Patent ID: 8132741

Claim:
A spraying apparatus for applying liquid to a surface, comprising: a frame; a dome-shaped hood supported by the frame in a closed position of the hood and directly coupled to the frame via a first hinge having a first substantially horizontal geometric axis, the hood having a top side facing generally upwards and an underside facing generally downwards while in the closed position, the hood movable relative to the frame from the closed position substantially parallel to a surface to an open position about the substantially horizontal geometric axis of the first hinge, the hood comprising a first portion and at least one second portion coupled to the first portion via a second hinge having a second substantially horizontal geometric axis substantially perpendicular to the substantially horizontal geometric axis while the hood is in the closed position, the at least one second portion movable relative to the first portion from a first position substantially parallel to the first portion to a second position about the second substantially horizontal geometric axis; and one or more spray heads coupled to the underside of the hood and configured to spray a liquid on the surface, the one or more spray heads and the dome-shaped hood configured such that the dome-shaped hood provides a wind barrier for the liquid sprayed from the one or more spray heads.
