Abstract

A double tentacle pump system for a liquid sprayer includes first and second tentacle pumps positioned serially within a flow path that extends between a liquid container and the outlet of the sprayer. A motor is configured to actuate the first and second tentacle motors in response to a user directed trigger, thereby causing fluid to be moved from the container and expelled from the sprayer.

a. a liquid reservoir;

b. the liquid sprayer fluidly connected to the liquid reservoir and having an outlet;

c. a fluid flow path extending from the liquid reservoir to the outlet;

d. a first tentacle pump extending between the liquid reservoir and the sprayer within the fluid flow path;

e. a second tentacle pump extending within the fluid flow path, downstream of the first tentacle pump; and

f. at least one power supply for providing power to the first and second tentacle pumps.

2. The double tentacle pump system for a liquid sprayer according to claim 1 , further comprising a shut-off valve positioned within the flow path.
