Abstract
Abstract A spraying device including an air blower mounted to a frame and a duct having one end connected to the air blower for receiving forced air therefrom. The opposite end of the duct defines a pair of oppositely directed discharge heads which project from opposite sides of the spraying device and which each have an outlet mouth. Nozzle means are connected to a source of spray material and are adapted to project spray material into the path of the forced air passing through each outlet mouth. Means are mounted in the duct between the discharge heads for causing said forced air to be diverted into a selected one of the discharge heads and out the outlet mouth associated therewith.
