Abstract:
The shroud and skeletal body assembly for a trigger sprayer comprises: a skeletal body including a lower portion, an upright body portion extending upwardly from the lower portion and having a forwardly extending piston receiving portion, a waterway defining portion above the piston receiving portion and extending forwardly of the upright body portion, and hook structure extending rearwardly from the upright body portion; and a shroud having a top wall, spaced apart side walls, a back wall, and a short rear bottom wall extending forwardly from the back wall, and latch structure extending between the side walls at a position to be engaged by the hook structure when the shroud is brought into engagement with the skeletal body.
Abstract:
A trigger pump sprayer has an external cover plate mounted on and parallel to an end wall of the pump body containing the discharge orifice for transverse sliding movement between an orifice covered position at which a first portion of the cover plate overlies the orifice and an orifice uncovered position at which a second portion of the cover having a through opening lies coaxial with the orifice. Guide tracks on said end wall supporting said plate for sliding movement are sloped toward the end wall for camming an inner surface of the first portion of the plate toward the confronting outer surface of the end wall for fluid tightly sealing the orifice closed against leakage in the covered position.
Abstract:
This unit ensures the dispensing of a liquid in the form of droplets in a virtually continuous manner and a comprises a reservoir (2) containing the liquid to be sprayed, this reservoir communicating with a feeder duct (3) of a precompression pump (4) provided with a delivery duct (5) communication with a spraying nozzle (8). There is a manually-activated pushbutton (7) for actuating the pump and spraying this liquid, this pump comprising a cylindrical body (6) joined to the feeder duct (3), and a piston (10) capable of sliding in a portion with a diameter of the body (6) under the actuation of the pushbutton (7) against a spring (11) along a stroke C. A one-way valve prevents the return of the liquid. A flexible closure (12, 13) releases a dispensing duct (14) in the pump when the pressure obtaining in the body following the actuation of the pushbutton (7) exceeds a specified value.
Abstract:
A low cost trigger sprayer has a housing with a first liquid passage containing a spinner assembly. An elastomeric pump element is positioned generally horizontally such that pulling the trigger retracts the element and releasing the trigger allows the element to extend. The sprayer includes a low cost spinner assembly and low cost valving to control the flow of liquid within the sprayer. In one aspect of the invention, the housing has front and rear sections with the rear section having a saddle portion and being hinged to the front section for pivotal movement from an open position for molding the housing to a closed position for operating the sprayer. In another aspect of the invention, the container has a rear portion which extends upwardly past the neck and defining a saddle recess, with the housing connected to the neck of the container and positioned forwardly of the upwardly extending container portion. The sprayer may include an elastomeric spring for biasing the pump element in the extended position.
Abstract:
The trigger sprayer comprises: a body having a cylinder therein; a liquid inlet in communication with the cylinder; an outlet waterway in communication with the cylinder; an outlet nozzle which has an outlet orifice and which is movable to and from a position in communication with the waterway; a piston having an inner and an outer end and being received in said cylinder and being movable between an outer at rest position and an inner pumping stroke position during the pumping strokes of the piston in the cylinder; a trigger operatively coupled to the body and acting on the outer end of the piston; a precompression valve in the cylinder, the valve being operable to allow liquid in the cylinder to enter the waterway only after a predetermined pressure is established in the cylinder and to stop liquid from entering the waterway when the pressure in the cylinder falls below the predetermined pressure; and, biasing structure for biasing the piston away from the valve.
Abstract:
A precompression pump sprayer has a stationary discharge and a reciprocable pump cylinder which squeezes the air out of the pump chamber to facilitate priming as the cylinder is plunged relative to a piston shifted by the plunger to open the discharge during priming. Once primed the piston is shifted to open the discharge upon a build up of pressure during plunger reciprocation. A container vent is controlled by operation of the plunger.
Abstract:
A precompression pump sprayer having a stationary discharge is of compact construction while having separate springs for the plunger and valve member as well as pump priming and container venting features.
Abstract:
A dispenser assembly for dispensing liquid from a container has a dispenser operable remotely from the container by way of a tube communicating the dispenser and the liquid within the container. The dispenser assembly has a hand-held dispenser and a tube connected to the dispenser for extension into the liquid within the container. The dispenser is operable to dispense liquid from the container by way of the tube. An adaptor is secured to the container with the tube operable for extending from the dispenser, through the adaptor, and into the container. With the dispenser disconnected from the adaptor and with the adaptor secured to the container, the dispenser may be operated remotely from the container to dispense the liquid from the container.
Abstract:
A fluid-dispensing device which selectively draws fluid out from at least two containers or fluid chambers, mixes the fluids in a desired concentration or ratio and expels the mixture of fluids out a nozzle. The dispensing device may be equipped with a mechanism for variably controlling the ratio of the fluids being mixed. The containers may be bottles connectable to the fluid-dispensing device and selectively detachable for refilling with fluid or exchanging one of the containers with another container having an alternate fluid. The bottles include mating elements to permit interconnection of the bottles as well as venting and spill prevention mechanisms.
Abstract:
The trigger operated pumping mechanism for a fluid dispensing device comprises a body and the pumping mechanism comprises a cylinder in the body of the dispensing device, a piston received in the cylinder and having a piston rod extending outwardly therefrom to an outer end and a trigger movably mounted to the body and having a front side and a back side. A first coupling structure is provided on the outer end of the piston rod for coupling to the trigger. A second coupling structure is provided on the back side of the trigger for releasably coupling to the first coupling structure on the piston rod in a snap-fitting manner and a spring is provided outside of the cylinder for biasing the trigger away from the body.
