Abstract
A mobile, modular apparatus for power spraying comprises a first adapter attached to a motor and a second adapter attached to a pump. Both adapters are received and positioned on a wheeled frame with the driving sheave of the motor in operational alignment with the driven sheave of the pump. A recess in the pump adaptor receives a locking bar on the frame to partially lock the pump adaptor in place; the positioning of the motor adaptor on the frame completes the locking of the pump adaptor in place. Before the motor adaptor is locked into position, one or more drive belts are installed on the driving and driven sheaves by rotating the motor about the pump adaptor far enough to where the belts will fit loosely onto the sheaves. The belts are made operationally tight when the motor is rotated back into position on the frame. The motor adaptor is locked into place with a swing lock. The sheaves are covered by a housing that is latched into place. The modular construction makes the apparatus easier to lift, transport, and customize for different uses.
