Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a liquid mix dispensing gun which is constructed in a novel manner. The gun which has a hand grip and barrel region can receive two distinct liquids and during the course of the travel thereof throughout the housing of the gun one liquid is entrained in the other prior to issuing from the dispensing nozzle. The mode of construction is such that two simple molded housing parts encase and locate at least substantial portions of a nozzle part, a valving mechanism and conduiting, whereby a maximum number of simple molded parts can be utilized.

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
380 words
A fluid mixing and dispensing gun having the facility to receive and mix prior to dispensing two different liquids comprising; a molded housing formed in two parts adapted to be assembled together to form a hollow casing in the shape of a gun having a barrel region and a hand grip; a valve unit separately formed and implaceable in said housing at the hand grip end of said barrel, said valve unit comprising a conduit having an inlet and an outlet, a valve means to control the flow of liquid in said conduit, and a valve control means external of said housing to control the position of said valve; a nozzle unit separately formed and implaceable in said housing at the outer end of said barrel, said nozzle unit comprising a main conduit having an inlet at its inner end within said barrel and a nozzle outlet at its other end external of said barrel, a second nozzle unit conduit connected to said main conduit at one end and having a second inlet at its other end; a first tube member implaceable within said barrel and adapted to be removably connected at its ends in fluid tight engagement with said valve unit conduit outlet and said nozzle main conduit inlet; a liquid hose connector separately formed and implaceable within the lower portion of said hand grip of said housing comprising a conduit having an inlet at one end external to said housing and an outlet at its other end within said housing; a second tube member implaceable within said housing and adapted to be removably connected in fluid tight engagement at its ends to said connector outlet and said valve unit conduit inlet; flexible tubing removably implaceable at its outlet end portion within said housing and adapted to be connected at its outlet end in fluid tight engagement with said nozzle unit conduit second inlet, said flexible tubing extending through the lower portion of said hand grip; and said gun when assembled being such that when a first liquid is fed through said hose connector valve unit and nozzle unit and said flexible tubing is connected to a source of second liquid, said second liquid is drawn into and mixed with the stream of first liquid within said nozzle unit.

A fluid mixing and dispensing gun having the facility to receive and mix prior to dispensing two different liquids comprising; a molded housing formed in two parts adapted to be assembled together to form a hollow casing in the shape of a gun having a barrel region and a hand grip; a valve unit separately formed and implaceable in said housing at the hand grip end of said barrel, said valve unit comprising a conduit having an inlet and an outlet, a valve means to control the flow of liquid in said conduit, and a valve control means external of said housing to control the position of said valve; a nozzle unit separately formed and implaceable in said housing at the outer end of said barrel, said nozzle unit comprising a main conduit having an inlet at its inner end within said barrel and a nozzle outlet at its other end external of said barrel, a second nozzle unit conduit connected to said main conduit at one end and having a second inlet at its other end; a first tube member implaceable within said barrel and adapted to be removably connected at its ends in fluid tight engagement with said valve unit conduit outlet and said nozzle main conduit inlet; a liquid hose connector separately formed and implaceable within the lower portion of said hand grip of said housing comprising a conduit having an inlet at one end external to said housing and an outlet at its other end within said housing; a second tube member implaceable within said housing and adapted to be removably connected in fluid tight engagement at its ends to said connector outlet and said valve unit conduit inlet; flexible tubing removably implaceable at its outlet end portion within said housing and adapted to be connected at its outlet end in fluid tight engagement with said nozzle unit conduit second inlet, said flexible tubing extending through the lower portion of said hand grip; and said gun when assembled being such that when a first liquid is fed through said hose connector valve unit and nozzle unit and said flexible tubing is connected to a source of second liquid, said second liquid is drawn into and mixed with the stream of first liquid within said nozzle unit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
A dispensing gun as claimed in claim 1 wherein said flexible tubing extends beyond lower regions of said hand grip and is insertible into a container of said second liquid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
A dispensing gun as claimed in claim 1 wherein said valve means is positioned in said valve unit to adjust the flow through said valve unit conduit from open to close and said valve control means extends externally of said housing and is hand adjustable to adjust the desired degree of opening of said conduit.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A dispensing gun as claimed in claim 1 wherein said two housing parts are held together by fixing means selected from the group consisting of rivets, screws, nuts and bolts and adhesive.
