Pesticide dispensing device

A pesticide dispenser apparatus for dispensing pesticide into the soil, said apparatus comprising:

• a tubular member, said tubular member being elongate and having a first end and a second end, said tubular member being substantially cylindrical and generally hollow with a perimeter wall, each of said first and second ends of said tubular member having openings therein, a bore being formed in said tubular member through said perimeter wall and having an axis extending substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said tubular member, said bore being generally adjacent to said second end;
• a handle member for holding said tubular member, said handle member member being a rod, said rod being generally hollow, said rod having a middle portion being fluidly connected to said first end of said tubular member, said rod being orientated generally perpendicular to said tubular member;
• a gripping means for gripping said tubular member, said gripping means extending around a portion of said tubular member generally adjacent to said handle member, said gripping means being an elastomeric coating;
• a drilling member for drilling into the soil, said drilling member having a distal portion and proximal portion, said distal portion being a threaded lug adapted for being removably inserted into said second end of said tubular member, said proximal portion being generally cone-shaped such that a point of the cone is directed away from said threaded lug;
• wherein said bore is positioned on said tubular member at a location separated from said drilling member;
• a liquid dispensing system, said system comprising:
• a storage container, said storage container being fixedly mounted to an outside surface of said handle, said storage container having a removable cap thereon;
• a conduit for fluidly connecting said storage container to said bore in said tubular member, said conduit having a first end and a second end, said first end of said conduit being fluidly connected to said storage container, said second end being fluidly connected to a housing, said housing being fluidly coupled in said bore, said housing having an annular bore therethrough, said housing having a first open end and second open end, said first open end being integrally coupled to said conduit and having an internal shoulder thereon, said housing having an inner surface, said inner surface having an annular groove therein;
• a pumping member for pumping said liquid from said storage container to said bore, said pumping member being a hydraulic pump, said pumping member being mounted in said handle member, said pumping member being fluidly coupled to said conduit between said storage container and said bore, a trigger for actuating said pumping member being mechanically coupled to said pumping member, a portion of said trigger extending through said handle member to a location outside of said handle member;
• a diffusing member for diffusing the pesticide into the soil, said diffusing member comprising a hollow plug having a first end, a second end and peripheral wall therebetween, said first end being removably inserted into said bore of said tubular member, said second end of said diffusing member protruding from an outer surface of said tubular member in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis of said tubular member, said second end having an opening for dispensing pesticide in an opening created by said drilling member;
• a first seal for sealing said diffusing member, said first seal being in said housing, said first seal being generally abutted against said shoulder in said housing;
• a second seal for sealing said diffusing member, said second seal being an O-ring, said O-ring being fixedly coupled to said inside surface of said housing, said second seal being positioned between said first seal and said annular groove such that said second seal is between said peripheral wall of said diffusing member and said inside surface of said bore when said diffusing member is placed in said housing.
