Abstract

The present application relates generally to a demonstration kit for various nozzles. The demonstration kit may include a spray assembly and a control assembly. The spray assembly may include a case having a base and a cover rotatably coupled to the base, a plurality of back wall panels configured to be secured to a sidewall of the base, a boom connected to an interior surface of the case, and one or more nozzles connected to the boom and repositionable along a length of the boom. The control assembly includes at least one pump that when in an operating orientation is fluidly connected to the one or more nozzles and a portable power supply in electrical communication with the at least one pump.

Claims (38)

1. A demonstration kit comprising:

a spray assembly comprising:

a case having a base and a cover rotatably coupled to the base;

a plurality of back wall panels configured to be secured to a sidewall of the base;

a boom connected to an interior surface of the case; and

one or more nozzles connected to the boom and repositionable along a length of the boom; and

a control assembly comprising:

at least one pump that when in an operating orientation is fluidly connected to the one or more nozzles; and

a portable power supply in electrical communication with the at least one pump.

2. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pump comprises a first pump and a second pump.

3. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of back wall panels are a corrugated plastic material.

4. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit can be assembled by hand without tools.

5. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pump is controlled by a pulse width modulation signal.

6. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the control assembly further comprises a dampening assembly to dampen pulses in the fluid pumped by the at least one pump.

7. The demonstration kit of claim 6 , wherein the dampening assembly comprises a plurality of elastomeric tubes connected between an outlet of the at least one pump and the one or more nozzles, wherein a length of the elastomeric tubes corresponds to the dampening provided by the dampening assembly.

8. A spray pattern demonstration system comprising:

a control case, comprising:

a portable power supply;

a control panel in electrical communication with the portable power supply; and

a first pump in electrical communication with the control panel and the portable power supply; and

a spray case in selective fluid and electrical communication with the control case, comprising:

a nozzle support rod;

a plurality of nozzles positioned along a length of the nozzle support rod and movable along the length thereof; and

a first reservoir in selective fluid communication with the first pump.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein during operation the first pump pumps fluid from the reservoir to the plurality of nozzles.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the spray case further comprises a fluid drain path fluidly connecting the nozzles to the reservoir, wherein during operation fluid is recirculated within the system.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein

the control case further comprises a second pump in electrical communication with the control panel and the portable power supply; and

the spray case further comprises a second reservoir in selectively communication with the second pump; wherein

the first reservoir and the second reservoir are fluidly separated from each other; and

the first pump and the second pump are independently controlled by the control panel.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the portable power supply is a direct current supply that has an operating voltage of about 12 volts.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the control panel varies one or more characteristics of the first pump via a pulse width modulation signal provided to the first pump.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first reservoir is formed integrally with the spray case.

15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first reservoir comprises at least one drainage area.

16. The system of claim 14 , further comprising a divider connected to the control case, wherein the divider defines the first fluid reservoir and a second fluid reservoir.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the divider is formed integrally with the control case.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the divider is removable from the control case.
