Claims (34)

1. A spray wand which comprises:

an essentially hollow elongated housing having a rear and a front;

a pivotable trigger biased in a forward direction;

at least one deformable plastic hose in leak-proof communication with a valve of at least one supply cannister at one end and in leak-proof communication with a rear inlet of a removable nozzle connector for a nozzle at an opposed end;

the nozzle connector comprising:

a means for removable mating engagement with the front of the housing at a rear end of the nozzle connector;

a means for removable mating engagement with a tapered wand tip at a front of the nozzle connector; and

a removable hose crimping prevention means for maintaining the at least one plastic hose with less than full deformation during storage or shipment, the hose crimping prevention means positioned between the bottom of the housing and the pivotable trigger of the spray wand, thereby preventing full forward extension while the crimping prevention means is positioned therein.

2. The spray wand of claim 1 wherein

the means for removable mating engagement with the front of the housing at a rear end of the nozzle connector is a mating semicircular female slot with a semicircular housing.

3. The spray wand of claim 1 wherein

the means for removable mating engagement with a tapered wand tip at the front of the nozzle connector is a mating pair of wings at a rear of the tapered wand tip with a pair of receiving slots at the front of the nozzle connector.

4. A spray wand which comprises:

an essentially hollow elongated housing having a rear and a front;

a pivotable trigger biased in a forward direction;

at least one deformable plastic hose in leak-proof communication with a valve of at least one supply cannister at one end and in leak-proof communication with a rear inlet of a removable nozzle connector for a nozzle at an opposed end;

the nozzle connector comprising:

a means for removable mating engagement with the front of the housing at a rear end of the nozzle connector, wherein the means for removable mating engagement with the front of the housing at a rear end of the nozzle connector is a mating semicircular female slot with a semicircular housing; and

a means for removable mating engagement with a tapered wand tip at a front of the nozzle connector.

5. The spray wand of claim 4 wherein

the means for removable mating engagement with a tapered wand tip at the front of the nozzle connector is a mating pair of wings at a rear of the tapered wand tip with a pair of receiving slots at the front of the nozzle connector.

6. The spray wand of claim 4 wherein

the at least one deformable plastic hose in leak-proof communication with a valve of at least one supply cannister at one end and in leak-proof communication with the rear inlet of a removable nozzle connector for the nozzle at the opposed end is two deformable plastic hoses.

7. The spray wand of claim 1 wherein

the at least one deformable plastic hose in leak-proof communication with a valve of at least one supply cannister at one end and in leak-proof communication with the rear inlet of a removable nozzle connector for the nozzle at the opposed end is two deformable plastic hoses.

8. A spray wand which comprises:

an essentially hollow elongated housing having a rear and a front;

a pivotable trigger biased in a forward direction;

at least two deformable plastic hoses in leak-proof communication with a valve of at least one supply cannister at one end and in leak-proof communication with a rear inlet of a removable nozzle connector for a nozzle at an opposed end;

the nozzle connector comprising:

a means for removable mating engagement with the front of the housing at a rear end of the nozzle connector, wherein the means for removable mating engagement with the front of the housing at a rear end of the nozzle connector is a mating semicircular female slot with a semicircular housing; and

a means for removable mating engagement with a tapered wand tip at a front of the nozzle connector.

9. The spray wand of claim 8 wherein

the means for removable mating engagement with a tapered wand tip at the front of the nozzle connector is a mating pair of wings at a rear of the tapered wand tip with a pair of receiving slots at the front of the nozzle connector.
