US 6,598,807 B1 · Spraying device with wide spray arc

Abstract

The present invention comprises a casing with an opened end for receiving a liquid and a holding end where the liquid is stored. Between the open end and the holding end there narrow neck. A ball is placed into the opened end of the casing, so that lodging the ball into the neck will seal the neck area so that the liquid contained within the holding area will remain in the holding area until the ball is dislodged upon impact. Attached to the opened end of the casing is a nozzle. The nozzle serves two purposes, first it assures that the liquid contained within the casing does not quickly run out of the device upon impact minimizing the spray area covered by the liquid. Additionally the nozzle contains a number of holes distributed throughout the surface of said nozzle, so that the passage of liquid through the nozzle will cause the device to flail erratically, further maximizing the area sprayed by the device.

A liquid spraying device with wide spray arc comprising:

a casing comprising an opened end for receiving a liquid under pressure, a holding end to accommodate said liquid under pressure, and a narrow neck region capable of being folded between said opened end and said holding end;
a ball received within said opened end for sealing said neck region between said opened end and said holding end to form a check valve, such that impact of said device will cause straightening of said narrow neck region to permit dislodging the ball by liquid pressure thereby dispensing liquid from said holding end through said opened end;
said opened end further comprising a nozzle affixed thereto, said nozzle comprising an attachment means for fixedly attaching said nozzle to said opened end wherein said nozzle comprises at least two liquid guiding holes.
