Abstract: “AN IMPROVED ROTARY-RECIPROCRATING FIELD SPRAYER” The present invention relates to the field of agricultural machinery industries, and more specifically pertains to an improved rotary-reciprocating field sprayer for agrarian use, eliminating the need for external power sources. The sprayer comprises a base frame (1) supported by a front wheel (6.1) and two rear wheels (6.2). It utilizes a mechanical transmission mechanism where the rotary motion of the front wheel (6.1) is transferred via a driver chain sprocket (2) and a driven chain sprocket (3) to a slotted crank (4) and connecting rod (5) assembly. This assembly converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion to drive an internal piston attached to the tank (8), generating high pressure for liquid dispersal through adjustable nozzles (12). The sprayer features bidirectional operation, adjustable spray heights, and variable nozzle spacing, providing a cost-effective and ergonomic solution for small-scale farming. (Figure 1.1)
