    Abstract: A sprayer device with a trigger operated pump is operative for pumping and spraying liquid from an attached liquid container. The trigger sprayer includes valve body provided with a base portion that is configured to be mounted to the neck of the liquid container and a delivery nozzle from which the liquid is sprayed. A fluid flow path extends from the base portion to the delivery nozzle. A pumping chamber is in fluid communication with the flow passage and there is a vent opening between the pumping chamber and the interior of said base. A piston with spaced inboard and outboard seals is movable in the pumping chamber and the vent opening is located between the seals. A check valve is disposed between the vent opening and the interior of the base portion to prevent liquid from the container from backflowing into the pumping chamber during shipment and handling.

    Abstract: An all plastic compression spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element formed from a tensile polymer material and upper and lower loading cones received at opposing upper and lower ends of the slotted tubular spring element. The upper loading cone may be axially compressible towards the lower loading cone within the slotted tubular spring element whereby the slotted tubular spring element radially expands in tension to create an opposing radial contraction force, and in turn, an axial extension spring force. When released, the spring element elastically returns to its normal at rest shape, returning the cones to their normal at rest positions. In some dispenser configurations, the lower loading cone may be stationary or fixed within the dispensing head and the upper loading cone may be downwardly compressible toward the lower loading cone by movement of a nozzle head.

    Abstract: A dispensing pump includes a spring assembly and a locking arrangement to prevent the dispensing head from being deployed and/or actuated during shipment, stocking and pre-purchase handling. The dispensing pump includes a pump base, and a dispensing head having a piston stem. The spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element and first and second loading cones received at opposing ends of the slotted tubular spring element. Various locking arrangements may include interacting rotatable lugs provided between the dispensing head and the pump base, snap beads to retain the piston and dispensing head in a secured shipping position, and recyclable locking rings disposed between the dispensing head and pump base which prevent an active dispensing head from being actuated.
