Abstract

A misting system having an external compartment, an interior housing, a container housing, an electrical compartment, a lid assembly, and at least one outlet. The external compartment has a top face with a hole, a cavity, and an electrical cover panel. The interior housing has a top face with a hole, and lateral faces with a respective pivot hole. The container housing has lateral faces having pivoting protrusions, which are positioned onto each pivot hole of the interior housing lateral faces. The electrical compartment has a cover panel, a battery and a pump assembly. The lid assembly has a locking tab, a panel locking tab, a latching-limiter rod, and a spear. The electrical cover panel of the external compartment mounts onto the electrical compartment, and the cover panel of the electrical compartment mounts onto the external compartment. The lid assembly covers the external compartment and the electrical compartment.

Claims

1. A misting system, comprising:

A) an external compartment, said external compartment houses a premixed, self contained chemical;

B) an interior housing comprising a first top face with a hole, first and second laterals faces, a first bottom face, and first interior faces, said first and second lateral faces each comprise a pivot hole and at least one lateral protrusion;

C) a container housing comprising an access panel, third and fourth lateral faces, second interior faces, and a second bottom face, said third and fourth lateral faces each comprise a pivoting protrusion which are positioned onto each said pivot hole;

D) an electrical compartment;

E) a lid assembly comprising a lid, a locking tab, and a panel locking tab, said lid assembly covers said external compartment and said electrical compartment, whereby said panel locking tab blocks access to said access panel and prevents it from opening at a closed configuration; and

F) at least one outlet configured to spray the premixed, self contained chemical.

2. The misting system set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said external compartment comprises a second top face, a first internal lateral face, a first external lateral face, a third bottom face, an interior face to define a cavity, and an electrical cover panel.

3. The misting system set forth in claim 2, further characterized in that said second top face comprises a hole.

4. The misting system set forth in claim 2, further characterized in that said first internal lateral face comprises a first and a second exterior rails.

5. The misting system set forth in claim 4, further characterized in that said external compartment comprises an upper bridge plate and a lower bridge plate that are each connected to said respective first and second exterior rails.

6. The misting system set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that a chemical container is placed inside said container housing.

7. The misting system set forth in claim 6, further characterized in that said chemical container comprises a cap, and a foil.

8. The misting system set forth in claim 2, further characterized in that said electrical compartment comprises an upper external face, a second external lateral face, a second internal lateral face, a fourth bottom face, and a cover panel.

9. The misting system set forth in claim 8, further characterized in that said electrical compartment comprises a battery, a pump assembly, and a controller.

10. The misting system set forth in claim 9, further characterized in that said second internal lateral face comprises a pump mount hole to secure said pump assembly.

11. The misting system set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said electrical compartment comprises a switch, an external charge receptor, and a connector.

12. The misting system set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said lid assembly comprises a latching-limiter rod, and a spear.

13. The misting system set forth in claim 2, further characterized in that a chemical container is positioned in said container housing, said container housing is positioned in said interior housing, said interior housing is positioned in said cavity of said external compartment.

14. The misting system set forth in claim 8, further characterized in that said electrical cover panel of said external compartment mounts onto said electrical compartment, and said cover panel of said electrical compartment mounts onto said external compartment.

15. The misting system set forth in claim 1, further characterized in that said lid assembly covers said external compartment and said electrical compartment.
