ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for spraying livestock with liquid substances is disclosed. A liquid insecticide tank is mounted on a supporting base. A housing is provided mounted on top of the tank, with a housing covering a trough or container provided for holding feed or another substance to be ingested by an animal. A liquid propane tank is mounted to the housing and is connected to provide a regulated pressure to the liquid tank. A three-wave bulb valve is mounted to extend above and forward of the housing and is connected at one port to the liquid under pressure, at another port to a spray nozzle, and at a third port to an upwardly extending chamber providing a vertical air column. Position of the valve is controlled by a mechanical linkage operated by a hinged face flap which an animal must move out of the way in order to access the substance to be ingested. In a normal or inactive condition the valve provides fluid communication between the chamber and the pressurized liquid such that a quantity of liquid is pushed up into the chamber to press the air column. When an animal moves the face flap out of the way to access the substance the valve is moved by the mechanical linkage to a second position in which the chamber is in fluid communication with the spray nozzle whereby the quantity of liquid is propelled by the compressed column out the spray nozzle over the animal.
