Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of self-contained manually operable applicators for fluids and particularly to a non-pressurized apparatus that is adapted for one-handed use in any orientation and is designed for application of a fluid to a surface.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,652,163 to Karliner et al., "Liquid Applicator with Scraper and Method of Use” discloses a gravity-flow type applicator.
  • the applicator has a liquid container with an attached applicator, a detachable scrape overcap, and a separate protective cover. Transfer of liquid between the container and the applicator, which has a sponge on its outer surface, is regulated by a nozzle and spring valve assembly located within the container. The spring holds the nozzle against the inside of the neck of the container and seats the container. When force is applied to the applicator, the nozzle, which is located right under the applicator pad, is pushed back into the container, opening a channel between the nozzle and the neck opening of the container, allowing the liquid to flow out onto the applicator.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,091,966 to Leawe "Squeeze Bottle Containing A Powdered Product and Operative Whether Upright or Inverted” discloses a flexible bottle from which powder can be ejected by squeezing the bottle, the powder first entering a U-shaped tube within the bottle and connected to the dispensing orifice.
  • the tube has an opening at the bottom of the U, through which powder enters the tube when the bottle is upright, and an apparatus at one top of the U, through which powder enters the tube when the bottle is inverted.
  • US-A- 4,091,966 shows an applicator comprising various orifices adapted to direct air flow into a powder product which is discharged from the known applicator.
  • the inlets are adapted to allow the powder to be entrained within the air but they are not suited for introducing liquid to be sprayed into a device such as a cup for propelling it from the known applicator.
  • some fluid transfer means are to be provided to pull said fluid into said device.
  • US-4,091,966 cannot be used for the application of fluid because the amount of the discharged liquid is not controllable, especially when the applicator is used in an inverted position.
  • US-2,011,635 shows a fluid reservoir with two tubes entering the reservoir, said tubes having different lengths.
  • this device cannot be used in an inverted position because one of these two tubes is intended to be beneath the liquid surface when the device is in operation so that various orientations of the fluid reservoir during operation of the device are not permissible.
  • the handling of the device is cumbersome because the device consists substantially of a jar and an applicator being connected by two flexible tubes so that two hands are needed all the time whenever the device is operated in different positions.
  • a liquid applicator for hair dressing use is disclosed in CH-A-406.544 which applicator comprises a pumping mechanism including a bellows, a cup receiving the outlet of the pumping mechanism and liquid application means mounted on said cup.
  • the bellows functions as a pump and presses liquid into the cup whereby the liquid application means absorbs liquid.
  • the application movements are not extensive enough for effecting such up and down movements to fill the cup with liquid so that when holding the applicator with one hand additional up and down movements of the cup with the other hand are necessary.
  • this applicator cannot be used in an inverted position, because in such a position the free liquid surface in the container sinks below the end of a hollow tube member forming the inlet for the pumping mechanism. For this reason the applicator can only be used in a more or less upright position.
  • methods of introducing roach and ant, or other insect killers into an area range from the use of fumigators, which disperse the insecticide throughout the area and usually require the removal of foodstuffs from the area, to the application of insecticidal foams to selected areas, a method which is especially effective for cracks and crevices, but one that, when the foam is applied to exposed areas can leave an undesirable residue, to the placing of insect devices such as bait stations in an area.
  • Pressurized cans for the application of insecticides are frequently used to control insect populations, but there are times when it is desirable to be able to control placement of the insecticide exactly, with no possibility of drift.
  • Such a method and apparatus would avoid the need for the placing of a separate bait station in an area, but obviously, should not be used on an area that pets or children would be expected to eat from or lick.
  • FIGURE 1 is a partially exploded perspective drawing of one embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a partially exploded perspective drawing of a second embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 3 is a partial side sectional view of the embodiment of FIGURE 1 taken along section lines 3-3 showing the invention in an essentially upright position, with fluid transfer mechanism depicted schematically.
  • FIGURES 4 and 5 are illustrative drawings of the invention showing the method of use of the applicator in the essentially inverted position.
  • FIGURE 6 is a sectional detail view of the fluid transfer mechanism of the invention oriented in an upright position.
  • FIGURE 7 is a sectional detail view of the fluid transfer mechanism of the invention oriented in an essentially inverted position.
  • FIGURE 8 is a top view of the applicator cap surface of the embodiment of FIGURE 1.
  • FIGURE 9 is an exploded detail side sectional view of the applicator cap, pad, and part of the fluid transfer means, taken along section line 3-3 of Figure 1.
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 show partially exploded views of two possible embodiments of fluid applicator apparatus 10, functionally similar but differing in the orientation of the top surface 20 of applicator cap 30 and of pad of porous material 40.
