Abstract:
1. An apparatus for spraying material on a non-vertical surface comprising: a main frame having a longitudinal axis, said frame further having a first end and an opposite second end; a plurality of front and back wheels rotatably mounted to said frame to allow movement of said frame across a non-vertical surface in a direction alone said longitudinal axis; an arm mounted to said frame and extending outwardly of said frame and said wheels in a direction away from said longitudinal axis; a reservoir to hold material to be sprayed onto the non-vertical surface; a plurality of outlets connected to said reservoir, said outlets mounted to said arm and opening downwardly toward said non-vertical surface, said outlets being positioned outwardly of said frame and said wheels dispensing said material outwardly of said wheels limiting contact between said material and said front and back wheels; control means connected to said reservoir to controllably force material within said reservoir and out said outlets onto said non-vertical surface; a chamber connected to said reservoir to receive material therefrom; a plurality of conduits connecting separately each of said outlets to said chamber applying equal material pressure within said chamber to each of said outlets; said arm includes a plurality of outlet mounts releasably receiving said outlets allowing said outlets to be adjusted to and from said non-vertical surface and positioned at various locations along said arm for pattern adjustment of material dispensed onto said non-vertical surface; a spray gun receptacle mounted to said main frame; a hand-holdable spray gun connected to said chamber and normally positioned in said receptacle but removable therefrom to manually spray material on said non-vertical surface; a handle connected to said main frame to grasp and push said main frame in a first direction of travel alone said longitudinal axis across said non-vertical surface while material is dispensed from said outlets; handle-mounting means on said main frame and connected to said handle operable to allow adjustment of said handle in a first position relative to said main frame at a desired acute angle; said main frame includes wheel mounting means connected to said plurality of wheels operable to allow adjustment of spacing between said wheels in a direction perpendicular to said longitudinal axis; said main frame includes mounting means connected to said arm operable to allow adjustment of said outlets relative to said non-vertical surface; and a hose connecting said reservoir to said chamber to locate said reservoir remotely relative to said main frame, said hose extending away from said main frame on a side opposite of said arm allowing positioning said hose apart from material sprayed on said non-vertical surface by said outlets; said wheels include two front wheels and two back wheels, said arm positions said outlets along a line extending perpendicular from said longitudinal axis between said front wheels and said back wheels; and wherein; said handle means operable to allow said handle to pivot away from said first position over said first end of said frame to a second position over said opposite second end of said frame to allow said handle to be pushed and said main frame to be moved in a direction reverse from said first direction of travel.
