TRIGGER SPRAYER
To provide a trigger sprayer that can maintain uniformity of a chemical solution containing fine powder and is superior in flow efficiency. The trigger sprayer of the present invention is designed such that a piston part 5 is moved by a pivotal movement of a trigger part, while being attached to a container, so as to apply a pressure to a liquid inside a cylinder part 42A of a cylinder structural part 4 so that the liquid in the container is jetted from a nozzle part 3 through a passage P.
An F valve 2 attached to a bottom part of the cylinder part 42A serving a passage between the cylinder part 42A and the container and an S valve 1 installed in a passage part P between the cylinder part 42A and the nozzle part 3 are installed, and the F valve 2 is constituted by a cylinder-shaped base part 22 and a second valve body 21 having a sealing function as well as a small spring 22A coupling the cylinder-shaped base part 22 and the second valve body 21 to each other, and the second valve body 21 is further provided with a lower face part and a tilt part 21A on an opposite side, and the lower face part is fitted into the bottom part of the cylinder part 42A to be fixed therein, with the second valve body 21 being resiliently made in contact with a second valve mount 42A1 formed on the bottom part of the cylinder part 42A, and by pushing the tilt part 21A of the second valve body 21 by the bottom part of the piston part 5, the second valve body 21 is tilted so that one portion thereof is separated from the second valve mount 42A1, thereby opening the valve.
Dispensing apparatus and method
The present disclosure relates to a dispenser for dispensing a liquid (LQ). The dispenser has a housing for receiving a removable container containing the liquid (LQ) and dispenses the liquid (LQ) from the container. The dispenser includes a capacitive sensor having a sensing element for positioning proximal to an exterior of the container. A processor is provided for receiving a capacitance signal (SIG1) from the capacitive sensor. The processor is configured to estimate a quantity of liquid (LQ) in the container in dependence on the capacitance signal (SIG1). The present disclosure also relates to a method of estimating a quantity of liquid (LQ) in a container.
DISCHARGE DEVICE
A discharge device including a pump disposed to a container body in which contents are stored and which includes a discharge head provided with a discharge hole formed therein; a mounting cap; a support portion; and a press-down member. By rotating the press-down member, the discharge head is moved downward and the contents are discharged from the discharge hole. The discharge device includes a stopper which is movable between a restricted position where the downward movement of the discharge head is restricted and a non-restricted position where the downward movement of the discharge head is allowed.
Trigger-type liquid dispenser
A trigger-type liquid dispenser that, even when lateral force is applied to a trigger, prevents liquid leakage. The trigger-type liquid dispenser includes a pump, which includes: a cylinder, which includes an inner tubular wall and an outer tubular wall; a piston, which has a front-side end portion; a front-side sealing piece and a rear-side sealing piece; an outer-circumferential-side support portion; and an inner-circumferential-side support portion. The outer-circumferential-side support portion is provided with an annular cut-off portion, which forms a gap between the outer-circumferential-side support portion and an outer circumferential surface of the piston.
Cover Arrangement for Fluid Dispenser
A fluid dispenser having a housing and a cover removably coupled to the housing with the cover having a right cover side wall and a left cover side wall secured together spaced laterally from each other and in which the cover side walls are resilient and deflectable laterally away from each other for disengagement of the cover from the housing.
Pump dispenser system
A dispenser system for dispensing a fluid product comprises: an elongated container containing the fluid product to be dispensed, a pump assembly coupled with the elongate container from the distal end, a piston which is slidably positioned in the container at the closed proximal end and contacting with the fluid product, and a standing cap. The standing cap has an opening for engaging the pump assembly, and has a supporting structure opposite to the opening, wherein the supporting structure comprises one or more supporting sections that define a supporting plane, wherein the dispenser system, when in a main standing position, stands upon the supporting structure of the standing cap, with the closed proximal end of the elongated container is on the topmost. Further the supporting structure of the standing cap has a projected area on the supporting plane which is larger than the largest cross-sectional area of the elongated container.
System for monitoring fluid in a fluid dispenser
A hand cleaning liquid dispenser including a fluid level gauging mechanism with a plurality, preferably three or more, vertically spaced optical sensors located closely adjacent an external of a side wall of the reservoir to each receive electromagnetic radiation transmitted through the side wall from within the reservoir with the electromagnetic radiation sensed originating from an emitter directing the electromagnetic radiation preferably through the reservoir downwardly.
Pivot-to-Dispense Soap Pump
A pivot-to dispense soap pump includes an actuator that dispenses soap when actuated. The actuator is configured to move downward when actuated by user input. The downward movement may be in either one of a linear movement, maintaining the actuator is a horizontal orientation, or a pivoting movement about a pivot point. The pivot point is located on a distal end of the actuator, which is opposite the nozzle. The pivoting motion allows a user to depress the actuator proximate to the nozzle, thereby allowing the user to dispense soap into the same hand used to actuate the actuator. As a result, efficient, one-handed soap pumping and dispensing is enabled.
Cover arrangement for fluid dispenser
A fluid dispenser having a housing and a cover removably coupled to the housing with the cover having a right cover side wall and a left cover side wall secured together spaced laterally from each other and in which the cover side walls are resilient and deflectable laterally away from each other for disengagement of the cover from the housing.
Treadmill Lubrication System and Method
A treadmill lubrication system and method is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the lubrication system comprises a spray bottle with a nozzle including an extended tube through which a silicone-based lubricant may be sprayed. The extended tube of the nozzle is designed to be inserted underneath the belt of a treadmill with the tube having a length sufficient to reach the treadmill components that require lubrication. The extended tube is preferably constructed from a material that provides enough rigidity to prevent significant bending and/or kinking of the tube, while still allowing for enough flexibility that the tube can be inserted underneath the belt of a treadmill without breaking or snapping in half.
