Improvements in Apparatus for Producing and Distributing
Insecticide and Disinfecting Solutions.
I, JOHN JAMES STOTT of Barton House, Deansgate, Manchester in the County
of Lancaster, Yarn Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
This invention relates to apparatus for producing and delivering in the form of
spray or as a jet, insecticide disinfecting and similar solutions, which apparatus is
more particularly used for spraying trees plants and shrubs.
According to my improvements the insecticide or disinfecting material is placed
in a preferably tubular chamber into which water is delivered through an axial
perforated tube. The water becomes charged in the chamber with the disinfectant
or insecticide and is delivered therefrom through a strainer and sprayer or jet.
To avoid the wearing, of channels. by the water in the material contained in the
chamber, through which channels the water might ultimately pass without, becoming
charged, arrange in the chamber suitable stirrers or agitators capable of effecting
the uniform distribution of the material. This device may conveniently consist of
blades attached to the perforated pipe, and their movement may be effected by the
rotation of the pipe the end of which may pass through a packed gland and be
rotated as required by hand. The inlet end of the chamber is preferably formed
by a screw cap, which carries the perforated pipe and its packed gland, and the
chamber may readily be re-charged with material when this cap is unscrewed.
Water is generally delivered to the apparatus under pressure by a hose pipe
connected by a suitable union to the outer end of the perforated pipe.

Improvements in Apparatus for Producing and Distributing
Insecticide and Disinfecting Solutions.
1, JOHN JAMES STOTT of Barton House, Deansgate, Manchester, in the County
of Lancaster, Yarn Agent, do bereby declare the nature of this invention, and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to apparatus for producing and delivering, in the form of
spray or as a jet, insecticide, disinfecting and similar solutions, the apparatus being
more particularly adapted for spraying trees, plants, and shrubs.
According to my present improvements, the insecticide or disinfecting material
is placed in a preferably tubular chamber into which water can be delivered
through an axial perforated tube. The water becomes charged in the chamber
with the disinfectant or insecticide, and is delivered therefrom through a strainer
and a sprayer or jet.
To avoid the wearing of channels by the water in the material contained in the
chamber, through which channels the water might ultimately pass without becoming
Din 11

page_text: charged, I arrange in the chamber, suitable stirrers or agitators capable of effecting
the uniform distribution of the material. This device may conveniently consist of
blades or the like attached to the perforated pipe, and their movement may be
effected by the rotation of the pipe, the end or part of which may pass through a
packed gland. The projecting part of the pipe may be rotated by hand as
required. The inlet end of the chamber is preferably formed by a screw cap which
carries the perforated pipe and the packed gland, and the chamber may readily be
re-charged with material when this cap is unscrewed and temporarily removed.
Water is generally delivered to the apparatus under pressure, by means of a hose
pipe connected by a suitable union to the outer end of the perforated pipe.
The accompanying drawings illustrate the apparatus constructed according to
this invention.
Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation, a part of the jet pipe being shewn as
broken away.
Figure 2 is a cross section taken along the line - Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the spray producer, the view being at right angles to
that shewn by Figure 1.
A is a tubular chamber into which the insecticide or other material is introduced
after removal of the screwed cap B. CC are the blades which I prefer to employ
for the purpose of stirring up and distributing the material in the chamber A.
These blades are formed or secured upon the perforated pipe D, which is concentric
with the chamber and projects through the screwed cap B. Only that part of the pipe
which is contained within the chamber is perforated, and the opening in the screwed
cap through which it passes is made tight by the packed gland E. Outside the
chamber the pipe may be provided with a tap, and with a union F, by means of
which it may be connected with a hose. The inner end of the pipe may be borne
in a socket or bearing G, formed upon the strainer H, which preferably consists of
two parallel perforated plates between which one or more discs of metallic gauze
may be inserted.
The delivery pipe jet or nozzle I, may be of any suitable form
or construction such as that illustrated by the drawings, and which is already
known and in use.
In use, the chamber having received a supply of the insecticide or other material,
and having been closed and connected with a pump or water supply, the water
passes into the chamber through the perforations in the pipe D, where it dissolves
or becomes mixed with the insecticide or other material. From the chamber, the
mixture passes through the strainer to the jet or spray producer. If the projecting
part of the pipe D be rotated or partly rotated by hand whilst the apparatus is in
use, either intermittently or continuously, the blades C will distribute the material
in the chamber and prevent the formation of passages or channels through which
the water might pass without carrying any of the material with it as hereinbefore
described.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. An apparatus for distributing insecticide, disinfecting, and other like materials,
constructed arranged and operated substantially as hereinbefore described and as
illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
2. In apparatus for distributing insecticide, disinfecting and other like materials,
the combination and arrangement with the chamber, of stirrers or blades, and a
central perforated pipe constructed and operated substantially as aud for the
purpose hereinbefore described and as illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 15th day of May A.D. 1895.
