Definitions

  • This invention relates to new and improved fluid dispensing pumps of the class in which the pump plunger is immobilized in a predetermined position for packing and shipping purposes to avoid inadvertent actuation and discharge of the liquid contents of a container to which such a pump may be applied.
  • the liquid may escape either through the usual liquid discharge passage of the plunger and the plunger head or between the plunger and the barrel in which it works.
  • a primary object of the present invention to provide an improved form of fluid dispensing pump having means for retaining the plunger in immobilized position and including additional means rendered operative by immobilization of the plunger for closing oif the plunger discharge passage and at the same time providing a fluid seal or block preventing egress of the liquid between the pump plunger and its associated barrel.
  • the preferred means for retaining the plunger thus immobilized is a protective hold-down cap which is threaded or otherwise secured to the container over the plunger head to depress the plunger to its immobilized position against spring pressure.
  • the invention further contemplates that the discharge opening or orifice of the plunger head will be surrounded by a frusto-conical sealing surface for cooperation with a similar frusto-conical interior surface of the protective cap whereby to prevent discharge of fluid from the plunger head into the cap incident to application of the cap and depression of the plunger to its immobilized position, as will as subsequent thereto.
  • a still further object of the invention is to provide the cap and the threaded collar or other portion on which it is received with cooperating sealing means.
  • sealing means may comprise an upwardly axially opening annular groove in the threaded collar and an integral sealing ring guided by the cap for jamming reception in said groove.
  • the cap may be formed of a somewhat flexible 2,956,509 Patented Oct. 18, 1960 resilient plastic, such as polyethylene, to attain an improved sealing function by its said sealing ring and such ring will further function to resist radial stretching of the cap skirt with consequent slippage of the threads during application of the cap by automatic machinery.
  • this well-recognized difficulty inherent in threaded resilient caps is overcome by the present invention.
  • Figure 1 represents an axial sectional view through a liquid dispensing pump of the invention and the threaded container cap to which it is applied, the intake or suction tube of the pump being shown but fragmentarily.
  • the pump is shown with the plunger in its immobilized position and with the protective cap applied;
  • Figure 2 is a view of the pump structure shown in Figure 1, but with the protective cap removed and the pump plunger raised to operative position;
  • FIGS 3 and 4 respectively are fragmentary sectional views taken in the same plane as Figures 1 and 2 and showing modified forms of plunger seals;
  • Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 1, showing a slightly modified form of pump structure
  • Figure 6 is a detail elevational view of the upper end portion of the pump plunger and plunger head as seen from the right in Figure 2;
  • Figure 7 is a section on the line 77 of Figure 5.
  • Figure 8 is a section on the line 8-8 of Figure 5.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a liquid dispensing pump, which in this instance is mounted in a usual threaded metal container cap for application to a bottle, can or other container to dispense the liquid contents thereof in a known manner.
  • the pump comprises a stationary pump barrel 10, which may conveniently be molded or cast from a substantially rigid material such as vinyl plastic.
  • the pump barrel 10 is of hollow tubular construction so that its interior defines a pump cylinder 11 and it will be seen that the barrel at its upper end is centered in and opens through a circular central opening 13 within the container cap 12. The particular manner in which the barrel is so mounte will be more fully described hereinafter.
  • a suction tube 14 which may be of plastic or other usual material. It will be understood that the lower end of such tube, which is broken away in the present drawings, will depend into the liquid within the container to a point closely adjacent to the bottom of the container whereby the liquid contents may be withdrawn and dispensed through the pump structure of the invention.
  • the upper end of the tube 14 is received and frictionally or otherwise retained in a depending sleeve portion 16 integral with the pump barrel.
  • a foot valve cage or housing 1 8 formed with an inclined annular valve seat 20 for cooperation with a foot valve element exemplified by the ball valve 22.
  • the inwardly projecting valve seat portion 20 has a lower surface abutting against and thereby serving to position the upper end of the suction tube 14.
  • the ball valve 22 may, if desired, be guided in its seating and unseating movement by a plurality of guide ribs 24 and its unseating movement is preferably limited by overlying inwardly projecting retainers ordetents 26. These retainers have their inner ends disposed about a circle of very slightly smaller diameter than that of the ball valve 22. How
  • the plastic vinyl or other material from which the pump barrel is formed has sufiicient inherent resiliency so that it may be expanded sufiiciently to permit forcing the ball 22 downwardly past these retainers into the valve cage 18, during assembly of these parts.
  • a generally tubular plunger 28 Disposed for reciprocation within the pump barrel is a generally tubular plunger 28, which also may be formed of vinyl or other plastic material. It will be noted that the upper end of this plunger projects upwardly through the open upper end of the barrel 11 and above the container cap 12, where it carries a cap-like plunger discharge head 29.
  • the plunger At its lower end the plunger carries a piston consisting essentially of an inverted cup having downwardly and outwardly flaring skirt 30 in snug sliding engagement with the inner cylinder wall 11 of the pump barrel.
  • the piston 30 includes an upper sleeve extension 32 which is press-fitted into the lower end of the plunger or otherwise retained therein.
