Abstract

A liquid applicator (10, 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D) having (i) a container (ii) for containing a supply of liquid in use; a positive displacement pump (12) in fluid communication with the container (ii) which has a variable capacity chamber for delivering a metered or measured dosage of liquid; (iii) a support housing or tube (19) which Is in flow communication with the positive displacement pump (12) and a contact device (20, 46A, 60) located adjacent to the support housing or tube (19) which is in flow communication therewith wherein metered amount(s) of liquid are delivered to a plant or other substrate. In another variation the positive displacement pump (12) Is replaced by a pump such as a bellows type pump (68) which also functions as a container for the fluid.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to applicator devices that can be used to selectively deliver fluids, including liquids and gels, to target substrates such as plants and other forms of vegetation and other substrates. Background technique [0002] Applicator devices are well known and reference can be made, for example, to US Patent 4,072,128 which comprises a body member in which a reservoir of liquid is located, a manually operated pump in communication with the reservoir and an applicator post mounted on the pump which can be connected to a hose. A metered amount of liquid is delivered to the inner surface of a portion of the tubular element by manually placing the tubular element portion on the applicator post and pressing inwardly on the top of the device. [0003] Reference is also made to US Patent No. 5,690,738 which describes a liquid dispenser and contact applicator having at least one roller for contacting an advancing workpiece and applying l...
