Abstract

A sprayer portable on the back for spraying liquids comprises a tank ( 2 ), a hand lever ( 4 ), a pump ( 12 ) and a pressure vessel, wherein the pressure vessel is formed by a hollow space in the hand lever ( 4 ) and the pump ( 12 ) is arranged in the hollow space. The piston rod ( 13 ) of the pump is rotatably connected to a lever element ( 15 ) of the hand lever. A connecting sleeve ( 16 ) for a hose with a spray nozzle is integrated in the hand lever. The compact configuration of the sprayer allows a larger tank volume and more convenient operation. The sprayer can be manufactured at low cost due to the small number of components.

Claims (12)

1. A portable sprayer for spraying liquids, comprising a tank, a pump, a hand lever which is rotatable about a hinge pin for actuating the pump, a pressure vessel for receiving pressurized liquid, and a hose with a valve and a nozzle or a lance for spraying pressurized liquid from the hand lever, wherein the hand lever of the sprayer comprises a hollow space with an opening, wherein the pump is arranged with a pump cylinder, a piston and a piston rod in the hollow space, and the pump cylinder of the pump and the opening of the hand lever is closed in a sealing fashion, and the pressure vessel is formed by the hollow space and the tightly closed opening, and the piston rod is rotatably connected to the hinge pin of the hand lever via a lever element.

2. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the opening of the hollow space and the pump cylinder are tightly closed towards the outside by a removable closure device.

3. A portable sprayer according to claim 2 , wherein the closing device is formed by a closure device with a thread or a snap lock.

4. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the hand lever is made of a lightweight or plastic material.

5. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the hand lever comprises a connecting sleeve for the hose, wherein the connecting sleeve is arranged as a part of the hand lever.

6. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the piston rod is formed having a hollow space and forms a suction line for the liquid from the tank to the pump cylinder.

7. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the pump comprises a bellows for static sealing to the outside.

8. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the pump comprises an opening to the hollow space of the hand lever, which opening is provided with a non-return valve.

9. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein a non-return valve is arranged on the piston of the pump as a return flow barrier.

10. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the piston of the pump comprises an inner piston lip and an outer piston lip, and a freely movable O-ring is arranged between the inner piston lip and the outer piston lip.

11. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the entire hand lever can be removed from the hinge pin for the purpose of actuating the hand lever from a horizontal starting position and also a vertical starting position, and can be fixed in a horizontal position as well as in a vertical position, parallel to the tank.

12. A portable sprayer according to claim 1 , wherein the hinge pin is fixed by means of a snap-on hook to the pedestal apparatus.
