| 20130099024 | Spraying Device With Interchangeable Cartridge - A spraying device is provided that includes a cartridge containing a first fluid, the cartridge being removably connected to a sprayer body. The cartridge is oriented such that gravity exerts a downward force on the first fluid. The sprayer body includes a conduit for receiving a second fluid. A valve is coupled to the conduit. The valve allows the second fluid to flow through the valve, thus creating a Venturi vacuum that draws the first fluid out of the cartridge and into the valve to enable the first and second fluids to mix and form an outlet stream. An orifice meters a predetermined amount of the first fluid into the valve to achieve a predetermined ratio of the first fluid to the second fluid. The outlet stream is then dispensed from a spray nozzle. | 04-25-2013 |

| 20110139900 | DISPENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SHOWER ARM - Dispensing systems for dispensing one or more materials into a fluid flow conduit, during the conveyance of fluid through the conduit are configured to connect to a fluid conduit, such as a standard pipe of a shower arm and dispense a material into the water flow in the shower arm. The system includes a first tube member having a restrictor flow passage to provide a pressure differential, as fluid flows through the tube member. The pressure differential created within the restrictor passage by the fluid flow is communicated to a flask, to provide a pressure differential between the interior and the exterior of a flexible container within the flask. The pressure differential causes material within the flexible container to be drawn out and conveyed to the fluid flowing through the tube member. The flask may be connected to the first tube member, through an extension portion that is rotatable around the first tube member for convenient positioning. A quick-release connection structure may allow the flask to be connected and selectively releasable from the system. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20100252656 | Venturi-Effect Spraying Device and Its Use in Cosmetology and in Perfumery - A manual compressed air spraying device comprising a load in which a fixed in air nozzle forming a venture and the output nozzle, a mixing chamber into which directly runs a conduit for channeling product to be sprayed.

| 20110024525 | PERFUME BOTTLE SPRAY HEAD ASSEMBLY - A perfume bottle spray head assembly is disclosed to include a nozzle head, a lock cap, a receptacle, a plug, a dip tube, an outer cap and a rotary shut-off control plate. The nozzle head has passage means defined therein to facilitate mixing of liquid perfume with compressed air for enabling well-mixed liquid perfume and compressed air mixture to be sprayed out in a mist. The rotary shut-off control plate is operable to rotate the plug in the receptacle between a close position to shut off the liquid perfume passage and an open position to open the liquid perfume passage. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20110253805 | Atomized Cleaning Device and Method for Atomizing Air Current - An atomized cleaning device includes a container, an atomizing module, and a sprayer. The container has a chamber for receiving a liquid. The atomizing module has a sleeve and an air inlet pipe. The atomizing module is provided with an air hole to connect the air inlet pipe to the chamber to introduce a part of the air current of the air inlet pipe into the chamber. Thus, when the smaller partial air current of the air current in the air inlet pipe is introduced through the air hole into the chamber to balance the air pressure in the chamber, the cleaning liquid in the chamber is accelerated to flow into the sprayer by suction of the larger partial air current to increase the flow rate of the atomized liquid largely. | 10-20-2011 |
| 20120031999 | MULTIPLE FUNCTION DISPENSER - A dispenser for mixing and dispensing a liquid chemical concentrate with a dilutent from a container.

| 20120006912 | WATER FAUCET AND LIQUID SOAP SUPPLY ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - A water faucet includes a faucet spout having an open end, a flow-constricting device coupled to the open end of the faucet spout. The flow-constricting device includes a first water passage, and a liquid soap passage extending from a side of the flow-constricting device to the first water passage. A liquid soap delivering tube has an inlet end coupled to a liquid soap container and an outlet end coupled to the side of the flow-constricting device. When water runs through the first water passage, venture effect is produced causing a negative pressure that draws liquid soap out of the liquid soap container, through the liquid soap delivering tube and the liquid soap passage, and into the first water passage where the liquid soap mixes with the water and produces liquid soap foam after passing a screen. Dispensing-mode converters for converting the faucet from foam dispensing mode to water dispensing mode or water jet mode are also disclosed. | 01-12-2012 |
