20090308897 | Trigger Sprayer Having a Reduced Number of Parts and a Double Tubular Valve Member - A trigger sprayer has a one piece valve member that includes both an inlet valve element and an outlet valve element. The one piece valve member replaces the separate liquid inlet valve and liquid outlet valve of a conventional trigger sprayer, and thereby provides a more simplified construction for the trigger sprayer and a fewer number of component parts in the trigger sprayer. | 12-17-2009 |
20090308896 | Venting System for Battery Operated Sprayer - A venting system for a trigger sprayer includes an elongate vent member positioned in a vent hole in a closure cap of the trigger sprayer and a trigger actuator that is connected by a pivot connection to the trigger sprayer. The pivot connection of the trigger actuator is in close proximity to the vent member and the vent hole, and a finger engaging surface on the trigger actuator extends away from the pivot connection and away from the closure cap. Manipulating the trigger actuator toward the trigger sprayer causes the trigger actuator to pivot about the pivot connection and push the vent member into the vent opening of the closure cap, thereby opening a vent pathway through the closure cap. Releasing the trigger actuator allows the trigger to pivot away from the trigger sprayer and pull the vent member through the vent opening in the closure cap to close the vent pathway. | 12-17-2009 |
20090256008 | Trigger Sprayer Nozzle Assembly with Pull/Push Foaming Tube - An indexing nozzle assembly for a trigger sprayer is comprised of a nozzle base that is attachable to a sprayer housing of the trigger sprayer, a cap that is mounted for rotation on the nozzle base, and a foaming tube that is mounted for linear reciprocating movement on the cap. Rotation of the cap on the nozzle base changes liquid discharge from the trigger sprayer between an off condition and at least a spray condition. In the spray condition of the nozzle cap, the foaming tube can be manually pulled and extended from the nozzle cap. With the foaming tube extended from the nozzle cap, the liquid discharge from the nozzle assembly in a spray pattern comes into contact with an interior surface of the tube and generates a foam discharge from the nozzle assembly. | 10-15-2009 |
20090152304 | Break-Away Spring and Piston Rod for a Trigger Sprayer - A manually operated trigger sprayer has an integral plastic spring and pump piston rod that are connected by a breakable connection, whereby the spring and piston rod can be assembled to the trigger sprayer as one piece and are subsequently broken into two separate pieces in response to their assembly to the trigger sprayer, or subsequent manual operation of the trigger sprayer. | 06-18-2009 |
20080223881 | Trigger Sprayer Having a Two-Piece Shroud with Top and Bottom Pieces - A trigger sprayer that is manually held and operated to pump liquid from an attached bottle and dispense the liquid in a selected discharge pattern from the trigger sprayer has an aesthetically appearing shroud that is comprised of only two pieces that snap together over the exterior of the trigger sprayer housing. | 09-18-2008 |
