Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 191 words
An easily manipulated dual fluid spraying device comprising a handle, a steam gun and a separate liquid vaporizing gun, each gun being mounted on said handle and containing spring-biased normally closed valves movable longitudinally within generally cylindrical gun bodies, each of said guns having a nozzle at one end thereof and a lever actuated valve-opening means at the other end thereof movable in opposition to the bias of the valve spring during its valve-opening operation, a third flexible hose attached to said liquid vaporizing gun body exteriorly of said handle and adapted to supply liquid constantly thereto upstream of the valve therein, and a tubular connection extending from said steam gun upstream from the valve therein and having a pair of branch conduits communicating with said connection and with each other, said branch conduits having attached thereto first and second flexible hoses respectively and being adapted to communicate with a moving supply of dry steam, said first, and second hoses being attached to said steam gun body exteriorly of said handle and providing for circulation of condensate in the steam supply and for preventing accumulation of condensate in said steam gun.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 191 words
An easily manipulated dual fluid spraying device comprising a handle, a steam gun and a separate liquid vaporizing gun, each gun being mounted on said handle and containing spring-biased normally closed valves movable longitudinally within generally cylindrical gun bodies, each of said guns having a nozzle at one end thereof and a lever actuated valve-opening means at the other end thereof movable in opposition to the bias of the valve spring during its valve-opening operation, a third flexible hose attached to said liquid vaporizing gun body exteriorly of said handle and adapted to supply liquid constantly thereto upstream of the valve therein, and a tubular connection extending from said steam gun upstream from the valve therein and having a pair of branch conduits communicating with said connection and with each other, said branch conduits having attached thereto first and second flexible hoses respectively and being adapted to communicate with a moving supply of dry steam, said first, and second hoses being attached to said steam gun body exteriorly of said handle and providing for circulation of condensate in the steam supply and for preventing accumulation of condensate in said steam gun.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 51 words
A spraying device as defined in claim 1 including means for mounting said guns in side by side relation upon said handle, and means for encasing said hoses leading to said guns in the form of a bundle thereby to provide a compact arrangement adapted for ready manipulation by the user.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 71 words
A spraying device as defined in claim 1 wherein each of said valves includes a valve stem projecting from said other end of the body of the gun and each of said valve opening means includes a lever pivotally mounted on the body of the gun in engagement with said stem and having a member at its distal end readily engageable by the thumb of the user while holding said handle.
