruner for receiving a can of aerosol sealant for sealing tree limbs after trimming and pruning;
- wherein said receiving sleeve is comprised of:
- a body, said body made from a shear resistant fabric of high tensile strength formed into an elongated cylindrical configuration for receiving an aerosol can containing sealant of varying size within its interior volume;
- an upper buckle clamp, said upper buckle clamp permanently attached to an exterior surface of said body;
- a lower buckle clamp, said lower buckle clamp permanently attached to said exterior surface of said body;
- and
- wherein said upper buckle clamp and said lower buckle clamp are attached to said receiving sleeve by sewing, and when said upper buckle clamp and said lower buckle clamp are closed, the diameter of said receiving sleeve is contracted and the aerosol sealant within its interior volume is firmly gripped until said upper buckle clamp and said lower buckle clamp are released;
- and
- an actuating means, said actuating means for depressing the spray head of the aerosol can and being actuated by said lever arm by a user pulling on a rope from said rope and pulley system.
