Abstract

The present application relates generally to a demonstration kit for various nozzles. The demonstration kit may include a spray assembly and a control assembly. The spray assembly may include a case having a base and a cover rotatably coupled to the base, a plurality of back wall panels configured to be secured to a sidewall of the base, a boom connected to an interior surface of the case, and one or more nozzles connected to the boom and repositionable along a length of the boom. The control assembly includes at least one pump that when in an operating orientation is fluidly connected to the one or more nozzles and a portable power supply in electrical communication with the at least one pump.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A demonstration kit comprising:
a spray assembly comprising:
a case having a base and a cover rotatably coupled to the base;
a plurality of back wall panels configured to be secured to a sidewall of the case in an opened position of the case;
a boom rotatably coupled to the case such that the boom is configured to rotate from a collapsed position to an extended position when the case is in the opened position; and
one or more nozzles coupled to the boom and repositionable along a length of the boom;

a control assembly comprising an electrical input; and
at least one pump that when in an operating orientation is fluidly connected to the one or more nozzles.

2. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the one or more nozzles are coupled to the boom by one or more nozzle turrets.

3. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pump is controlled by a pulse width modulation signal.

4. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the control assembly further comprises a dampening assembly to dampen pulses in the fluid pumped by the at least one pump.

5. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein in the collapsed position, the boom is positioned within a cavity defined by the cover, and in the extended position, the boom is positioned proximate a top edge of the cover.

6. A spray pattern demonstration system comprising:
a control case, comprising:
an electrical input;
a control panel in electrical communication with the electrical input; and
a first pump in electrical communication with the control panel and the electrical input; and

a spray case in selective fluid and electrical communication with the control case, comprising:
a plurality of nozzles coupled to the spray case and fluidly coupled to the first pump, wherein the control panel varies one or more characteristics of the first pump for controlling delivery of fluid to the nozzles.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein during operation the first pump pumps fluid from the reservoir to the plurality of nozzles.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the spray case further comprises a fluid drain path fluidly connecting the nozzles to the reservoir, wherein during operation fluid is recirculated within the system.

9. The system of claim 6 , wherein the control case further comprises a second pump in electrical communication with the control panel and the electrical input; and
the spray case further comprises a second reservoir in selective communication with the second pump, wherein
the first reservoir and the second reservoir are fluidly separated from each other; and
the first pump and the second pump are independently controlled by the control panel.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the control panel varies one or more characteristics of the first pump via a pulse width modulation signal provided to the first pump.

11. The system of claim 6 , wherein the first reservoir is formed integrally with the spray case.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the first reservoir comprises at least one drainage area.

13. A method of using a spray demonstration kit, the method comprising:
positioning a spray assembly case having a base and a cover rotatably coupled to the base to an opened position;
moving a boom coupled to the spray assembly case from a collapsed position to an extended position in the opened position of the case;
coupling a control assembly to the spray assembly case; and
actuating the control assembly coupled to at least one pump fluidly connected to one or more nozzles to spray a fluid from the one or more nozzles connected to the boom.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising positioning the one or more nozzles on the boom.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the one or more nozzles are coupled to the boom by one or more nozzle turrets, and wherein the nozzle turrets are rotatable.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein during use, the base is configured to receive fluid from the nozzles.

17. The method of claim 16 , further comprising the step of draining the fluid to the at least one pump and recirculating the fluid.

18. The method of claim 13 , wherein after use, further comprising the step of storing the boom in the spray assembly case.

19. The method of claim 13 , wherein after use, further comprising the step of decoupling the spray assembly case from the control assembly such that the spray assembly case and the control assembly are separately portable.
