Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A nozzle assembly comprising:

an adapter configured for insertion into a pressurized container, wherein a nozzle has been removed from the pressurized container;

a flexible tubing having a first end connected to the adapter and a second end configured to extend outwardly of the pressurized container;

a discharge nozzle connected to the second end of the tubing, the discharge nozzle having an actuator button configured to selectively activate the discharge nozzle;

a discharge device, wherein the discharge nozzle is adapted to be removably inserted into the discharge device, wherein the discharge device comprises a trigger configured to activate the discharge nozzle, wherein the discharge device comprises a manifold adapted to receive a plurality of discharge nozzles, and wherein the discharge device comprises a handle and wherein the manifold is rotatably mounted on the handle.

2. The nozzle assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter comprises a hollow pin adapted to be inserted into the pressurized container.

3. The nozzle assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the adapter comprises a flange connected to the hollow pin.

4. The nozzle assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the adapter further comprises a check valve inserted therein.

5. The nozzle assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the check valve comprises a ball, a seat, and a biasing member adapted to bias the ball against the seat.

6. The nozzle assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the discharge nozzle is releasably connected to the tubing.

7. The nozzle assembly according to claim 1 , further comprising an activating device, wherein, when the adapter is inserted into the pressurized container, and the adapter and the pressurized container are inserted into the activating device, operation of the activating device discharges fluid from the pressurized container and through the adapter.

8. The nozzle assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the manifold comprises an activating rod adapted to engage each of the plurality of discharge nozzles.

9. The nozzle assembly according to claim 8 , wherein the activating rod is operatively connected to the trigger.

10. A nozzle assembly comprising:

an adapter configured for insertion into a pressurized container, wherein a nozzle has been removed from the pressurized container;

a flexible tubing having a first end connected to the adapter and a second end configured to extend outwardly of the pressurized container;

a discharge nozzle connected to the second end of the tubing, the discharge nozzle having an actuator button configured to selectively activate the discharge nozzle; and

a manifold adapted to receive a plurality of discharge nozzles, and wherein the discharge device comprises a handle and wherein the manifold is rotatably mounted on the handle.

11. The nozzle assembly according to claim 10 , further comprising an activating device adapted to depress the hollow pin into the pressurized container.

12. The nozzle assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the activating device comprises a caulking gun.

13. The nozzle assembly according to claim 11 , wherein the flange is adapted to engage the activating device.

14. The nozzle assembly according to claim 10 , further comprising a discharge device releasably attachable to the discharge nozzle such that operation of the discharge device allows a pressurized fluid to be discharged from the discharge nozzle.

15. The nozzle assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the discharge device comprises a plurality of receivers adapted to each releasably receive one of a plurality of discharge nozzles.

16. The nozzle assembly according to claim 14 , wherein the discharge device comprises a trigger.
