Abstract

An applicator assembly for mixing, homogenizing and/or emulsifying two or more components is disclosed. The applicator assembly includes a housing configured to receive a motor and a power source, a fluid supply source operably connected to the housing, the fluid supply sources including at least a first and a second source of solution, and a nozzle assembly extending from the housing and in fluid communication with the fluid supply source, the nozzle assembly including a smooth impeller for mixing the at least first and second solutions.

Claims (26)

1. An applicator assembly comprising:

a housing configured to receive a motor and a power source;

a fluid supply source operably connected to the housing, the fluid supply source including at least a first and a second source of solution; and

a nozzle assembly extending from the housing and in fluid communication with the fluid supply source, the nozzle assembly including a smooth impeller defining a central axis extending the length thereof about which the impeller rotates for mixing the at least first and second solutions.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least first and second sources of solution are syringes.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the housing further includes an actuation assembly for dispensing the first and second source of solution.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the motor is configured to rotate the impeller at about 1,000 to about 35,000 RPM.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the motor is configured to rotate the impeller at about 2,500-10,000 RPM.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle assembly is configured to include an outlet for dispensing a homogenized solution.

7. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the housing defines a pistol grip.

8. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the housing defines a pencil grip.

9. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the fluid supply source is selectively connected to the housing.

10. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle assembly is integrally formed with the housing.

11. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle assembly is selectively detachable from the housing.

12. The assembly of claim 1 , further including a trigger mechanism for selectively dispensing the solution from the at least first and second sources of solution.

13. The assembly of claim 12 , wherein the trigger mechanism includes a trigger pivotably mounted to the housing.

14. The assembly of claim 12 , wherein the trigger mechanism includes a wheel rotationally mounted to the housing.

15. An applicator assembly comprising:

a housing configured to receive a motor and a power source, the housing including a handle forming pistol-grip for operable engagement by a user, the housing further configured to selectively receive a fluid supply source including at least a first and a second source of solution;

a nozzle assembly extending from the housing and configured for fluid communication with a fluid supply source, the nozzle assembly including an smooth impeller for mixing at least a first solution and a second solution, wherein the motor is configured to rotate the impeller at about 1,000 RPM to about 35,000 RPM; and

an actuation mechanism operatively mounted within the housing for selectively dispensing a first and second solutions from a fluid supply source.

16. An applicator assembly comprising:

a housing configured to receive a motor and a power source, the housing forming a pencil-grip for operable engagement by a user, the housing further configured to selectively receive a fluid supply source including at least a first and a second source of solution;

a nozzle assembly extending from the housing and configured for fluid communication with a fluid supply source, the nozzle assembly including an smooth impeller for mixing at least a first and a second solution; and

an actuation mechanism rotatably mounted to the housing for selectively dispensing first and second solutions from a fluid supply source.

17. The applicator of claim 16 , wherein the actuation mechanism includes a wheel configured for operative engagement by a user.
