ABSTRACT:
A nozzle and cap structure is provided for a trigger-type pump sprayer allowing the user to conveniently reach top surfaces of objects above the user, as well as lower surfaces of objects below waist level, as well as any application for which the ability to direct the flow of liquid from such a sprayer in an upward or downward direction. A typical application is agricultural sprays such as insecticides, anti-fungal and anti-desiccants where both upper and lower surfaces of leaves should be coated. There also exists a vast array of applications for this device configuration where other hard-to-reach (or hard to treat) regions are involved, including both hand-held operations and remotely mechanized applications. The outlet or orifice of the nozzle cap is angularly configured relative to nozzle feed so that output is at an acute angle relative to the nozzle axis. A number of angular outlets may be provided in an adjustable cap. Through this arrangement, the fluid projecting or spraying device can remain in a nearly vertical orientation, and yet the flow will be at variously selected and fixed acute angles to the nozzle cap axis, depending on an adjustment of the cap position.
