Abstract:
1. A fluid delivery device for applying fluid to an object, comprising: a spray head; a fluid conduit connected to the spray head; a driver for moving the spray head into a spray position relative to the object; a support arm including an extendable section and a flexible section in the form of a coil, wherein the flexible section connects the spray head to the extendable section and wherein the coil is sufficiently resilient to support and locate the spray head in its desired location and is sufficiently flexible to deflect if hit; an actuator for causing fluid to be sprayed via the spray head; and a control mechanism that ensures that a) the spray head is moved by the driver substantially to an area of the object to be sprayed, b) the fluid is supplied to the spray head once the spray head is in position, and the fluid device actuated, and c) the spray head is withdrawn from position after spray has been supplied to the object.
