A liquid dispenser, having a large ring, a connecting cover, and a hollow pump frame, the pump frame is movably clamped to the interior of the large ring, the top of the pump frame extends to the outer side of the top of the large circle, a bottom protruding portion of the connecting cover extends into a top groove of the pump frame so as to be movably clamped thereto, a first air outlet is provided on both sides of the bottom of the connecting cover, and a second air outlet in communication with the first air outlet is provided to penetrate through the pump frame. The first air outlet, the second air outlet, the first liquid outlet, and the second liquid outlet can be opened and closed by rotating the connecting cover to change a position relationship between the connecting cover and the pump frame.

Aerosol spray can
11261021 · 2022-03-01 · ·

An aerosol spray can has a can body, a valve assembly, a dip-tube assembly and a rigid tube. The valve assembly is mounted on the can body. The dip-tube assembly is connected to the valve assembly and has a head end channel-linked to the valve assembly. The dip-tube assembly has a flexible tube and a weight piece. The two ends of the flexible tube are connected to the valve assembly and the weight piece respectively. The rigid tube is sleeved around the flexible tube to constrain excessive bending of the flexible tube. The flexible tube protrudes from the rigid tube. The weight of the weight piece drives the tail end freely toward the ground. Therefore, the tail end stays submerged under a liquid product when less than a half of the liquid product is left inside the can body even when the can body is tilted or horizontal.

Fluid dispensing apparatus and method

A fluid dispenser including a body, a chamber coupled to or formed as part of the body and configured to contain a quantity of fluid, and a piston coupled to the body and rotatable within the chamber to different position. The piston is movable relative to the chamber in a first direction along an axis to draw fluid into the chamber, and the piston is movable relative to the chamber in a second direction opposite the first direction to discharge fluid from the chamber. The piston has stroke lengths that are selectable via the different rotational positions of the piston and that are associated with metered quantities of fluid to be drawn into the chamber. An anti-reversal feature is disposed between the piston and the body. The anti-reversal feature inhibits reversal of the piston during movement of the piston in the first direction or the second direction.
