6886784, May 3, 2005

Filed:

Oct 20, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/687613

Inventors:

Richard Howe - Punta Gorda FL, US

International Classification:

B64D001/00
B64D001/18

US Classification:

244136

Abstract:

A combination of an aircraft and spraying apparatus for spraying suspensions or solutions having predetermined characteristics independent of the speed of the aircraft, the apparatus consisting of a mounting frame attached to the underside of the aircraft, a plurality of bearing braces attached to the frame and a propeller shaft mounted through the bearing braces. A full feathering propeller is mounted on the forward end with a control running to the cockpit of the aircraft, and a rotary piston type high pressure pump connected to the aft end of the propeller. The input of the pump is connected to a supply tank in the aircraft and the output is connected to a spray boom. The spray nozzles consist of high pressure impingement nozzles.

Appl. No.:

10/847945

Inventors:

Richard Howe - Punta Gorda FL, US

Assignee:

Aeromister, LLC - Punta Gorda FL

International Classification:

B64D 1/18

US Classification:

244136, 239171

Abstract:

An aircraft attached apparatus/method for spraying pesticides having two propeller shafts attached to the aircraft. Each shaft has a full feathering propeller mounted at the forward ends of the propeller shaft and a control cable extending to the cockpit. High pressure pumps, typically piston pumps, are mounted on the aft ends of each of the propeller shafts. The input side of the pumps are connected to a tank, and the output side is connected to respective matrix spray boom assemblies. The forward ends of each of the spray boom assemblies are connected to the output side of each respective pump. Spray nozzles, typically impingement nozzles, are attached to each of the aft ends of each spray boom. The high pressure pumps have an electrically operated magnetic brake attached thereto, and each of the spray boom assemblies have a pressure transmitter connected to a digital display in said aircraft.

International Classification:

B05B 15/40
B01D 35/02
B05B 1/14
B05B 15/60

Abstract:

The nozzle system is ideally suited for use within a high-pressure chemical spray system. The preferred nozzles are impingement nozzles, where the chemical discharge leaves an orifice, and then collides with a distributor. The distributor breaks the stream of chemical into droplets, which then mix with the surrounding air.Stock nozzles are altered by: removing a paper filter from each of the one or more nozzles; removing a metal mesh screen from the one or more nozzles; installing a polypropylene filter with a pore size lesser than the orifice size; and installing the one or more nozzles into the nozzle array.

International Classification:

B05B 9/04

Abstract:

The leak-proof chemical distribution system is a spray system for mounting on a vehicle, such as a truck or aircraft, for the distribution of chemicals.The system is separated into a storage section and a distribution section.The storage section is located within the vehicle, and thus must be leakproof. The distribution section is located outside the vehicle, thus any connections or components that may leak will not leak on the vehicle.
