Patent ID: 8616472

Claim:
An apparatus for spraying a substance into an interior area of a shoe, the apparatus comprising: a container providing a reservoir for the substance and an outlet channel; a sprayer coupled to the container and having: a spray former; at least one outflow opening in a first horizontal direction that can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for generating a first spray pattern; and at least one outflow opening in a second horizontal direction that can be brought into fluid communication with the reservoir for generating a second spray pattern; a pair of guidewalls extending outward from the at least one outflow opening in the first horizontal direction and the at least one outflow opening in the second horizontal direction, the pair of guidewalls being substantially planar and diverging from each other as the guidewalls extend outward; wherein the at least one outflow opening in the first horizontal direction and the at least one outflow opening in the second horizontal direction are spaced apart from each other so that the first and second spray patterns are in substantially opposite horizontal spraying directions; and wherein the at least one outflow opening in the first horizontal direction and the at least one outflow opening in the second horizontal direction differ from each other in at least one of a cross section and a dimension in order to create different spray patterns in the substantially opposite spray directions.
