Attorney, Agent or Firm: Ware, Fressola, Van Der Sluys & Adolphson
A symmetrically balanced unitary portable self-contained tool, suitable for single-hand operation, for ejecting a stream of granular particles toward a target sit combines a supply hopper containing the granular particles, a portable propellant container carrying compressed propellant liquid, a propellant release valve delivering propellant from the container via a constricted Venturi orifice to a mixing chamber positioned above the uppermost level of particles in the hopper, a delivery conduit connecting the lower portion of the supply hopper to the mixing chamber, and a nozzle connected to deliver a stream of granular particles aspirated from the supply hopper through the mixing chamber by the negative pressure differential created at the Venturi orifice. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A unitary, portable, self-powered tool for ejecting a stream of granular particulate materials toward a target site comprising: a portable propellant container, enclosing compressed propellant liquid, with a sealable top opening, a hollow hopper, with a storage chamber accommodating a supply of granular particles, connected to and supported by the container, a sealing nozzle cap connected to the container and sealing its top opening, means forming a vent connecting ambient atmosphere to the inside of the hopper chamber, a pressure valve between the container and the nozzle cap for releasing the propellant as compressed gas, a trigger extending outward from the nozzle cap connected to actuate the pressure valve, a nozzle protruding from the nozzle cap, means forming a mixing chamber in the nozzle cap positioned above the uppermost level of the supply of granular particles in the hopper and connecting the pressure valve to the nozzle, a delivery conduit connecting a lower end of the hopper chamber to the mixing chamber, and means forming a reduced diameter orifice in the nozzle cap between the pressure valve and the mixing chamber, positioned to produce enhanced negative pressure promoting aspiration of particles from the hopper chamber through the delivery conduit to the mixing chamber, all of said components being combined for use in a symmetrically balanced unitary portable assembly which can be seized, carried, aimed and operated by the user in only one hand to eject the granular particles.
2.
The ejector tool defined in claim 1 wherein the hopper and the delivery conduit are external and closely adjacent to the propellant container.
3.
The ejector tool defined in claim 2, further incorporating an adjustable flow control valve interposed in the delivery conduit adjacent to the mixing chamber.
4.
The ejector tool defined in claim 1 wherein the vent is closely adjacent to the nozzle cap.
5.
The ejector tool defined in claim 1 wherein the vent is provided with a filter screen preventing contaminants from entering the hopper chamber through the vent
