Assignee:

Continental Sprayers International, Inc. - St. Peters MO

International Classification:

B05B 730

US Classification:

239343, 239333, 239505, 239514, 239391, 2394285, 239539, 239481

Abstract:

A nozzle assembly including a nozzle member, a cap member, a spinner and a foam tube. The cap member is rotationally mounted on the nozzle member and may be rotated from an âoff-positionâ to a âfoam-positionâ with continued rotation bringing the cap member to a âspray-positionâ and then to a second âfoam-positionâ and then to the âoff-position. â Rotation of the cap member drives foam tube from a retracted position to an extended position extending forward of the nozzle member when the cap member is in the âfoam-position. â The spinner rotates to atomize liquid flowing through the assembly.

US Classification:

2395812, 239310, 239318, 239378, 2395811, 239569

Abstract:

An adjustable nozzle is attachable to the end of a garden hose and is also attachable to a separate product container, for example, a bottle containing a garden fertilizer or a bottle containing a cleaning soap concentrate. The adjustable nozzle receives a flow of water from the garden hose and dispenses a product from the container attached to the nozzle. The nozzle has a simplified construction with a reduced number of component parts and the operation of the nozzle is simplified yet enables a user to selectively discharge a flow of water or a mixture of water and product from the nozzle, to control the ratio of water to product when the nozzle is employed in dispensing the mixture of water and product, and to direct the discharge as a stream or disperse the discharge in an upwardly or downwardly directed fanned spray pattern.

Appl. No.:

10/458434

Inventors:

Jeffrey P. Stark - Wentzville MO, US

Assignee:

Continental AFA Dispensing Company - St. Peters MO

International Classification:

A62C 1362

US Classification:

239302, 239333, 22215313, 22215314, 2223811

Abstract:

An indexing nozzle assembly for a trigger sprayer has a manually rotatable cap mounted for rotation on a base of the nozzle assembly. Rotation of the cap relative to the base changes the nozzle assembly between an off condition where the nozzle assembly prevents liquid discharge from the trigger sprayer, and a combination of a spray condition, a stream condition, and/or a foam condition. The indexing nozzle assembly is provided with a child resistant feature in the form of a lock mechanism that prevents rotation of the nozzle cap relative to the nozzle base from the cap off condition position. The lock mechanism can be manually manipulated with one hand to disengage the lock mechanism, thereby permitting rotation of the nozzle cap from its off condition position relative to the base.

Abstract:

A liquid dispensing, manually operated trigger sprayer has a trigger with an ergonomic finger engagement surface. The trigger finger engagement surface extends longitudinally across the front of the trigger and has a protrusion at the top of the surface. The protrusion has a finger engagement surface portion that rests on the top of a finger of a user's hand while the user's hand manipulates the trigger of the trigger sprayer.
