The directional valve (54) is configured to switch between a delivery position in which the proximal chamber (525) of the vessel assembly (51, 52) and the pressure medium port (541) are in fluid connection, and a charging position in which the proximal chamber (525) of the vessel assembly (52) and the pressure medium port (541) are fluid tight towards each other.

PROGRAMMABLE BUCKET AND METHOD OF USE AND MANUFACTURE
20240000027 · 2024-01-04 ·

A device and method of watering plants using a programmable bucket is described. In one version, the programmable bucket uses a reservoir for water, a pump, at least one minimum pressure valve, a control enclosure, a water level switch, a flow meter, a watering hose, and a cover with an opening adapted to facilitate filling of the reservoir with a funnel and a removable plug. In use, power to the control enclosure is turned on and the reservoir is filled with water, setting the calibrated amount of water. The watering hose is removed from a recycling adaptor, the pump is activated through use of pushbuttons on the control enclosure, water fills the watering hose, once it reaches a minimum pressure valve water exits the hose under pressure, a signal from flow meter changes a volume of water in reservoir.

Modular frame for a backpack sprayer

A modular frame for a backpack sprayer system includes a frame plate having a front surface, a back surface and first and second side edges. A first receiving channel is located along the first side edge and a second receiving channel is located along the second side edge. A support member has a first arm which is received within the first receiving channel and a second arm which is received within the second receiving channel. A stand portion extends at an angle relative to the first and second arms. A mounting member is coupled to the front surface of the frame plate and mounts a tank and a pump unit thereon. The mounting member includes opposing left and right sides, a planar top face and a front face including a concave portion to receive at least a portion of one or both of the tank and the pump unit.
