Spraying device apparatus
A spraying device includes a housing that has a spraying unit and a trigger assembly. The spraying unit is a removable insert within the housing. The spraying unit includes an air chamber that is coupled to a liquid tank. A front end portion of the air chamber has a nozzle. The air chamber receives a liquid tube that opens in the nozzle. The liquid tube receives a needle and the needle and the liquid tube are coaxial with each other. The trigger assembly controls the flow of liquid through the liquid tube by positioning a tapered front end of the needle. The trigger assembly includes a trigger that has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the opening of the liquid tube is closed by the needle. In a second position, the liquid tube is opened to discharge a liquid from an opening of the liquid tube.
1. A spraying device comprising:
a pod, the pod includes a shell, a tank, a valve, a connecting member, a nozzle, an air chamber, an air connector and a needle, the nozzle is defined in a front end of the air chamber, the valve is coupled with the tank and is capable of providing air into the tank, a front end portion of the needle is located in the nozzle and a rear end of the needle is securely coupled with the connecting member, the connecting member is capable of actuating the needle thereby allowing media to be pulled from the tank into the air chamber by an air flow supplied from the air connector.
2. The spraying device of claim 1 further comprising:
a cap, the cap being removably coupled with the pod, wherein the cap includes a poker removably coupled at a predefined position in the cap, and wherein a hole in the valve receives the poker thereby allowing air to enter into the tank.
3. The spraying device of claim 1 wherein the cap is removably coupled with the pod via a snap-fit.
4. The spraying device of claim 1 wherein the valve is a duckbill valve.
5. The spraying device of claim 1 wherein the valve is a one-way valve that seals the media inside the tank and at the same time provides air access in only one direction into the tank.
6. The spraying device of claim 1 wherein the pod further defines a window made of transparent material to see a color or a shade of the media held within the tank.
7. The spraying device of claim 6 wherein the tank of the pod is refilled with the media by breaking open the valve, refilling the tank and replacing the valve with a new valve that is approximately identical to the original valve thereby closing the tank.
8. The spraying device of claim 6 wherein, after the cap is removed from the pod, the pod is removably coupled to a handle of the spraying device.
9. The spraying device of claim 1 wherein the connecting member is a loop.