  • the several parts of the piston are integrally constructed of resilient material such as polyethylene plastic, whereby the lower edges of the piston skirt 30 may tend to resiliently expand into fluid-tight engagement with the inner wall 11 of the barrel and thereby function more efficiently.
  • the piston 32 carries a downward extension or probe 34, which, in this embodiment, is of downwardly opening tubular construction, the arrangement being such that a passage 36 extends completely through the piston from the lower end of the probe upwardly into communication with the tubular interior of the plunger 28 to provide a discharge passage portion connecting with the tube 14 through the intermediary of the foot valve 18.
  • a downward extension or probe 34 which, in this embodiment, is of downwardly opening tubular construction, the arrangement being such that a passage 36 extends completely through the piston from the lower end of the probe upwardly into communication with the tubular interior of the plunger 28 to provide a discharge passage portion connecting with the tube 14 through the intermediary of the foot valve 18.
  • a coil spring 38 disposed concentrically about the probe 34 under compression between the piston and the lower end of the cylinder within the pump barrel.
  • An upwardly presented annular shoulder 39 on the plunger is disposed for abutting engagement with the wiper ring 73, more fully described hereinafter, to limit the upward stroke of the plunger.
  • a breather passage or passages 40 through the side of the barrel just below the horizontal web of the container cap 12 and its associated sealing structure.
  • Such port or ports 40 establish communication between the interior of the container and the interior of the pump barrel above the piston to permit return flow of the fluid, and also permit air from the container to flow into and from the barrel above piston 30, thus preventing an air lock such as might interfere with the plunger reciprocation.
  • the plunger 28 Adjacent its upper end, the plunger 28 is provided with an additional valve seat 41 on which is seated a ball check valve 42 arranged to permit upward flow of fluid from the plunger head.
  • the plunger discharge head 29 is shown as being in form of an inverted cup-like member having its depending skirt receiving and enclosing the open upper end of the plunger tube 28.
  • the closed upper end 46 of the plunger discharge head is formed as a finger piece of suitable shape to permit actuation of the pump by repeatedly depressing it against the resilient force of its spring 38 and subsequently removing the finger pressure to permit the spring to return the plunger to its raised position.
  • the plunger head Internally the plunger head is formed with a depending stop 52 to limit unseating movement of ball 42.
  • the lower end of the plunger head 29 terminates externally of the plunger tube 28 in an annular stealing ring or skirt 48, the lower outer periphery or lip of which constitutes a sealing surface which is adapted for engagement and cooperation with an annular sealing surface 76 concentrically surrounding and spaced from the upper end of the pump barrel for preventing escape of fluid upwardly between the pump barrel and plunger, such as might otherwise occur, for instance, in the event the pump and its container are inverted or partially inverted, and the fluid contents of the container thus permitted to flow through the breather ports 40 into the space between the plunger and pump barrel.
  • the sealing surface or periphery 49a of the plunger skirt may be formed parallel to the conical sealing surface 76, as in the modification of Figure 3, for flush wedging engagement between said surfaces.
  • the peripheral sealing surface 49b may be formed as a knife edge for yielding line engagement with the surface 76.
  • the ball valve 42 will remain seated to apply suction, drawing liquid upwardly through the tube 14, the ball valve 22 being thereby unscated to permit passage of such liquid into the plunger tube 28. Then, as the plunger and plunger head are depressed, the wall valve 22 will reseat to prevent return flow of the liquid and the ball valve 42 will be opened to permit upward flow of the liquid into the plunger head 29 and thence outwardly through the discharge port or opening 54 in the side wall of the plunger head. While the discharge port 54 may communicate directly with the atmosphere, in the present embodiment it is shown as delivering the fluid into a spray nozzle structure for ejection in the form of a spray.
  • annular recess 56 around the outer end of this discharge opening or port, said recess being defined by an annular radiallyprojecting wall 57, having its radially projected periphery 57' disposed on the surface of an imaginary cone to provide a sealing surface for cooperation with the conical interior of the protective cap as hereinafter described.
  • a spray disc 58 Pressed into and frictionally retained or cemented within the annular recess 56 is a spray disc 58 having a spray discharge orifice 62, which receives fluid from the discharge passage 54 through usual tangential whirl passages 59 and an annular distributing passage 60.
  • connection is defined in the preferred embodiment by an annular plastic member 64 cemented or otherwise secured around the upper end of the pump barrel for disposition beneath the horizontal web of the container cap and for clamping between said cap and the upper end or lip of the container neck on which the cap is to be applied.
  • a suitable gasket 66 may be applied over the under-face of the member 64- for sealing engagement with the bottleneck or lip.
  • annular wall 68 Formed integrally with the member 64 is an upstanding annular wall 68 which projects upwardly through the central cap opening 13 for connection to the annular collar or adapter member 70, being preferably received and frictionally retained or cemented in a downwardly pre sented annular groove 72 in the collar 70, so that the cap 12 is effectively clamped between members 70 and 64.
