Abstract
Equipment for delivering a fluid, such as herbicide, comprises a carrier (2) in the form of a handset and a support tube (4) which is connected to the carrier (3) and carries a distribution head. A supply duct (6) conveys herbicide from the carrier to the distribution head, and electrical leads (8) provide a connection between a battery, mounted in the carrier, and a motor in the distribution head. The support tube (4) has a connector (10) which is secured to the carrier by a screwthreaded sleeve. A spigot (18) of the connector 10 enters a bore in a valve to provide sealed connection between the valve and the supply duct (6). First contacts (28) on the connector (10) engage second contacts (42) in the carrier to provide electrical connections. The support tube (4) can thus be coupled to the carrier (2) by a simple plug in operation.
