A fluid dispensing apparatus may be used to dispense a paint fluid from a paint container that is under pressure and that has a pierceable membrane. The fluid dispensing apparatus may include a valve body having a bore, an adaptor having a bore and a piercing member, and a nozzle having a bore. The fluid dispensing apparatus may be operable to pierce the pierceable membrane to communicate the paint within the paint container with the adaptor bore and with the valve body bore. The nozzle may be operable to permit the paint to flow under the pressure out of the paint container, through the adaptor bore, through the valve body bore and through the nozzle bore to ambient.

The invention pertains generally to an improved fluid dispensing device, particularly a dispensing device which employs at least one hemispherical domed cannister source of reactants and which uses a color-changing dispensing plastic tip to inform the end-user if the reactants are at a proper use temperature.

An actuable shaft assembly for a spray mop assembly includes first and second hollow elongated outer shaft segments in which first and second elongated actuating rod segments are telescopingly disposed, respectively. The first and second outer shaft segments include respective first and second shaft retaining elements extending into their hollow interiors. The first and second rod segments include respective first and second rod retaining elements extending radially outward from their outer peripheral surfaces. The rod retaining elements and shaft retaining elements are sized and disposed to limit telescoping movement of the associated rod segments outward from the shaft segment ends.

An apparatus, method, and system that uses a lever action hand grip that can include an adjustable receiver for a variety of diameters, form factors, and other variables for different containers of liquids or aerosols that are desired to be dispensed. A linkage connects the lever action hand-grip to a working end. The working end moves in arcuate fashion in response to pivoting of the lever. The proportional working end motion path can serve to both push down an aerosol spray head to dispense, or laterally push or pump other types of dispensing heads. Optionally, the linkage can have at least one, and sometimes two or three, different adjustments for such things as size and location of a dispensing head for a variety of dispensing containers and types, range of motion, type of interface at the working end, and specifically what type of working end relative to a dispensing head of a container or bottle.

A spray canister holding apparatus that includes a collar for connecting to a spray canister, made of a non-continuous circular gripping structure having at least one opening along a circumference of the circular gripping structure, a lever arm rotation member, a vertical backing member attached to a posterior continuous portion of the circular gripping structure and extending upwards from the circular gripping structure, and a wire support opening connected to the circular gripping structure. The apparatus also includes a lever arm on the collar, a connecting wire attached to the lever arm, a handgrip attached to the connecting wire, and a discharging nodule appended to the lever arm, where the discharging nodule acts on a spray canister dispenser button.

A remotely controlled material delivery system having at least one canister, for containing a material; a nozzle; a manifold to direct movement of the material from the canister to the nozzle; a valve mechanism to control the flow of material; a signal receiver; a power source; a mounting adapter; and a remote controller operable to generate a signal wherein the signal is transmitted from the remote controller to the signal receiver, wherein the receiver can open and close the valve in response to the remotely generated signal and wherein the signal can be transmitted through a wired connection, an optical connection, or wirelessly from the remote controller to the signal receiver.

An electromagnetic locate device configured for removable attachment to a handheld paint marking device includes an elongated element extending substantially a length of the handheld paint marking device, a channel extending longitudinally along the elongated element, the channel configured for accepting at least a portion of the handheld paint marking device, fasteners located on the elongated element, the fasteners configured to fasten the handheld paint marking device to the elongated element, electromagnetic antennas located along a length of the elongated element, the electromagnetic antennas configured for producing electromagnetic data responsive to an electromagnetic field emanating from a buried asset, and a housing coupled to a top of the elongated element, the housing including a processor communicably coupled to the electromagnetic antennas and configured to process the electromagnetic data from the electromagnetic antennas, so as to produce buried asset data, and a display for displaying said buried asset data.

A spray canister holding apparatus that includes a collar for connecting to a spray canister, made of a non-continuous circular gripping structure having at least one opening along a circumference of the circular gripping structure, a lever arm rotation member, a vertical backing member attached to a posterior continuous portion of the circular gripping structure and extending upwards from the circular gripping structure, and a wire support opening connected to the circular gripping structure. The apparatus also includes a lever arm on the collar, a connecting wire attached to the lever arm, a handgrip attached to the connecting wire, and a discharging nodule appended to the lever arm, where the discharging nodule acts on a spray canister dispenser button.

An upper assembly has a housing adapted to receive a spray can of the type including a button with an exhaust port. The upper assembly has a lateral opening, an upper support arm is secured to and extends laterally from the housing, and a lower support arm. An actuating lever has an interior end pivotably coupled to the housing adjacent to the lateral opening, an exterior end formed with an upper aperture, and a central extent located above the button. A lower assembly has a cylindrical support and a trigger. The trigger has a pivot end rotatably coupled to the cylindrical support, a free end adapted to be depressed to rotate the pivot end of the trigger, a lower aperture adjacent to the pivot end, and a spring between the cylindrical support and the free end of the trigger.
