Abstract
A system and method for vehicular mounted chemical and organic agent delivery. An apparatus and method are disclosed wherein an aluminum frame is utilized to mount a high power blower. The apparatus is designed to be mounted on a vehicle. A chemical or organic agent is loaded into a reservoir also mounted on the vehicle. By the use of a peristaltic pump, the chemical or organic agent is pumped into a nozzle and introduced into the wind flow, thereby allowing for airborne application of the agent. The apparatus has the ability to adjust the rate of the pump in accordance with a predetermined or constantly ascertained ground-speed. A user operates the vehicle and applies the chemical or organic agent at will.
Claims8
An apparatus for dispensing a chemical or organic agent, comprising:
- a frame, attachable to a vehicle in a manner whereby the weight of the frame is supported by the vehicle;
- an air blower, mounted upon the frame;
- a nozzle, mounted on an end of the blower;
- a reservoir holding a chemical or organic agent formulated for use against fruit flies and including a bait material;
- a pump for pumping the chemical or organic agent;
- a tube connecting the pump and blower for feeding the chemical or organic agent into the nozzle;
- a control for monitoring and controlling the flow of the chemical or organic agent into the nozzle.
A vehicular mounted chemical and organic agent distribution system, comprised of:
- a vehicle;
- a reservoir holding a chemical or organic agent formulated for use against fruit flies and including a bait material, which is mounted to said vehicle;
- a frame, mounted to said vehicle in a manner whereby the weight of the frame is supported by the vehicle;
- a pump, attached to said frame;
- a first tube connected between said reservoir and a first end of said pump, for carrying said agent to said pump;
- a pump control, for controlling the rate of chemical or organic agent flow through said pump;
- a blower attached to said frame;
- a nozzle connected to an exhaust end of said blower;
- a blower control, for controlling the rate of air flow from said blower;
- and
- a second tube connected between a second end of said pump and said nozzle, for delivering said chemical or organic agent into said nozzle.
A method for dispensing a chemical or organic agent, comprising:
- mounting an air blower to a frame;
- mounting the frame to a vehicle in a manner whereby the weight of the frame is supported by the vehicle;
- mounting a reservoir to the vehicle or frame;
- filling the reservoir with a chemical or organic agent formulated for use against fruit flies and including a bait material;
- mounting a pump to the frame;
- connecting a suction end of the pump to the reservoir with a tube;
- connecting an evacuation end of the pump to a nozzle, which is mounted on an end of the blower;
- pumping the chemical or organic agent into an air-stream created by the air blower.
