Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a spray application system and methods of using these systems. A spray application system is provided that allows for the addition of another component or components (e.g., an additive and/or water) when applying a fluid material, such as, e.g., a coating and/or adhesive, in a low or no moisture environment, including, e.g., a dry environment and/or a closed system.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

When a moisture-cured fluid material, such as, e.g., a coating and/or adhesive, is applied in an environment having no or low access to moisture, including, e.g., a dry environment like summertime in Arizona or a closed system, this can generally cause an extremely long curing time, which may result in the failure of the job. In this situation, adding additional moisture (e.g., an additive and/or water) to the system may be critical to significantly help and/or speed up the curing process. There is thus a need for a spray application system and method that can supply one or more components (such as, e.g., an additive and/or moisture) to the moisture-cured fluid material to assist with the curing process.

FIG. 1 illustrates a spray application system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. In this embodiment, the spray application system 100 includes an airless spray device 110 configured to receive a fluid material (e.g., a coating and/or adhesive) and to spray the fluid material onto a surface (e.g., a roofing surface). As shown in FIG. 1, the airless spray device 110 includes a body portion 115 having (i) a trigger 116 that is configured to allow for a user to spray the fluid material out of the airless spray device 110, and (ii) a spray outlet 120 that is configured to spray the fluid material out of the airless spray device 110. The body portion 115 further includes (i) a handle 130 that is configured to allow for a user to hold the airless spray device 110, and (ii) a connector 140 that is configured to connect to a pressurized spray fluid source 145 that comprises the fluid material (e.g., a coating and/or adhesive). The airless spray device 110 can also include a spray regulator 125 that is configured to regulate the flow rate and/or pressure of the pressurized spray fluid source 145.

As further shown in FIG. 1, the spray application system 100 includes a receptable 150 that is attached to the airless spray device 110 and is configured to supply one or more components to the fluid material. According to the embodiment of FIG. 1, the receptable 150 includes a container 152 configured to hold the one or more components (e.g., an additive and/or catalyst capable of triggering curing of the fluid material) that is to be supplied to the fluid material. The container 152 includes a removable top cover 154 that can be removed to supply the one or more components to the container 152 of the receptable 150. The container 152 decreases in diameter at a bottom end thereof to a funnel shaped member 155 through which the one or more components are supplied to the fluid material contained within the body portion 115 of the airless spray device 110. The receptacle 150 is attached to the body portion 115 of the airless spray device 110 at the funnel shaped member 155 via a coupling member 160. According to one embodiment, the attachment of the receptacle 150 to the airless spray device 110 at the funnel shaped member 155, which has a reduced diameter as compared to, e.g., the container 152 of the receptable 150, generates a vacuum and enhances mixing of the one or more components with the fluid material when supplying the one or more components to the fluid material via the receptacle 150. For example, according to one embodiment, the receptacle 150 is attached to the airless spray device 110 (e.g., spray gun) at a region of the coupling member 160 between the receptacle 150 and the airless spray device 110 having a negative pressure produced by a reduced diameter and/or a high speed liquid flow which will generate a vacuum and suck the one or more components into the fluid material to thereby mix the one or more components with the fluid material when supplying the one or more components to the fluid material via the receptacle 150.

According to an embodiment, the airless spray device 110 includes a handle 130 having a connector 140 that is configured to connect to a pressurized spray fluid source (see, e.g., pressurized spray fluid source 145 of FIG. 1) in order to supply the fluid material to the airless spray device 110. As discussed above, the receptacle 150 includes a container 152 configured to hold the one or more components (e.g., an additive and/or catalyst capable of triggering curing of the fluid material), as well as a funnel shaped member 155 that is attached to a body portion 115 of the airless spray device 110 via a coupling member 160, in order to supply the one or more components to the fluid material via the receptacle 150. According to an embodiment, the user can spray the fluid material and the one or more components onto the surface using the airless spray device 110 of the spray application system 100 by pulling the trigger 116 of the airless spray device 110. Once the trigger 116 of the airless spray device 110 is pulled, the fluid material is supplied via the pressurized spray fluid source (see, e.g., pressurized spray fluid source 145 of FIG. 1) through the handle 130 and into the body portion 115 of the airless spray device 110 and out of the spray outlet 120 of the airless spray device 110. In addition, as the fluid material is supplied via the pressurized spray fluid source (see, e.g., pressurized spray fluid source 145 of FIG. 1) through the handle 130 and into the body portion 115 of the airless spray device 110, the one or more components are supplied to the fluid material via the receptable 150.

A method comprising: obtaining a spray application system that is configured to apply a fluid material to a surface, the spray application system comprising: (i) an airless spray device that is configured to receive the fluid material and to spray the fluid material onto the surface, and(ii) a receptacle that is attached to the airless spray device and is configured to supply one or more components to the fluid material,wherein the spray application system is hand-held and portable;supplying the fluid material to the airless spray device;supplying the one or more components to the fluid material via the receptacle; andspraying the fluid material and the one or more components onto the surface using the airless spray device of the spray application system, wherein the one or more components are capable of triggering curing of the fluid material,wherein the surface is a roofing surface, a wall surface, a ceiling surface, a floor surface, a below grade surface, a building surface, a container surface, a vehicle surface, or a combination thereof.

18. The method according to claim 17, wherein the supplying of the one or more components to the fluid material via the receptacle is conducted through gravity or vacuum feed from the receptacle to the airless spray device.

19. The method according to claim 17, wherein the one or more components comprise (i) water, (ii) an additive, (iii) a catalyst, (iv) a solvent, or (v) a combination of (i), (ii), (iii), and/or (iv).

20. The method according to claim 17, wherein the spraying of the fluid material and the one or more components onto the surface is conducted in at least one of (i) a low moisture environment, or (ii) a closed system with no access to moisture.
