| 20100155430 | Curved Dip Tube for Sprayer Heads - A curved dip tube for sprayer heads that solves the problem of spraying air as a container's contents are dispensed and reduced to a level that allows the tip of a straight dip tube to become disengaged with the liquid as the container is tilted downward. As the user of a sprayer head tilts or tips it from a vertical to a horizontal position to spray the intended target the liquid level pools at the lowest point in the container. It then becomes advantageous for the tip of the curved dip tube to be positioned on the lowest point where the bottom meets the wall. This is accomplished by lengthening the dip tube and then curving it to direct the tip toward the side. Once installed onto a sprayer head and inserted into a container the curved dip tube extends toward the bottom of the container, curves and follows the contour of the bottom of the container, pointing in the same direction as the sprayer head output nozzle. The liquid contents of the container can now be fully consumed without spraying air during operation as the consumer uses the product in its entirety. | 06-24-2010 |
