Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A cleaning attachment for an elevated spray device having a U-shaped retaining bail extending along the sides of and across the top of said spray device and the legs thereof extending along the sides of a spray container, said attachment comprising a Ushaped member having substantially parallel legs adapted to extend along the legs of said bail of said spray device, means adapted to connect the legs of said member to the legs of said bail, and cleaning means connected to the bight portion of said U-shaped member at a location above said aerosol spray container when such container is supported by said device and said member is connected to said bail.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A cleaning attachment for an elevated spray device having a U-shaped retaining bail extending along the sides of and across the top of said spray device and the legs thereof extending along the sides of a spray container, said attachment comprising a Ushaped member having substantially parallel legs adapted to extend along the legs of said bail of said spray device, means adapted to connect the legs of said member to the legs of said bail, and cleaning means connected to the bight portion of said U-shaped member at a location above said aerosol spray container when such container is supported by said device and said member is connected to said bail.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
The attachment according to claim 1 in which the legs of said member are channel-shaped and the open faces thereof extend toward each other and are adapted to receive the legs of said bail between the flanges of the channels of said legs of said member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
88 words
The attachment according to claim 1 in which said cleaning means comprises a blade member connected to the bight portion of said U-shaped member, said bight portion of said member being positioned in use in outwardly spaced position above and beyond the bight portion of said bail of said spray device and the spray head of an aerosol container when supported by said spray device and said blade member being adapted to engage and loosen material desired to be removed from an area where spraying treatment is desired.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The attachment according to claim 3 in which said blade extends at an angle forwardly from said member and outward toward one side of a plane extending through the legs of said member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
36 words
The attachment according to claim 4 in which the outer edge of said blade extends in a direction substantially transversely to said legs of said U-shaped member and said outer edge being shaped for scraping purposes.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words
The attachment according to claim 1 in combination with the bail of said spray device and in which said means to connect the legs of said U-shaped member to said bail of said spray device comprises interfitting means respectively on the legs of said member and bail.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
The attachment according to claim 6 in which said U-shaped member of said attachment is formed from resilient material and the legs thereof being adapted to urge said interfitting connecting mEans into connected engagement with each other.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
95 words
The attachment according to claim 7 in which said interfitting connecting means comprise a pair of complementary recess and projection means respectively provided on the co-engageable portions of the legs of said U-shaped member and bail of said spray device, said connecting means being operable to prevent relative longitudinal movement between said member and bail and the flanges of the channels of the legs of said U-shaped member receiving the opposite sides of the legs of said bail of said spray device to prevent relative angular movement between the legs of said member and bail.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
56 words
The attachment according to claim 6 in which the bight portion of said U-shaped member is spaced from the bight portion of said bail of said spray device, whereby the spray nozzle of an aerosol container may be accommodated within said space between said bight portions to permit discharge of sprayed material laterally from said nozzle.
