Abstract:
Proposed is an apparatus for applying a powdery or liquid substance comprising a delivery device (12) including a delivery pressurant connector (16) and a substantially tubular applicator with an upstream portion for connecting the delivery pressurant connector (16) and a downstream delivery orifice (24) for delivering the powdery or liquid substance. In accordance with the invention the applicator (20) is provided with at least one reservoir (54) for the powdery or liquid substance and at least one valve permitting, when opened, delivery of the powdery or liquid substance by means of the pressurant via the delivery orifice (24).
Abstract:
A novel metering device (1) for dispensing a dose of a pressurized fluid is described. A dispensing valve body (3) is mounted in a fluid-tight manner to the lid (4) of a pressurized container (5), which circumvents a valve element (9). A valve delivery tube (10) is connected to the valve element (9). A chamber (13) surrounds the valve body (3), in which a piston (17) is reciprocable between an upper and a lower position, which define the dispensing dose. A clearance is provided between the piston (17) and the inner wall (23) of the chamber (13), such that pressurized fluid can flow into the chamber based on a pressure difference between the container (5) and the chamber (13), and the piston (17) is adapted to seal the valve body (3) when being in the upper position.
Abstract:
A chain lubrication application tool is provided, the tool having an L-shaped body and a swivel fitting attached to the body. The L-shaped body has a top member and a side member, the top member and side member forming the L-shaped body. The swivel fitting is attached to the top member of the L-shaped body and has an inlet operable to accept lubrication from a lubricant dispensing container and an outlet to supply the lubrication to a drive chain that can be located below the top member of the L-shaped body.
Abstract:
A plastic dispensing actuator for a pressurized container used to dispense product has a dispensing nozzle that is mounted on the tilt valve of the container and a lever attached to the dispensing nozzle. The lever is attached by a living hinge to the wall of the nozzle. The lever is in the normal vertically aligned state for storage and shipment. It is rotated about the hinge to a horizontal dispensing state whereby actuation of the lever by depressing it causes the nozzle and the valve to tilt thereby dispensing product.
Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus for dispensing a product from a container is disclosed. The dispenser includes a product chamber within the container; a valve adjacent to the product chamber; a hinge assembly secured to the opening of the container and to which is connected a nozzle assembly; and a lever attached by means of the hinge assembly. The nozzle assembly includes an actuator portion provided with a lever bearing surface which co-operates with a bearing portion on the lever such that operation of the lever causes movement of the actuator portion to open the valve and permit flow of the product out of the container. The nozzle assembly includes at least one dog tooth and the hinge assembly includes at least one slot, such that the valve can open only when the dog tooth is aligned with the slot.
Abstract:
A chain drive lubrication system includes a pressurized can of lubricant having a top-mounted spray nozzle and a can support structure supporting the pressurized can of lubricant generally adjacent a chain drive with the top-mounted spray nozzle aiming the chain drive. A can securement device such as a set screw is mounted on the can support holder to releasably secure the pressurized can of lubricant in the can support structure. A trigger device is mounted on the can support structure extending above the top-mounted spray nozzle, the can support structure being generally free of spray nozzle engagement structures excepting the trigger device. Finally, the trigger device is operative to alternatively depress and release the top-mounted spray nozzle thereby spraying lubricant from the pressurized can of lubricant onto the adjacent chain drive.
Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus (10) for dispensing a product from a container (12) includes: a product chamber within the container (12); a valve (14) adjacent to the product chamber; a hinge assembly secured to the opening of the container and to which is connected a nozzle assembly (20); and a lever (18) attached by means of the hinge assembly. The nozzle assembly (20) is rotatable between open and closed positions and includes an actuator portion provided with a cam surface (96, 98) which co-operates with a bearing portion (100) on the lever (18) such that, when the nozzle assembly (20) is in the open position, operation of the lever (18) causes movement of the actuator portion to open the valve (14) and permit flow of the product out of the container (12).
Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus for dispensing a product from a container under pressure of a propellant by means of a composite piston. The apparatus has a valve operated by means of an actuator and a lever. The actuator co-operates with the valve and lever by means of a screw thread arrangement, such that turning actuator relative to the lever varies the flow rate of product out of the apparatus. The valve is a hollow cylindrical tube which is open at one end and closed at the second end, either permanently or by means of a flap valve which allows insertion of the product. A number of ports are arranged around the circumference of the tube adjacent to the second end to allow product to flow through the valve when the lever is operated. The composite piston comprises a first piston coupled to a second piston by mutually engageable central stems and enclosing between the pistons a viscous substance which contacts the inside wall of the container to provide an effective seal. The piston arrangement of the apparatus stays together without the need for “necking in” the can and the apparatus can be filled with product by the manufacturer.
Abstract:
A dispenser unit comprises a housing and an actuator movable relative to the housing to cause the contents of two containers to be dispensed simultaneously in mixed or separate state. Each container includes a hollow stem through which the substance is dispensed when the stem is depressed. The dispenser unit includes a fluid-conducting member distinct from the actuator and including two hoods for engaging the two stems of the containers. Depressing the actuator causes the fluid-conducting member to actuate the stems and initiate dispensing of the contents into a single passage or two separate passages of the fluid-conducting member. The fluid-conducting member is movable within the housing for accommodating mismatch in heights of the stems. The actuator includes a single internal channel or two separate channels for receiving the container contents from the fluid-conducting member.
