Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved trigger type liquid discharge device to be fitted to an opening of a liquid container containing liquid in order to discharge the liquid.
  • Fig. 33 of the accompanying drawings illustrates a known trigger type liquid discharge device disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,819,835 and so designed as to be fitted to the opening of a liquid container containing liquid in order to discharge the liquid.
  • a pump unit E is arranged in parallel with a horizontally disposed discharge pipe unit F as illustrated in Fig. 33.
  • the trigger type liquid discharge device as illustrated in Fig. 33 is provided with a fitting section 101 by which the liquid discharge device is secured to an opening of a liquid container.
  • a trigger 102 of the device is pushed in a direction indicated by arrow J', a pushing member 103 by turn depresses a transversal groove 105 of a head 104 of piston unit G of the device so as to move a piston I until an end face 106 of the piston I abuts a bottom wall 107 of a cylinder H.
  • the liquid liquid filled in a cylinder chamber 108 is pushed out of the device through a liquid suction/discharge port 109 to a liquid flow path 110 so as to push a discharge valve body 111 under its pressure.
  • the discharge valve body 111 has a resiliently deformable section 112, which is resiliently deformed under the pressure of the liquid to open discharge valve seat 113.
  • liquid is allowed to flow into a flow path 115 of the discharge pipe F through discharge valve chamber 114.
  • the liquid flows into an another flow path 116 and then a shallow groove M arranged between a liquid guide L and a short pipe K of a nozzle head J.
  • the liquid flows into a still another flow path 117 in which spins the liquid, and is finally discharged through a discharge aperture 118.
  • the piston I compresses a spring 119 contained in the piston unit.
  • a ball valve 120 also contained in the unit is forced to abut a suction valve seat 121 under the pressure applied by the liquid of the flow path 110.
  • the piston After completing to discharge the liquid through the discharge aperture 118, and if the trigger 102 is released, the piston is returned to a position shown in Fig. 33 by the resilient force of the spring 119 to expand the cylinder chamber 108 so as to generate a negative pressure in the chamber 108.
  • Such negative pressure acts on the discharge valve body 111 and the ball valve 120 to cause the discharge valve body 111 to firmly abut and close the discharge valve seat 113. Consequently, the ball valve 120 is moved away from the suction valve seat 121 to allow liquid in the liquid container to flow through a suction pipe 122, the liquid flow path 110 and the port 109 into the cylinder chamber 108 so that the device ready is made ready for another discharge operation.
  • the cylinder H is provided in a part of its peripheral wall with an air intake port 123.

  • the piston I has a stroke end side resilient annular skirt 126 extending toward the bottom wall 107 of the cylinder H and an approach end side resilient annular skirt 127 extending toward the opening of the cylinder H. Said annular skirts 126 and 127 are held in close contact with the inner wall of the cylinder.
  • the trigger type liquid discharge device as disclosed in US Patent No. 4,819,835 and summarily described above functions correctly so long as a user uses it properly and operates the trigger in such a way that the piston completely moves from the stroke end position to the approach end position.
  • reference symbol N denotes a cap for covering the discharge aperture 117 and reference symbol O denotes a pivot of the cap N.
  • liquid may drip out from the discharge aperture 118 at the beginning and the end of a discharge phase.
  • liquid When liquid is discharged as foam, large bubbles of liquid that have not sufficiently foamed may come out through the aperture.
  • the trigger type liquid discharge device of the prior art has such drawbacks.

  • the above object is achieved by providing a trigger type liquid discharge device wherein a liquid pressure relief mechanism which returns any residual liquid pressure in the liquid flow path to the liquid container is provided on the pump unit of the device for pumping up liquid from the container to the liquid discharge device, so as to to prevent liquid from dripping out in the initial and final stages of liquid discharging operation.
  • the above object is achieved by providing a trigger type liquid discharge device having a valve structure on the upstream side of the discharge aperture and a liquid pressure relief mechanism on the pump unit of the device wherein the valve structure opens exactly when the internal liquid pressure gets to a predetermined discharge pressure and wherein the liquid pressure relief mechanism returns any residual liquid pressure in the liquid flow path to the liquid container to prevent liquid from dripping out in the initial and final stages of liquid discharging operation.
  • the trigger type liquid discharge device is constructed such that it is prevented to excessively decrease the pressure in the container due to the reciprocation of the pump mechanism.
  • the trigger type liquid discharge device is improved so that it is easy to form the valve construction.
