A liquid sprayer to assist in disposal of animal excrement and characterized so that the sprayer may be carried as a walking cane, the liquid sprayer consisting primarily of two axially aligned, concentric chambers, one acting as a pressurized water reservoir communicated by a spring-biased ball valve with the other chamber which is an air chamber, the pressurized water reservoir fitting into the other chamber and acting as an air pump which pumps air through the ball valve into the water reservoir when the air chamber is compressed. The top chamber which is the water reservoir has a handle attached to its top which is attached to an airtight brass end plug retaining the water and air of the water reservoir under pressure until the handle release lever and discharge valve are actuated for releasing water under pressure driven by the air through a nozzle, the nozzle directing the water upon animal excrement, the liquid sprayer performing an appropriate method of removing, cleaning up and rendering animal defecation unobjectionable and diffused.

A liquid spray device embodied in a walking cane, the cane having an elongate body comprising telescopically mounted spring biased upper and lower sections, the lower section defining a ground engageable lower end of the cane and the upper section defining an upper end of the cane provided with a handle, one of said sections having an internal liquid reservoir and the other of said sections defining internal pumping means for pressurizing liquid in the reservoir, the pumping means being operable by reciprocatory telescopic movement of the sections effected by applying downward pressure on the handle with said ground engageable end of the cane in ground engagement, the device further including downwardly directed nozzle means communicating with the reservoir for receiving liquid under pressure from the reservoir and for releasing the liquid downwardly in the form of a liquid spray to disperse animal droppings and the like, a one-way inlet check valve for admitting air from the pump means to the reservoir, an outlet valve in liquid flow communication between the reservoir and the nozzle means, and manual control means for opening and closing said outlet valve, the arrangment being such that the pump means may be used to build up and store pressure in the reservoir and the outlet valve may be operated to release liquid from the nozzle subsequent to operation of the pump means, wherein the pump means includes a pump chamber formed internally in said lower section of the cane, said chamber incorporating biasing means urging said sections apart, wherein said upper section of the cane defines the liquid reservoir and includes a closure plate at its lower end mounting said inlet valve, a liquid tube having an inlet adjacent said plate, the tube extending upwardly through the reservoir and communicating with said outlet valve, and wherein the outlet valve is located adjacent the handle and the device includes a liquid release tube extending downwardly from the outlet valve adjacent the upper section of the cane, said nozzle being mounted at the lower end of the liquid release tube.
