SPRAY BOOM

A multi-jointed spray boom (1200), comprising: a center boom frame (1204) configured to be operably coupled to a vehicular main frame; a controller; a multi-jointed spray boom assembly pivotally coupled to the center boom frame (1204), the spray boom assembly comprising at least a first boom frame (1206) pivotally coupled to the center boom frame (1204) at a first pivot location; a first articulating actuator coupled between the center boom frame (1204) and the first boom frame (1206), the first articulating actuator being movable between a retracted position and an extended position to pivotally move the first boom frame (1206) about the first pivot location; a first spray section coupled to the first boom frame (1206), the first spray section including a first spray pipe, a first actuator, a second actuator, and a first nozzle coupled to the first spray pipe, where the first nozzle is configured to be fluidly coupled to a fluid source for spraying a fluid; wherein, the first actuator is coupled between a first end of the first boom frame (1206) and a first end of the first spray section; wherein, the second actuator is coupled between a second end of the first boom frame (1206) and a second end of the first spray section; further wherein, the controller operably controls movement of the first articulating actuator, the first actuator and the second actuator such that a movement of the first articulating actuator pivots the first boom frame (1206) about the first pivot location relative to the center boom frame (1204), a movement of the first actuator controllably extends and retracts the first end of the first spray pipe between a raised position and a lowered position, and a movement of the second actuator controllably extends and retracts the second end of the first spray pipe between a raised position and a lowered position.
