PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Apparatus for Distributing Liquid Manures, Paraffin, or other
Liquids for Horticultural Purposes.
I GEORGE FREDERICK STRAWSON of Newbury in the County of Berks Chemical
Manure Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The object of this Invention is to produce a simple and effective apparatus for
distributing liquid manures for dressing garden land also suitable for distributing
liquid paraffin or other liquids over plants trees or shrubs for the purpose of destroying
green Hy or other insect pests.
According to this invention I provide a centrifugal fan or other suitable pressure
blower having two or more delivery orifices preferably one at the top and one at the
bottom thereof such orifices being capable of being closed independently of one
another by means of suitable slides or valves. To these orifices are connected
suitable pipes or tubes capable of movement if necessary in every direction to
convey the air blast to any desired point-attached to or inside the flexible tubes
above mentioned are other flexible or articulated tubes terminating in suitable
nozzles at a short distance from and inside the outer end of the first named tubes the
orifices of which latter may also be contracted to any desired extent.
The fan or blower is actuated by a crank handle or other suitable means the
requisite velocity being imparted to the fan or blower by means of intermediate
gearing.
The lower delivery orifice and tube is used when distributing liquids over the
surface of the ground and the upper one when using the apparatus to dress trees or
shrubs the orifice not in use being closed by the valve or slide.
The liquids to be distributed is contained in a suitable receptacle and may run
from thence by gravity to the lower delivery tube and may be forced to the end of
the upper one by any suitable means such as a pump worked from the crank handle
or any other convenient portion of the mechanism.
The whole apparatus may be covered in by a suitable case to protect it from wet
and dirt and mounted on a suitable carriage for easy transport.
The delivery tubes may be connected to their respective delivery orifices by means
of couplings and when not in use may be disconnected therefrom and stowed inside
the case.

1, GEORGE FREDERICK STRAWSON, of Newbury, in the County of Berks, Chemical
Manure Manufacturer, do hereby 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 :-
The object of this invention is to produce a simple and effective apparatus for
distributing liquid manures for dressing garden land, also suitable for distributing
liquid, paraffin or other liquids over plants, trees or shrubs for the purpose of destroying
green fly or other pests.
According to this invention I provide a centrifugal fan or other suitable pressure

the bottom thereof, such orifices being capable of being closed independently of one
another by means of suitable slides or valves. To these orifices are connected
suitable pipes or tubes, such as flexible metallic tubing or indiarubber hose, capable
of movement, if necessary, in every direction, to convey the air blast to any desired
point. Attached to, or inside the flexible tubes above mentioned, are other flexible
or articulated tubes (preferably made of flexible metallic tubing) terminating in
suitable nozzles at a short distance from and inside the outer end of the first nained
tubes, the orifices of which latier may also be contracted to any desired extent.
machine is actuated by a crank, handle or other suitable means, the requisite
velocity being imparted to the fan or blower by means of intermediate gearing.
The
The lower delivery orifice and tube are used when distributing liquids over the
surface of the ground, and the upper one when using the apparatus to dress tress or
shrubs, the orifice not in use being closed by a valve or slide, or instead of using two
delivery tubes, as above, I may use one only, and attach the same to whichever
orifice from the fan is most convenient, and close the orifice not in use with a
suitable cap.
The liquid to be distributed is contained in a suitable receptacle and may run
from thence by gravity to the lower delivery tube, and may he forced to the end of
the upper one by any suitable means, such as a pump worked from the crank handle,
or any other convenient portion of the mechanism.
The whole apparatus may be covered in by a suitable case to protect it from wet
and dirt and mounted on a suitable carriage, for easy transport.
The delivery tubes may be connected to their respective delivery orifices by means
of couplings, and when not in use may be disconnected therefrom and stowed in the
-case.
