Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015139757A1] A water application device (10, 100) may include a main body (20, 110) graspable along a handle portion (22, 119) thereof by an operator, an operable member (30, 140), and a flow channel. The main body (20, 110) may house a flow control assembly (50) configured to enable the device to execute a control function relative to flow of water through the device. The operable member (30, 140) may be operably coupled to the main body to interface with the flow control assembly (50) to alternately provide flow and stop flow through the device. The flow channel may be formed inside the main body to define a flow path between an inlet portion (26, 114) and an outlet portion (24, 112) of the device. The flow channel may define a plurality of critical areas in which water is enabled to collect when the water application device is not applying water. At least a first compensator (302) may be provided in a first critical area and at least a second compensator (302, 304, 308) may be provided in a second critical area. The first and second compensators (302, 304, 306, 308) may include compressible material configured to enable the first and second compensators to be compressed within the first and second critical areas, respectively, to increase an effective volume of the first critical area and the second critical area.
