Abstract:
The disclosure concerns a reinforced plastic bottle or vessel with a relatively large neck with buttressed threads and bevelled rim on its neck onto which threads is screwed a cap assembly. This cap assembly comprises a plastic cap base member having a pair of parallel ribs forming a channel between an integral handle and a nozzle connection, a plastic manual air pump, a plastic siphon, a valve and spray nozzle assembly, and a lever disposed in said channel to operate the valve. The air pump is supported by an integral flange and depends vertically from the cap base member into the bottle with a disc-type checkvalve at its bottom. This air pump is attached to the cap base by a piston-guiding cap having a pair of diametrically opposite resilient hooks that snap into slots in parallel walls of said channel in the cap base member on each side of the piston-guiding cap. Also depending from the cap base member is a plastic siphon tube with a plastic screen at its lower end, and the upper end of this siphon tube is connected to a fluid duct in the nozzle connection. An L-shape first class lever extends from the handle in said channel to a point above the nozzle connection and has a depending forked arm for operating a tubular valve slidably mounted in the nozzle connection through which tubular valve the spraying fluid is conducted.
Abstract:
Apparatus, particularly electrostatic spraying apparatus, comprising a container and an enabling device wherein the container has a discharge valve that is held in the closed position by sprung member(s) that can be urged out of engagement, so as to permit valve actuation, upon connection of the enabling device to the container.
Abstract:
A trigger-type sprayer according to the present invention sucks up, pressurizes and sprays a liquid contained in a container having a mouth portion. The sprayer is provided with a housing attached to the mouth portion of the container, a trigger rockably attached to one end portion of the housing, a nozzle formed on the trigger and having an orifice, a cylinder supported at the middle portion on the housing and capable of facing the orifice, a suction tube attached to the other end portion of the cylinder and connecting the interior of the cylinder and that of the container, a piston one end of which is connected to the nozzle and the other end of which is located in the cylinder, the piston slidably touching the inner surface of the cylinder, a primary valve for selectively connecting the suction tube and the cylinder, and a secondary valve for selectively connecting the cylinder and the piston. The housing, trigger, nozzle, cylinder and suction tube are integrally formed.
Abstract:
A compact aerosol generator which produces, with a fresh air propellant, microscopically small liquid particles known as a dry aerosol particularly adapted for inhalation therapy has a cylindrical housing with a liquid container and a casing containing a baffling system. An air chamber and a manually operated liquid spray pump are defined by telescoping tubes in the housing. Liquid spray ejected from a nozzle at the outlet of the pump enters a jet tube which forms a venturi with a baffle adjacent the nozzle. Passages having their axes perpendicular to the axis of the nozzle provide communication between the air chamber and the jet tube in the vicinity of the outlet of the nozzle. When the telescoping tubes of the pump and air chamber enter each other, pressurized liquid spray and injected air, which is pressurized in this air chamber, flow and combine to efficiently form a spray which is atomized in the baffling system to provide the dry aerosol at the output of the generator. The telescoping tubes are also used for draining the liquid from the generator case to the liquid container. If the device is closed with its cover, the telescoping tubes cover automatically the liquid and air openings of the liquid container to avoid leakage.
Abstract:
A manually operated dispensing device for a container holding a quantity of liquid is disclosed. The device has an internal chamber and a flexible, elastomeric diaphragm-like cover on at least one side of the chamber in a component retaining body. Associated inlet and outlet valves, which valves may be discrete or integral with the diaphragm and body, and conduits are included whereby liquid from a supply thereof in the container is drawn up into the chamber when the diaphragm is flexed under stress. The diaphragm is operatively associated with a trigger device, the actuation of which flexes and stresses the diaphragm in a direction to decrease the chamber volume. Liquid which is present in the chamber is displaced and pressurized in a pumping action, forcing the outlet or discharge valve to open and the inlet valve to close allowing the liquid to flow into the outlet or discharge conduit and be dispensed from the device. Alternate application and relief of the above described flexing or stressing action of the diaphragm by alternate actuation and release of the trigger causes the inlet and outlet valves to alternately open and close, and liquid to be drawn into the chamber and be dispensed therefrom.
Abstract:
An accumulative pressure pump that has upper and lower pressure chambers of different diameters, each of which is provided with a piston having a connected stem. Inlet and outlet check valves are provided. The outlet valve opens on accumulation of pressure on the downward stroke of the two pistons. The lower portion of the inner sidewall of the lower chamber is provided with a rib or a recess to permit any air trapped in the two chambers to be expelled through a bottom opening that is provided in the lower chamber. The dip tube is connected directly to the second piston and has its end abutting or adjacent the bottom of the container and is reciprocal with the second piston whereby its lower end moves into the lowermost portion of the container to permit substantial removal of the entire contents of the container.
Abstract:
A miniature type, invertible atomizing spray mechanism includes a receptacle for liquid to be atomized, and further includes at least one pressure chamber, which depends within the receptacle and is arranged to have received therein a piston with which a reciprocable spray head is arranged to cooperate. Beneath the pressure chamber is disposed a valve member which is adapted to control the suction of the liquid into the pressure chamber. The valve member opens an inlet of the pressure chamber by the reciprocal movement of the spray head. The inlet of the pressure chamber is in fluid communication with a passage leading to a three-way valve. The three-way valve includes upper and lower valving assembly which communicate with a passage extending to the cylinder of the atomizer, each of the valving assembly being in communication with the bottom of the receptacle as well as an area adjacent to the neck portion of the atomizer through elongated tubular elements.
Abstract:
A pump which will atomize a liquid without dribble is formed of a pump body having a pump chamber with a throat at the bottom thereof; a pump stem and piston assembly disposed in the chamber for reciprocal motion therein, an axial bore being formed through the bottom of said piston and stem terminating in an axial outlet port; a valve member having a top section sealing against said axial port and a bottom section passing through and sealing said throat after the initial operation when said pump is operated; and a spring biasing said valve member upward. The sealing area at the axial port is selected so as to be less than the sealing area at the throat at the bottom of the chamber whereby when a predetermined pressure is reached within the pump chamber the net force exerted on the valve member acts against the spring to open the axial port to the stem causing material to be dispensed at the predetermined pressure without dribbling.
