PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Spray Producer.
I GEORGE NOBES, of 14 Rucklidge Avenue, Harlesden, London, N.W.
Sanitary Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as
follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct an improved apparatus for producing
sprays of liquid disinfectants, scents and the like, more particularly, but not
exclusively, applicable for use in hospitals, ships, cattle trucks and pens, urinals
and similar places where a powerful spray is required, the invention being also
applicable for use in spraying plants, flowers and the like with insecticides and
other liquids.
According to my invention I provide a receptacle in which a cylinder is fitted,
the receptacle being (preferably) formed entire without a lid or cap but provided
with a filling hole and cap and a suitable handle or stand. The cylinder is fitted
with a light piston held in a raised position by a spring, the piston having a piston
rod extending upward through the top of the receptacle and provided with a knob
or handle.
At or about the level of the under side of the raised piston, a number of holes
are formed in the cylinder to allow the fluid to gain access to the interior thereof.
A false bottom preferably coned or dished, is sometimes fitted to the receptacle in
order that the whole of its contents may be ejected if necessary. The lower end
of the cylinder is connected with a tube which passes upward between the cylinder
and the receptacle and through the side of the latter, the outer end of the tube
being provided with a perforated nozzle or rose.
The apparatus is preferably so constructed that there are no parts or materials
likely to become out of order cr perished, there being no rubber or leather parts or
stuffing boxes.

An Improved Spray Producer.
I, GEORGE NOBES of 14 Rucklidge Avenue Harlesden London N.W.
Sanitary Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :--
The object of my invention is to construct an improved apparatus for producing
sprays of liquid disinfectants scents and the like more particularly but not
exclusively applicable for use in hospitals ships cattle trucks and pens urinals
and similar places where a powerful spray is required the invention being also

page_text: applicable for use in spraying plants flowers and the like with insecticides and other
liquids.
According to my invention I provide a receptacle (a) in which a cylinder (b) is
fitted the receptacle being (preferably) formed as shown in the accompanying
drawing drawing without a separate lid or cap but is provided with a filling hole
and cap c and a suitable handle as shewn or a stand may be provided. The cylinder
is fitted with a light piston d held in a raised position by a spring e the piston
having a piston rod f extending upward through the top of the receptacle and
provided with a knob or handle h.
At or about the level of the under side of the raised piston, a number of holes i
are formed in the cylinder 6 to allow the fluid to gain access to the interior thereof.
A false bottom k preferably coned or dished, is sometimes fitted to the receptacle
in order that the whole of its contents may be ejected if necessary. The lower end
of the cylinder is connected with a tube l which passes upward between the cylinder
and the receptacle and through the side of the latter, the outer end of the tube
being provided with a nozzle or rose m.
The apparatus is preferably so constructed that there are no parts or materials
likely to become out of order or perished, there being no rubber or leather parts
or stuffing boxes.
In order to produce a spray, pressure is applied to the knob h whereby the
piston d is caused to travel down the cylinder & whereby the liquid therein is forced
up the tube to the rose or nozzle m from whence it issues in the form of spray.
It will be understood that as soon as the piston passes the holes i all outlets for
the liquid are closed with the exception of the tube l, no appreciable amount of
leakage taking place between the piston and the cylinder.
it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the particular arrangement
of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawing, the construction shewn being
intended only as illustrative of one arrangement which is convenient for general use.
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 I
claim is :-
1. The improved spray producer, substantially as set forth.
2. In spray producers for disinfecting, scenting and sprinkling purposes, the
combination with a receptacle a of a cylinder b, piston and piston rod and spring,
tube and rose or nozzle m, with or without the dished false bottom k, operating
substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the accompanying
drawing.
