    摘要: A tubeless sprayer assembly includes a base that is coupled to a support surface. The base has a fluid port is integrated therein. The fluid port is fluidly coupled to a fluid source wherein the fluid port is configured to receive a fluid from the fluid source. A canister is positionable in the base. The canister is in fluid communication with the fluid port when the canister is positioned in the base to fill the canister with the fluid. A pumping unit is coupled to the canister. The pumping unit pumps the fluid outwardly from the canister when the pumping unit is turned on to facilitate the fluid to be sprayed without a connection to the fluid source.

    摘要: A method of using a system to apply liquid over a selected area includes providing a source of liquid, a first tube for transporting liquid from the source through the system, a connector, a check valve and a spray device. The connector includes a projection extending into the first tube. The projection has an inlet in fluid communication with the first tube. The connector further includes an outlet and a passageway in fluid communication with the inlet of the projection and the outlet of the connector. The check valve has an inlet in fluid communication with the outlet of the connector and an outlet. The check valve is operable to permit the passage of liquid from the inlet to the outlet upon pressurization of the liquid above a threshold pressurization level. The method includes the steps of introducing an amount of liquid to be applied to the selected area from the source of liquid to the first tube at a pressure below the threshold pressurization level of the check valve and providing pressurized air through the first tube to pressurize the liquid in the first tube above the threshold pressurization level of the check valve, thereby transporting liquid from the first tube, through the connector and the check valve and through the spray device in response to pressurization of the liquid. The liquid may be ozonated water.

    摘要: A nozzle body apparatus having a conduit mounting member with a conduit input adapted to be connected such that liquid passing through a liquid conduit flows into the conduit input and out through a conduit output. A component mounting member has a component input releasably connected to the conduit output, a component attachment element, and a component output. Liquid passing out the conduit output flows into the component input then through a sprayer component connected to the component attachment element to the component output and then to a nozzle. The component mounting member is connectable to the conduit output in a first orientation where the component attachment element extends from the conduit output in a first direction, and is connectable to the conduit output in a second orientation where the component attachment element extends from the conduit output in a second different direction that is different from the first direction.

    摘要: A boom spray assembly, such as for an agricultural sprayer, has a feed pipe and a spray pipe with a continuous tubular body. The tubular body has at least one facial feed opening therein between the ends opening along a second axis at an angle to a first axis of the tubular body. A saddle fitting is coupled to the spray pipe that defines a first passageway extending along the first axis to receive the tubular body and defines a second passageway extending along the second axis in registration with the at least one facial feed opening and receiving spray material from the at least one feed pipe. At least one spray nozzle is coupled to the tubular body of the at least one pipe in communication with the first and second passageways.

    摘要: A connector includes a first member defining a first opening; a second member defining a second opening; and a third member defining a third opening, the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening being centrally connected to define a cavity within the connector. A method for draining a sprinkler assembly includes removing a plug from a third opening of a connector of the sprinkler assembly, a sprinkler body of the sprinkler assembly connected to a first opening of the connector, a flexible conduit of the sprinkler assembly connected to a second opening of the connector; and draining a fluid from the connector and the flexible conduit through the third opening.

    摘要: A multifunctional irrigation pliers and method of piercing, cutting, and fitting an irrigation tube with an irrigation pliers. The irrigation pliers enables the forming of a hole in an irrigation tube, the placement of a nozzle or a drip emitter into the formed hole or a terminal opening of the irrigation tube, the cutting of a length of the irrigation tube, and general deforming of sections of the irrigation tube. A first jaw and a second jaw are pivotally attached together at a pivoting joint to allow the jaws to be pivotally displaced toward and away from each other by moving a first handle and a second handle to and away from each other. The inner surfaces of the jaw comprise a blade, a spike, and retaining slots sequentially positioned across the jaws to engage the irrigation tube, the nozzle, and the drip emitter.
