Abstract
A self-contained finish spraying apparatus that allows a user to transport the apparatus to a job site and provides the tools to conduct finish spraying regardless of the lack of necessary components at the job site, such as water and electricity, is claimed and described herein. The apparatus includes a generator, a water tank, a dry material silo, a mixer, an air compressor, and a conventional viscous sprayer. The apparatus includes all or most of these materials within security walls so that the apparatus may be left at an exterior location at a job site without risk of damage to the machinery by vandalism or theft.
Claims11
A self-contained finish spraying apparatus comprising:
- a frame;
- an electrical generator mounted on said frame for generation of electrical power;
- a silo mounted on said frame and adapted to hold dry material, said silo having an open upper end and an open lower end;
- a water tank mounted on said frame and containing water;
- an air compressor being mounted on said frame and having an air output, said air compressor being adapted to produce compressed air and to discharge the compressed air through said air output;
- a water supply channel having a first end and a second end, said first end being in communication with the water in said water tank;
- a water pump having a discharge valve and being in communication with said second end of said water supply channel;
- said water pump being adapted to draw the water through said water supply channel and out of said discharge valve;
- a continuous mixer mounted on said open lower end of said silo, said continuous mixer being functionally connected to said electrical generator for provision of electrical power thereto and being adapted to receive dry material from said open lower end of said silo and mix the dry material with water from said discharge valve to create a slurry;
- said continuous mixer having a discharge end through which the slurry is discharged from said continuous mixer;
- a slurry pump having a slurry discharge valve and being in functional communication with said discharge end of said continuous mixer;
- said slurry pump being adapted to draw the slurry from said continuous mixer and out of said slurry discharge valve;
- a slurry supply hose having first and second ends, said first end of said slurry supply hose being in communication with said slurry discharge valve;
- an air supply hose having first and second ends, said first end of said air supply hose being in communication with said air output;
- and
- a spray nozzle mounted on said second end of said slurry supply hose and said second end of said air supply hose;
- said spray nozzle being adapted to receive compressed air from said second end of said air supply hose, to receive slurry from said second end of said slurry supply hose, and to employ the compressed air to dispense the slurry;
- whereby said apparatus may be moved selectively to a job site.
