Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a trigger sprayer which is connectable to a separate liquid container, where the trigger sprayer has a trigger that is manually manipulated to pump liquid from the container, and dispense the liquid from the trigger sprayer as a spray, stream, or foam.
  • the present invention pertains to a venting membrane that is secured in the trigger sprayer to permit venting of air into the interior volume of the container as liquid is dispensed from the container, and a gasket that seals the trigger sprayer to the container.
  • the present invention pertains to a trigger sprayer which is connectable to a separate container containing a liquid.
  • the trigger sprayer has a trigger that is manually manipulated to operate a pump in the trigger sprayer.
  • the pump draws liquid from the liquid container, through the trigger sprayer, and dispenses the liquid from the trigger sprayer as a spray, stream, or foam.
  • trigger sprayers There are many different systems employed in the construction of conventional trigger sprayers that allow for the venting of air to the interior of the liquid container connected to the trigger sprayer.
  • the venting systems of trigger sprayers allow air to enter the container and occupy the container internal volume vacated by liquid dispensed from the container by the trigger sprayer.
  • Venting of the container interior volume is required because the connection between the container and the trigger sprayer is typically a fluid-tight connection. This prevents the inadvertent leakage of the liquid contents of the container should the container and attached trigger sprayer be inverted or positioned on their sides.
  • the fluid-tight connection between the container and the trigger sprayer is typically provided by a gasket positioned between the upper rim of a neck of the container and a bottom annular surface of the trigger sprayer housing.
  • the connector that attaches the trigger sprayer to the container compresses the gasket between the container neck and the annular surface of the trigger sprayer housing, thereby providing the fluid- tight seal between the trigger sprayer and the container.
  • one typical venting system employs a resilient diaphragm valve that covers a vent hole in the sprayer housing that communicates the interior of the container with the container exterior environment, and a plunger connected to the trigger of the trigger sprayer. On manipulation of the trigger, the plunger is inserted through the sprayer housing vent hole and presses against the diaphragm valve, moving the diaphragm valve away from the vent hole and thereby venting the interior of the container.
  • venting system has been found to be disadvantaged in that the resiliency of the material of the diaphragm often does not enable the diaphragm valve to immediately position itself over the vent hole when the plunger is retracted. This can result in liquid leaking from the container through the vent hole. Providing the resilient diaphragm valve and the plunger in the trigger sprayer construction also increases the cost of construction.
  • Another prior art venting system employs a small vent piston that reciprocates with the trigger and the pump piston of the trigger sprayer. The vent piston reciprocates in a vent chamber formed in the sprayer housing. As the vent piston is pushed into the vent chamber, the piston uncovers a vent hole that allows the container interior to be vented to the exterior environment.
  • venting system that enables the interior of the container connected to the trigger sprayer to be vented, while maintaining the gasket fluid-tight seal between the trigger sprayer and without appreciably increasing the manufacturing costs of the trigger sprayer.
  • the construction of the trigger sprayer of the present invention overcomes the aforesaid disadvantages typically associated with prior art trigger sprayers by providing a trigger sprayer housing with a passive venting system that does not require movable parts and their associated costs.
  • the venting system of the invention comprises a vent hole in the trigger sprayer housing that vents air to the interior volume of the container attached to the trigger sprayer, where the vent hole is covered by a gas permeable, liquid impermeable membrane.
  • the vent hole and membrane are positioned on the sprayer housing to enable the sprayer housing to be economically manufactured, while allowing the sprayer housing to vent the interior volume of the container attached to the trigger sprayer, and while maintaining the fluid-tight seal between the trigger sprayer and the container.
  • the trigger sprayer of the invention is comprised of a housing constructed in two separate sections, a pump section and a vent section.
  • the pump section and the vent section are constructed so that these two sections can be press fit or snap fit together in assembling the trigger sprayer.
  • the housing pump section contains the component parts of the trigger sprayer that can be found in many conventional trigger sprayers.
  • This housing section contains the pump chamber , as well as the liquid supply passage and the liquid discharge passage that communicate with the pump chamber.
  • the bottom of the housing pump section has an opening dimensioned to receive the housing vent section.
  • a pump piston is assembled in the pump chamber for reciprocating movement of the piston in the chamber.
  • a trigger is mounted to the housing pump section for pivoting movement of the trigger.
  • the trigger is operatively connected with the pump piston for reciprocating the pump piston in the pump chamber in response to the trigger being manually manipulated on the trigger sprayer.
  • a liquid spinner or foamer or other similar component is assembled to the liquid discharge passage of the housing pump section, depending upon the desired pattern of liquid discharge from the trigger sprayer.
  • a shroud is assembled over the pump section of the housing to give the trigger sprayer an ecstatically pleasing appearance.
  • the vent section of the housing has a generally cylindrical configuration that is complementary to an interior configuration of the bottom opening of the housing pump section. This enables the two sections to be press fit or snap fit together by inserting the vent section into the pump section.
  • a liquid supply tube extends through the vent section and communicates with the liquid supply passage of the housing pump section.
  • a dip tube is attached to the liquid supply tube and extends into the liquid container attached to the trigger sprayer.
  • a circular flange with an annular surface surrounds a bottom opening of the housing vent section. The annular surface is positioned on the housing vent section to engage against a gasket positioned between the trigger sprayer and the neck of the liquid container to which the trigger sprayer is attached.
  • a vent wall on the housing vent section is coplanar and continuous with the annular surface. The vent wall has a vent opening that communicates and vents the interior of the container attached to the trigger sprayer with the exterior environment of the trigger sprayer.
  • a membrane is secured to the vent wall covering over the vent opening. The membrane is a gas pervious/liquid impervious membrane.
  • the vent section of the housing also includes a plurality of posts that project through the bottom opening of the housing.
  • the gasket is a flat, circular disk of typical gasket material.
  • the gasket has a circular peripheral edge that matches the circular peripheral edge of the annular surface of the housing vent section.
  • a plurality of holes pass through the gasket.
  • the plurality of holes include a liquid supply hole positioned on the gasket to accommodate the dip tube of the trigger sprayer extending through the liquid supply hole.
  • a vent hole also passes through the gasket in a position where the vent hole is positioned at the membrane covering the vent opening of the housing vent section.
  • the gasket could also be provided with a plurality of post holes that receive the plurality of posts on the housing vent section to hold the gasket against the annular surface of the housing vent section.
  • the gasket could be staked on the housing vent section by pressing the gasket, without post holes, on the ends of the post, thereby staking the gasket on the housing section.
  • the novel configuration of the trigger sprayer housing provides the trigger sprayer with a passive venting system of simplified and inexpensive construction.
  • the membrane employed over the vent opening prevents the leakage of liquid from the container through the trigger sprayer, while allowing the venting of air from the exterior of the trigger sprayer to the container interior.
  • the coplanar positioning of the vent opening wall and the annular surface of the housing vent section enables the same gasket to be used to seal around the vent opening and seal between the trigger sprayer and the liquid container.
  • the combination of these features provides a trigger sprayer that is economically manufactured, provides a fluid-tight seal between the trigger sprayer and the liquid container, and prevents the leakage of liquid from the container while allowing container venting.
