Abstract
A fluid application device includes a clamp portion including two clamp arms, at least one of the clamp arms including a sponge, a reservoir to store a fluid, and a trigger to move the clamp arms towards each other when pressed a first distance and to pump fluid from the reservoir to the sponge when pressed a second distance greater than the first distance.
Claims17
A fluid application device, including:
- a clamp portion including two clamp arms, at least one of the clamp arms including a sponge;
- a reservoir to store a fluid;
- a trigger to move the clamp arms towards each other when pressed a first distance and to pump fluid from the reservoir to the sponge when pressed a second distance greater than the first distance;
- and
- a cable connected between the trigger and the clamp arms to move the clamp arms towards each other when the trigger is pressed.
A fluid application device, comprising:
- a clamp portion including two clamp arms, each clamp arm having a base plate mounted thereon, at least one of the base plates having a sponge mounted thereon to face the other base plate;
- a fluid storing reservoir;
- and
- a trigger to move the clamp arms towards each other without providing fluid to the sponge when moved from a rest position toward a first position, and to provide fluid to the sponge when moved to a second position past the first position with respect to the rest position,
- wherein the trigger does not move the clamp arms towards each other when moving from the first position to the second position.
A method of supplying fluid in a fluid supplying device including two clamping arms, at least one of the clamping arms having a sponge mounted thereon, and a trigger to move the clamp arms and to supply a fluid to the sponge, the method comprising:
- moving a trigger from a rest position to a first position;
- in response to moving the trigger from the rest position to the first position, moving the clamp arms toward each other;
- moving the trigger from the first position to a second position, the second position being farther from the rest position than the first position;
- and
- in response to moving the trigger from the first position to the second position, supplying fluid to the sponge,
- wherein the clamp arms are not moved toward each other when the trigger is moved from the first position to the second position.
A fluid application device, including:
- a clamp portion including two clamp arms, each of the clamp arms includes a sponge;
- a reservoir to store a fluid;
- a trigger configured to move the clamp arms towards each other when pressed a first distance, the sponges configured to contract each other when the trigger is pressed the first distance, and the trigger configured to pump fluid from the reservoir to the sponge when pressed a second distance greater than the first distance;
- and
- first and second tubes configured to supply fluid to the respective sponges of the clamp arms, and a third tube configured to supply fluid from the reservoir to the first and second tubes.
