Patent ID: 8882001

Claim:
A foam generating apparatus, comprising: a mixing manifold having an internal cavity defined by side walls, an inlet and an outlet, wherein the outlet is at an opposite end of the cavity from the inlet; a jet for spraying a pressurized, foam-forming liquid into the inlet of the manifold, wherein the jet is directed toward the outlet of the mixing manifold; a tube extending from one side wall of said cavity of said mixing manifold having an opening positioned approximately in the center of the mixing manifold relative to sides walls of the mixing manifold and downstream said jet; a gas line connected between a compressed gas tank and said tube for introducing a pressurized gas into the cavity of the manifold, downstream of the jet, wherein the gas is directed downstream, relative to the direction of flow of liquid through the manifold; and, a hose carried by said manifold having a first end connected to the outlet of the manifold and a second end; and a nozzle connected to the second end of the hose.
