IZf. at its.: topy onto which acap I3-;' is. screwed, sur# rounding theU neck; portions' l2 is". a walt portion II concentrically arranged so as to collectzany/ of; the. liquid which mayr have: drained. from;y a headportionI-d on thecap I3.. Sncnliduid'will beicollected within thewalflportioxr. I I andlvthus. prevented from draining. down` the: side: of; the container Itl so as; to get'. upon. the handss' ot the.y person: handling; thev container or uponi the support on which' the bottom.;.of the container" rested;` 'Ehefcapy I3: has a gasket t5!` therel within so as to make an air tight connectionl wittnthe: neckt portionl |211 Extending' from. the sidezof theheadportion lid isan air-'inlet-nippe'y Mito which @rubber tube. |"1f is connected; The outenend of the, rubber tubey lili. has anair. huliry I8 connected to-it'whereby'the head-fportion` Mi can. be supplied: with air'and air' forced: through afsmallpa'ssage l9iinthe head portion-Mi. Such air willi also be directed downwardly through. a; passage 20' in the :head2 portion to the topot-`v the liquid; in the container-so' as to prox/idea pres1- sure.- thereupony to assist` the atomizing action.`
Aals'o there isf a passageway 2i( which enteritis upwardlyfthroug-i the head'portion Il; To-tfie head portionv and in communication witliv thein'e'cteda screw porti'orr`24 of a screw neadf 25pm screwing action on an internally threaded* por-*- tion 25 of' the' pipe 2t:l With the. screw head" 26 inthepositionshown. in Fig. 5 the surfacesof the screw head will engage with a surface 21 on the bottom end of the pipe and tend to close the same so as to prevent fluid from entering the pipe. This has an advantage as when it is desired to ship the container with the liquid in it.
When the atomizer is to be set up for operation the screw thread 26 is turned downwardly to a position shown in Fig. 6. Liquid will enter between the threads and move upwardly into the pipe 23. The-adjustingscrew 26 has4 an extension 28 which extendsup'wardly into the top end of the pipe 23. This extension 2B is of less diameter than the interior diameter of the pipe so as to permit the free passage of liquids upwardly through the pipe. The extension 2li is of square section as shown more clearly in Fig. 4. It `will be apparent that while it is not necessary that the hole which extends through the pipe be so large in order to get a supply of liquid to the top of the same and into the head portion, that there has been provided a structure .whereby the small holel for the passage of liquid can be provided without the necessity of a delicatedrilling or machining operation. It would lbe difficult to have such a hole of such small size in a pipe which extends down to the bottom of the container and if such an arrangement were `provided it would be diilicult to effect a cleaning operation of the same. With the present structure the pipe v23 can be removed from the head portion I4 and the ex tension 28 taken out thereof and the pipe readily cleaned. At the same time the passage of liquid through the same is limited and there is little opportunity for a great amount or air to be within the liquid which is raised to the head portion I4 as would be the case if a larger opening were extended upwardly from the bottom of the container.
Itwill be noted that the threaded portion 24 has a flat portion 25A which will permit a larger ilow of liquid into the end of the pipe 23 should the screw portion 24 be withdrawn to a greater distance from the bottom end of the pipe than as shown in Fig. 6. Accordingly there has been provided an adjusting screw for controlling the amount of liquid to enter and be raised in the pipe.
In order that the atomizer may be totally closed forthe purpose of shipment with liquid therein, there is provided at the bottom end of the passage 20 screw threads 3i into which a screw can be inserted along with a sealing washer.
vFixed to the cap I3 is a laterally and down wardly inclined portion 29 which serves as a support for the bulb I8 ,and which can be grasped by the same hand that grasps the bulb so that the container with the liquid can be raised by the same hand that grasps the bulb. vAccordingly one hand can be used for dispensing the atomized fluid. Ihe'bulb I8 is simply pressed against the laterally extending portion or shelf 29. This portion 2d is curved on its top face to nicely receive the bulb I8 and to prevent the bulb from being laterally olset from the same. v
The `bulb I8 will have two valves therein so that it acts as a pump. When this bulb is taken with the laterally extending portion` or shelf `2S there is provided a handle for the atomizer. In other words the pump is formed in the handle. Instead of a bulb type of` pump, a piston Ior plunger type or an electric pump can be usedand.these later` pumps can also be incorporated r'in the,
handle.V y l While various changes may be made in the detailed construction, it vshall be understood that suchchanges shall be within the spirit and scope Cil '4 of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
