Abstract
Abstract The drenching gun of the present invention comprises a cylinder having an outlet opening in one end. A plunger is mounted within the cylinder and is adapted to reciprocate therein. A nozzle is attached to the outlet end of the cylinder and includes a one-way valve which is fitted within a tube in the outlet end of the chamber. The valve is integral with the nozzle. All of the forces between the cylinder and the nozzle are borne by metal parts, and a pair of pins are provided on the nozzle for cooperating with axial slots in the cylinder to hold the nozzle against rotational movement with respect to the cylinder.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
393 words
A drenching gun comprising: an elongated cylinder comprising an inner plastic housing and an outer metal housing surrounding said plastic housing; said inner plastic housing having an elongated plastic barrel portion containing a cylindrical plastic barrel bore therein, said barrel bore having first and second opposite ends; said inner plastic housing having a plastic tube portion forming a plastic tube bore smaller in cross section than said plastic barrel bore end extending axially from said first end of said plastic barrel bore, said plastic tube portion having a distal end extending axially away from said plastic barrel portion; said outer metal housing having a metal tube portion forming a metal tube bore having an inner axial end and an outer axial end; said plastic tube portion extending partially within said inner axial end of said metal tube bore; a plunger mounted within said plastic barrel bore for reciprocating axial movement therein toward and away from said first end of said plastic barrel tube so as to form a variably sized barrel chamber within said plastic barrel bore between said plunger and said first end of said barrel bore; said plunger containing a plunger chamber adapted to be connected to a source of fluid; a first one way valve means within said plunger for permitting fluid to pass from said plunger chamber to said barrel chamber, said one way valve means preventing fluid flow from said cylinder chamber to said plunger chamber; nozzle means having an outlet end and an inlet end, said inlet end having a second one way valve fixedly attached thereto for permitting fluid flow from said inlet end to said outlet end of said nozzle and for preventing fluid flow from said outlet end to said inlet end of said nozzle, said nozzle means including a nozzle shank adjacent said second one way valve means; said second valve means protruding within said plastic tube bore of said inner plastic housing and said nozzle shank protruding within said metal tube bore of said outer metal housing adjacent said outer axial end of said metal tube bore, said nozzle shank being in contact with said metal tube of said outer metal housing and being free from contact with said plastic tube of said inner plastic housing; securing means detachably securing said nozzle shank within said metal tube bore of said metal tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
393 words
A drenching gun comprising: an elongated cylinder comprising an inner plastic housing and an outer metal housing surrounding said plastic housing; said inner plastic housing having an elongated plastic barrel portion containing a cylindrical plastic barrel bore therein, said barrel bore having first and second opposite ends; said inner plastic housing having a plastic tube portion forming a plastic tube bore smaller in cross section than said plastic barrel bore end extending axially from said first end of said plastic barrel bore, said plastic tube portion having a distal end extending axially away from said plastic barrel portion; said outer metal housing having a metal tube portion forming a metal tube bore having an inner axial end and an outer axial end; said plastic tube portion extending partially within said inner axial end of said metal tube bore; a plunger mounted within said plastic barrel bore for reciprocating axial movement therein toward and away from said first end of said plastic barrel tube so as to form a variably sized barrel chamber within said plastic barrel bore between said plunger and said first end of said barrel bore; said plunger containing a plunger chamber adapted to be connected to a source of fluid; a first one way valve means within said plunger for permitting fluid to pass from said plunger chamber to said barrel chamber, said one way valve means preventing fluid flow from said cylinder chamber to said plunger chamber; nozzle means having an outlet end and an inlet end, said inlet end having a second one way valve fixedly attached thereto for permitting fluid flow from said inlet end to said outlet end of said nozzle and for preventing fluid flow from said outlet end to said inlet end of said nozzle, said nozzle means including a nozzle shank adjacent said second one way valve means; said second valve means protruding within said plastic tube bore of said inner plastic housing and said nozzle shank protruding within said metal tube bore of said outer metal housing adjacent said outer axial end of said metal tube bore, said nozzle shank being in contact with said metal tube of said outer metal housing and being free from contact with said plastic tube of said inner plastic housing; securing means detachably securing said nozzle shank within said metal tube bore of said metal tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
58 words
A drenching gun according to claim 1 wherein said securing means comprises a flange fixed to said nozzle means and engaging said metal tube portion outside and adjacent said outer axial end of said metal tube bore, and a collar surrounding said metal tube portion and engaging said flange to secure said flange to said metal tube portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
66 words
A drenching gun according to claim 1 wherein said metal tube portion of said outer metal housing includes at least one axially extending slot adjacent said outer axial end of said metal tube bore, said nozzle means having at least one pin extending radially outwardly with respect to said metal tube bore and protruding within said slot to prevent relative rotation between said nozzle and cylinder.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A drenching gun according to claim 3 wherein said pin is free from engagement with any part of said inner plastic housing.