  • the lower end of the collar may conveniently support the wiper ring 73 hereinbcfore referred to for sliding wiping engagement with the plunger tube 28 and for abutting engagement with the shoulder 39 of the plunger tube to limit the upward movement of the plunger.
  • the inner wall 76 of the collar above the wiper ring 73 preferably converges downwardly in the form of a conical sealing surface spaced from the plunger tube for reception of and sealing engagement with the depending annular sealing skirt 48 of the plunger head.
  • the skirt 48 and plunger head areboth preferably formed. integrally of a. resilient plastic such as polyethylene and the collar 70 is preferably formed of a substantially rigid material such as vinyl plastic.
  • the annular outer wall 80 of the collar is formed externally with screw threads 82 for cooperation with internal screw threads 84 on the depending inner wall portion of the protective cap 86.
  • cap 86 is disposed over the upper end of the plunger and plunger head and that its upper end engages the finger piece 46 to depress the plunger head and plunger to immobilized position as shown in Figure 1 when the cap 86 is threaded tightly onto the collar 70.
  • the collar is formed with an upwardly presented groove 88 inwardly of its threaded outer wall 80 for reception of a depending annular sealing ring 90 on the cap.
  • the dimensions of the groove and sealing ring are so related that the sealing ring 90 preferably makes a jamming fit into the groove 88.
  • the cap 86 be of resilient material in order that its conical interior sealing surface 92 may form a fluid tight sealing engagement with the conical peripheral surface 57' of the spray head and also so that its sealing ring 90 may form a yielding fluid tight fit within the groove 88.
  • the cap is thus formed of resilient plastic, however, it is subject to the usual and known difliculty that excessive tightening of the cap, as by automatic capping mechanism, may tend to expand the lower edge of the cap skirt so that the threads 84 of the cap will override and become disengaged from the threads 82 on the collar.
  • the depending ring or skirt 90 in addition to performing its sealing function, will resist such expansion tendency and thus adapt the resilient material caps for eflicient application by automatic capping mechanism.
  • the plunger head For the purpose of automatically centering the protective cap 86 and guiding its threaded skirt accurately onto the threads of the collar 70, there is provided on the plunger head a radially projected boss 94, the radially outer end of which lies on a common cone with sealing surface 57' and cooperates with the projecting conical periphery 57 to engage the conical inner surface of the cap and center same coaxially with respect to the plunger and the collar.
  • the plunger and plunger head are both rotatable together with respect to the barrel and container cap 12 and will thus facilitate threading of the protective cap 86 onto the collar 70.
  • container cap 12 and the protective cap 86 may be preassembled as a unit as in Figure 1 and thereafter applied to a bottle or other liquid container in obvious manner.
  • the ball 22 of the foot valve will be seated by engagement with the lower end of the tubular probe 34 and thus will prevent upward movement of any of the container contents past the valve seat or into the plunger.
  • While possibly liquid may be permitted to enter the space between the plunger and its barrel through port or ports After the pump has been used, it will be seen that a certain amount of residual liquid will tend to remain in the hollow plunger barrel, and when this plunger is then depressed incident to application of the protective cap 86, this will tend to expel such residual liquid outwardly from the discharge head 29.
  • the conical surface 57' and the boss 94 will coact with the conical inner surface 92 of the cap tocenter the latter, and therotatably disposed plunger accurately guides the threaded skirt of the cap onto the threaded collar 70, while permitting free rotation of the cap during its application to the collar.
  • sealing surface 76 Because ofthe axial disposition of sealing surface 76, it will be apparent that this surface will coact with the skirt or ring 48 to provide an effective seal for preventing leakage between the pump plunger and barrel throughout a substantial range of axial positioning of these parts, thereby permitting substantial manufacturing tolerances.
  • seals 4876 and the seal provided by cooperation between the plunger and foot valve 18, will effectively prevent leakage, both between the plunger and barrel and through the plunger, in the depressed and immobilized position of the plunger. Moreover, such position may be maintained either through the protective cap 86 or through the frictional action of the seals 48-76 as heretofore mentioned.
  • the plunger piston'30' consists basically of the downwardly flaring skirt of resilient plastic material, as heretofore, and includes an annular collar 36' by which it is supported in the lower end of the plunger tube 28.
  • the probe 34 is closed at its lower end and is surrounded by and includes a flaring resilient piston skirt 33 for snug fluid tight reception in the upper portion of the valve cage -18' in the depressed position of the valve plunger.
  • the probe 34 is hollow and is provided with one or more outwardly opening ports 35, so that when the piston skirt or plug 33 is withdrawn upwardly from the valve cage and into the relatively greater diameter pump barrel, the fluid is free to pass upwardly around the plug 33 and into the plunger barrel through the ports 35 incident to reciprocation of the plunger.
  • the probes 34-34 coact with the foot valve, though in somewhat different manners, to arrest the upward flow of the fluid from the tube 14 when the valve plunger is fully depressed.
  • the probes 34 and 34' may be used during assembly of the foot valve to force the valve element or ball 22 downwardly into its cage past the detainers or detents 26 or 26'.
