Abstract:
1. A portable, hand held pressurized sprayer comprising: a tank configured to hold a quantity of liquid and including: an electric pump module comprising an integrally connected pump connector, said pump connector having at least one key that is received by at least one slot of the tank connector on said tank, wherein said electric pump module is quickly and releasably connected to the tank by inserting said pump connector into said tank connector and then rotating said pump connector from an unlocked position into a locked position, and said electric pump module is quickly and releasably disconnected from the tank by rotating said pump connector from said tank connector from said locked position to said unlocked position and then removing said electric pump module, said electric pump module having an electric pump, a switch assembly, and a check valve; and a locking mechanism to limit rotation of said electric pump module on said tank, wherein said hand pump supplies the flow of said liquid from said tank when said electric pump module is disconnected from said tank, wherein said electric pump module directs a gas through said check valve into said tank connector to increase a gas pressure in said tank and force the liquid in said tank to flow through the feed line and out the spray nozzle, wherein said tank connector transports said gas into and out of said tank and enables said tank to remain pressurized after said electric pump module is disconnected from said tank connector, and wherein said switch assembly automatically turns off said electric pump when the gas pressure in said tank exceeds a predetermined limit while maintaining the flow of said liquid through the spray nozzle.
