Application April 22, 1940, Serial No. 330,918
10 Claims.
The invention relates to devices whereby small quantities of liquid may be withdrawn from a bottle or like container and applied to a desired surface without pouring from the bottle. Devices of this nature are commonly used in applying shoe polish, hair dye, face cream, cleaning fluid, deodorants, etc.
One object of the invention is to accommodate the discharge of a desired quantity of liquid varying from a few drops to a steady stream.
Another object is to arrange for the withdrawal of the liquid from the container directly onto a dauber which may be charged with the liquid without inserting the dauber into the container.
These and other detail objects of the invention are attained by the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section through a bottle and associated structure embodying one form of the present invention and showing all of the elements in the positionand condition characterizing the beginning of a liquid applying operation.
Figure 2 is a similar section showing the operating bulb and associated parts compressed to force air into the bottle.
Figure 3 is a similar section showing the bulb released and partially filled with liquid which may be discharged by further compression of the bulb.
Figure 4 illustrates a modified form of the invention in which the liquid is to be applied by means of a dauber and showing the parts at the beginning of a dauber charging operation.
Figure 5 shows the same parts with the operating bulb compressed to force air into the bottle.
- Figure 6 illustrates the same parts with the bulb released and the dauber charged with liquid.
Figure 7 is a detail section illustrating a different arrangement of the bulb and associated parts.
The bulb I shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3 has a general globular shape with a neck portion 2 adapted to receive and closely engage the neck 3 of a bottle .4 in which the liquid to be applied is normally contained. A hollow tube 5 of glass, rubber, or other material, projects from bulb I axially of bulb neck 2, and the exterior of the upper portion of tube 5 is tightly joined with the upper or inner end of bulb neck 2. An opentop cup-like partition 6 surrounds the upper 'end of tube 5 and the upper edge I of this partition is normally spaced from the opposing portion 8 of the top wall of bulb I. Bulb I and partition 6 are formed of flexible material such as vulcanized rubber which is readily deformable and possesses resiliency to return quickly to normal position when relieved from deforming pressure.
Assuming the bottle to be substantially filled with a liquid L and the bulb to be substantially filled with air A and having its normal contour, all as indicated in Figure 1, the pressure on the bulb top wall 8 distorts the contour of the bulb decreasing its volume and forces air downwardly through tube 5 discharging the same from the bottom of the latter where it will bubble upwardly, as indicated at B in Figure 2, and rise to the top of the bottle. As bulb wall 8 moves downwardly it contacts the upper edge of partition I and deforms the latter, as indicated in Figure 2. Upon release of pressure on bulb I the same returns to its normal position and the increased volume of its interior results in the pressure within the bulb and within the bottle being unbalanced so that the air in the upper portion of the bottle forces a quantity of liquid upwardly through tube 5 into cup 6 and, after the latter is filled, into the chamber 9 surrounding the cup, as indicated in Figure 3. Upon subsequent compression of bulb I liquid is discharged from chamber 9 through a vent IIl provided in the wall of the bulb. Ordinarily this vent will be too small to permit the air originally in the bulb to escape when pressure is first applied and will be too small to permit the bulb to be filled with air, instead of with liquid, when the first pressure is released. If desired, particularly if the bottle is almost full, shifting of liquid from the bottle to the bulb by the operations referred to above may be facilitated by placing a finger over vent III to prevent any outlet or inlet of air during the initial manipulation.
If desired, the bulb may be fitted with a nipple II around vent III to more clearly indicate the point of discharge and, if desired, a removable tube I2 of glass such as is used in the ordinary medicine dropper may be inserted through the nipple and removed for cleaning, etc.
The same general principle may be embodied in a somewhat different arrangement, as illustrated in Figures 4, 5 and 6, in which the liquid forced from the bottle, instead of being trapped in a chamber in bulb I5, is discharged against and trapped in a retaining member l6 removable from the bulb for application to a desired surface. Member I6 may consist of a sponge, cotton pad, brush or other material and is removably secured in the handle.
Bulb I5 has a neck portion I1 fitting around the bottle neck as previously described and the desurrounding the inlet from said' tube, the space between said partition and the side oi'said bulb being adapted to trap fluid drawn into said bulb through said tube, there being a vent in the side of said bulb for discharging trapped fluid indes- 2 g 2,311,367 a vice includes a tube It corresponding to that pendently of said tube when the bulb is again previously described.
