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 case having a base and a cover connected to the base, the base and the cover moveable relative to one another to define an opened position of the case and a closed position of the case;
a boom connected to the case and manipulatable between a collapsed position when the case is in the closed position, and an extended position when the case is in the opened position;
one or more nozzles coupled to the boom and repositionable along a length of the boom;
a plurality of panels positioned relative to the case and configured to block spray from the one or more nozzles; 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 plurality of panels comprises a plurality of back wall panels and a plurality of side wall panels, and wherein the plurality of panels are secured or configured to be secured to the case.

3. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , further comprising a splash guard configured to be secured to a sidewall of the case.

4. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the boom is rotatably coupled to the case.

5. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pump is arrangeable outside of the case.

6. The demonstration kit of claim 5 , further comprising a control assembly separated from the case and configured to house the at least one pump.

7. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein the base is fluidly connectable to an external fluid source.

8. The demonstration kit of claim 7 , wherein the base is fluidically connected to the external fluid source in a manner to define a circulation path for the fluid between the boom and the base.

9. 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.

10. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , wherein at least the case, the plurality of panels, the boom, and the one or more nozzles collectively define a portable spray assembly.

11. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , further comprising a portable power supply in electrical communication with the at least one pump.

12. The demonstration kit of claim 11 , further comprising a control assembly adapted to control the at least one pump using a pulse width modulation signal.

13. The demonstration kit of claim 1 , further comprising a dampening assembly configured to dampen fluid flow caused by the at least one pump.

14. A method of using a spray demonstration kit, the method comprising:
arranging a case having a base and a cover to an open position by moving at least one edge of the base away from the cover; and
when the case is in the open position:
positioning a plurality of panels relative to the case;
moving a boom coupled to the case from a collapsed position to an extended position, the boom coupled with one or more nozzles; and
causing at least one pump that is fluidically connected to the one or more nozzles to spray a fluid from the one or more nozzles coupled with the boom.

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

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising arranging the case in a closed position by moving the at least one edge of the base toward the cover.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the boom is positioned with a cavity defined by the cover when the case is in the closed position.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein:
the boom is rotatably coupled to the case; and
the moving of the boom comprises rotating the boom from the collapsed position to the extended position.

19. The method of claim 14 , further comprising receiving the fluid sprayed from the one or more nozzles at the base, and causing the fluid to exit the base.

20. The method of claim 14 , wherein:
the method further comprises connecting the at least one pump to a control assembly separated from the case; and
the causing of the at least one pump to spray the fluid comprises using the control assembly to generate a signal that actuates the at least one pump.
