Abstract

A striping apparatus for marking athletic fields and other surfaces comprises a wheeled platform adapted to be propelled by a prime mover and having thereon a tank for containing fluid, a nozzle assembly for spraying the marking fluid on a surface, and a pumping assembly for delivering the marking fluid under selectively variable pressures to the nozzle assembly. The nozzle assembly is adjustably positioned angularly and in elevation relative to the surface to be sprayed, and the pumping assembly is remotely controlled by a switch located on the prime mover. To mark designs, logos, numerals, and the like, an auxiliary hand-held, manually operated hose and nozzle are provided to allow the operator to mark the required figure.
