Description

Patented May 7, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE LIQUID DISPENSING DEVICE Jacob C. Miller, Whitefish Bay, Wis.
Application December 18, 1933, Serial No. 702,885 6 Claims. (01. 221-102) This invention relates to liquid dispensing devices.
It is a primary object of the invention to provide a container for liquid having a novel and eflicient means for dispensing a liquid other than by tilting or inverting the container.
More specifically, it is an object 01' this invention to provide for a liquid dispensing bottle, a manually operable pump device and reservoir fitted into the mouth of the bottle and adapted to seal the bottle when the device is not manually operated.
Another object is to provide a liquid dispenser for bottles, which may be designed to dispense a. predetermined amount of liquid by manually regulating the number and extent of plunger strokes, whereby to effect a saving in liquid to the user of this controlled device.
A further object is to provide a liquid dispensing device which may be easily applied to standard bottles and which will be simple and cheap to manufacture, and which will last for a long period of time without repair.
Other objects will appear as the description progresses.
In the drawing:
The drawing is a vertical sectional view taken axially through a bottle equipped with a stopper embodying the device.
The container l for the purpose of illustration comprises a bottle provided with a threaded neck 2. Threaded to the bottle neck 2 is a centrally apertured cap nut 3 of sufiicient size to accommodate centrally apertured cap 5 having at its lower end a flange 5 engaging the marginal area adjacent the central aperture 4 of threaded cap nut 3. Engaging the inner end of the apertured cap 5 is a sealing washer l seated upon the end of the bottle neck 2. The apertured cap has a reservoir II in its outer end communicating with the aperture I5 in the cap 5.
Inserted in the aperture l5 of the cap 5 is a cylindrical plunger l6, bevelled intermediate its ends at I! to provide a reduced end 8 having a diameter less than the diameter of the aperture IS. The plunger I6 is recessed or cupped at end 8 toreceived either the finger of an operator or the end of an orangewood stick or other manicuring implement. The plunger l5 extends slightly above the plane of the upper margin of the cap 5 to permit a longer stroke of the plunger than would otherwise be possible. The plunger I6 is shouldered at 24 to provide a piston end I8 slidably fitting within the elongated tube 25 carried by cap 5. The tube 25 is received in the recess 2| and is secured therein by engagement with the wall thereof. The tube 25 is substantially concentric with the aperture l5 to permit the bevelled portion I'I to engage the margin of the aperture I5 of the cap 5. 1
The piston end I9 is centrally recessed at 22 to receive a centrally apertured bushing 25 having a flange 21 engaging the inner end of the plunger It. The recess 22 extends in reduced size at 23 to communicate with the radial apertures 28 which communicate with the annular space 58 between the plunger l5 and the tube 25. A small aperture 59 is provided through which, from time to time, air may enter the bottle. It is too small an opening to divert any appreciable proportion of the liquid being pumped. A ball valve is seated in inner bevelled face II of bushing 26.
Bushing 26 is held in position on the plunger It by means of a helical spring 32 engaging the flange 2'! of the bushing 26. The helical spring 22 is positioned at its end on the flange 4| of the centrally apertured bushing 42. The bushing flange 4| is seated on the inner end 01. the centrally apertured plug 43, which is provided with a valve seat 53 upon which a ball valve 54 is seated.
The device is particularly adapted for use by manicurists. Its use in this fleld will exemplify its more general utility.
Assuming the container I has a supply 0! liquid, the operator desiring to use this device will ordinarily operate the plunger l6 against the compression of spring 32 by pressing upon the cupped end thereof with an orangewood stick wrapped at its end with cotton to be moistened in the contents of the bottle.
The movement of plunger I 6 causes pressure to be exerted on the surface of the liquid confined in the tube thus firmly seating valve 54 and causing the liquid in the tube to flow past the valve so into the recess 22 and from there into the space 58.
When the plunger I 6 is released for vertical movement the helical spring 32 will return the plunger IE to its original position. At the beginning of this return movement the valve reseats and valve 54 opens admitting liquid to tube 25. Liquid in the chamber 58 will, by the upward movement of the plunger l6, be pushed on through aperture l5 in cap 5 and thus into recess II. The cotton on the stick used to manipulate the plunger will be moistened in the liquid maintained in recess H by the seating of the plunger surface I! against the closure 5 at the lower end of passage I5.
I claim:
1. In a liquid container having an apertured neck, the combination with an apertured cap secured thereto, of a tube secured to the inner face of said cap co-a'xially with said aperture, a plunger reciprocable in said tube, said plunger having a piston portion, a plunger portion of less diameter than said piston portion and a second portion of less diameter than said plunger portion extending through said aperture 0! said cap and providing a valve portion between said plunger portions adapted to seat upon the margin of said aperture, said plunger also having a recess in its piston portion communicating with the space between said plunger portions and said tube, valve means in said recess, valve means at inner end of said tube, and a spring disposed between said means whereby to normally hold valve portion oi! said plunger in contact with said cap.
