SPRAY MIST ASSIST SYSTEM FOR A LIQUID PUMP SPRAYER
A spray mist assist assembly for a liquid sprayer utilizes an auxiliary blower positioned below the sprayer's nozzle. The positioning of the blower in vertical alignment with but in vertically spaced relation below the nozzle permits the mist expelled from the nozzle to extend farther from the sprayer to enhance the performance of the sprayer.
1 . A sprayer for spraying a liquid, comprising:
a. a nozzle through which the liquid can be expelled in a first direction away from the sprayer;
b. a fan positioned in vertical alignment with and axially below the nozzle and for generating an air flow in a second direction that is parallel to the first direction; and
c. a fan outlet positioned in the path of the air flow and from which the air is expelled away from the sprayer.
2 . The sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the fan outlet is selectively pivotal about the second direction to selectively adjust the direction of the expelled air flow towards or away from the first direction.
3 . The sprayer for spraying a liquid, comprising:
a. a sprayer housing;
b. a nozzle connected to the sprayer housing and through which the liquid can be expelled in a first direction away from the sprayer;
c. a fan positioned within the sprayer housing and including a fan outlet that extends outside the sprayer housing and is positioned in axially spaced relation below the nozzle; and
d. wherein the fan is mounted within the sprayer housing for selective pivotal movement that causes movement of the fan outlet towards or away from the nozzle.