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 also show fluid reservoir 50, protective overcap 54, closure cap 60, which sits over the neck 52 of fluid reservoir 50, and, emerging from closure cap 60, fluid outlet 70 (which is part of fluid transfer means 80 which is itself not visible in FIGURES 1 and 2).
  • fluid transfer means 80 includes a pumping mechanism 82, a ball check valve assembly 84, a dip tube 86 extending from the bottom of the combined pumping mechanism and ball check valve assembly toward the bottom of fluid reservoir 50, the dip tube having fluid inlet 87 at its bottom end, fluid outlet means 70 situated on the top of pumping mechanism 82 and extending through closure cap 60.
  • fluid transfer means so can be crimped into the neck of the fluid reservoir, making refill impossible but minimizing access to the contents and thus adding a child protective feature to the device.
  • the neck 52 of fluid reservoir 50 and closure cap 60 may be configured with matching screw threads, which would allow the apparatus to be opened to allow refill. Details of the preferred embodiment of ball check valve 84 are further shown in FIGURES 6 and 7.
  • FIGURE 3 shows the fluid applicator apparatus in the upright position, the position in which the apparatus would be oriented to apply a strip of insecticide to the underside of a cabinet or like surface, the applicator being filled with fluid 90 (illustrated only in Figs 6 and 7).
  • fluid 90 illustrated only in Figs 6 and 7.
  • FIGURES 4 and 5 show the apparatus in the essentially inverted position, as it would be oriented to apply a strip of insecticide along a floor, the inside lower surface of a cabinet, or like surface.
  • FIGURE 4 shows the apparatus with fluid reservoir 50 and applicator cap 30 telescoped into each other along slide area 92 (visible in FIGURE 5) on fluid reservoir 50. This position as described above, forces the fluid from the pumping mechanism 82 and hence into pad of porous material 40.
  • FIGURE 5 shows fluid reservoir 50 and applicator cap 30 in the extended position, in which a predetermined volume of fluid is pulled into pumping mechanism 82 through fluid inlet 100.
  • protective overcap 54 which protects the apparatus during transport and handling and prevents fluid transfer means 80 from being accidentally activated, has been removed before the applicator is used.
  • FIGS 6 and 7 show details of the pumping and ball check valve mechanisms, with dip tube 86 truncated. While many variations of pump and dip tube assemblies exist and may be used in the present invention, the preferred pumping mechanism is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,230,242, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The combination of this basic pump mechanism with the ball check valve, which creates the unique "any orientation" feature of the mechanism, is disclosed by pending U.S. Pat. Ser. No. 305,288. When applicator cap 30 is telescoped against the main body of fluid reservoir 50 (as shown in Figures 4 and 5), fluid outlet 70 is pressed back into pumping mechanism 82 and compresses biasing spring 94.
  • the fluid transfer mechanism When the apparatus is in the upright orientation, the fluid transfer mechanism, as shown in Figure 6, operates as follows: ball 98 sits over and thus blocks first fluid inlet 100, so that fluid 90 can only be drawn into pumping mechanism 82 through second fluid inlet 87 at the end of dip tube 86.
  • the fluid transfer mechanism When the apparatus is held in an essentially inverted, angled orientation, as shown in FIGURE 7, the fluid transfer mechanism operates as follows: ball 98 has, as the apparatus is tilted, rolled along channel 102 and, by so doing, uncovered first fluid inlet 100. In this orientation, as the pumping mechanism 82 is actuated as described above, fluid is drawn into chamber 96 through first fluid inlet 100. Second fluid inlet 87, in this orientation, will most likely be above the level of fluid 90.
  • fluid may be pumped in any orientation.
  • the only limitation would be that if the apparatus were held at a shallow angle and inadequate fluid remained to cover fluid inlet 87. In such a case, the user would only need to steepen the angle to be able to pump out the remaining fluid.
  • FIGURES 8 and 9 show design and assembly details of applicator cap 30 and pad of porous material 40.
  • applicator cap 30 has formed within its top surface 20 recess, designed to accept pad of porous material 40, central apertures 112, and channels 114 extending outwardly from apertures 112.
  • Fluid outlet 70 interference fits into receiving area 118, creating a seal.
  • FIGURE 9 when the apparatus is assembled, fluid outlet 70 sets just below and in contact with the portion of applicator cap surface 20 that contains apertures 112. Pad of porous material sits above apertures 112 and channels 114 in recess.
  • fluid transfer means 80 is activated, as described above, fluid is ejected from fluid outlet 70, and then passes through apertures 112. Channels 114 then serve to spread the fluid ejected from apertures 112 along the underside of pad of porous material 40.
  • a brush-type applicator might be preferable to the pad of porous material were the fluid applicator to be used to apply cleansing fluids to fabrics or irregular surfaces.
