DIRECTIONAL CAP FOR SPRAY DISPENSER Filed March :1, 1958 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 I I" I mm? I NV E NTOR. 75; (ZPZAA/ UiliEQ The present invention relates to spray applicators and it particularly relates to directional caps for spray applicators.
Although not limited thereto, the present invention will be described in its application to spray applicators which may be utilized for the application of cosmetic sprays such as to the hair or other parts of the body. However, it is to be understood that the invention has a much broader application to control spray applicators for use in applying sprays to a Wide variety of objects and in a Wide variety of applications.
In the use of spray applicators, quite frequently the spray not only is applied to the object to be covered or treated but is spread over a greater or less adjacentarea and into the air with wastage and undesirable application to parts of the body or to other articles which should not be treated or given a spray coating.
It is therefore among the objects of the present invention to provide a novel spray applicator, particularly designed for readily vaporized solvent sprays or aerosol sprays in which the volatilization of the solvent or gaseous or liquid ingredient may be so controlled as to give a predetermined limited area of deposition.
Particularly in connection with hair sprays it may be desired to apply the spray to one location of hair or to a limited portion of the scalp or hair and it is among the further objects of the present invention to provide a without difiiculty by the user thereof as to apply the spray to and against a predetermined portion of the head or hair to achieve the desired results without undue loss of spray into the surrounding air and without it being applied to adjacent areas.
Another object is to provide a special spray dispenser and particularly a directional cap or device therefor which will permit the sprayed material or liquid to be applied only to the actual portion of the body or lock of hair which is to be treated, preventing undue dispersion of the spray or liquid upon adjacent body areas and'also protecting the scalp from irritation and eliminating the possibility of liquid running upon the skin.
Still further objects and advantages will appear in the more detailed description set forth below, it being understood, however, that this more detailed description is given by way of illustration and explanation only and not by Way of limitation, since various changes therein may be made by those skilled in the .art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
In accomplishing the above objects it has been found most satisfactory according to one embodiment of the Q be utilized as a control element both' to allow ready actu- 'ation of the spray head and means to direct the spray so States Patent 6 ice , 2 as to have it desirably masked from certain places and directed onto other places.
In one form of the invention the spray cap has a transverse opening in one side of the top portion thereof which may be fitted on the spray nozzle and which may act when fitted onto the spray nozzle as a presser member while serving as a director.
In another form the cap head may be split so that it may be opened to control the spray while at the same time utilized to actuate the spray nozzle.
In still a further embodiment of the present invention the rotatable spray cap may be provided with a presser member to be utilized when rotated to press the spray head of the spray dispenser and direct the spray in a predetermined desired direction. 7
Although this directional cap has particular suitability in controlling the spray and area of spray application for hair treatments it is apparent that it also has a broader application tothe controlled application of mothproofing sprays, to predetermine portions of garments, or shoe lacquer or varnishing sprays to shoes, to soap or shaving cream sprays, to the faceof the user, of deodorant sprays to underarm or other body areas and even to the application of i'cings or creams to predetermined portions of foods, cakes, breads or the like.
in industrial uses, it has a desirable application to the application of lubricant to predetermined portions of a machine where lubrication is necessary, of paint to predetermined portions of a wall, object, room or floor which is to. be sprayed, ofwaxes to predetermined floor areas in connection with waxing of floors, of window cleaning compounds or window polishing compounds to predeterminedportions of windows of either square, rectangular or irregular shapes, of portions of automotive vehicles Where it is desired to apply the spray to certain portions of the body without affecting other portions of the body or the windows, etc.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination 'and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which fall within the scope of the claims hereunto appended.

Fig. 16 is a fragmentary front elevational "view. showing the outlet end of the cap of Fig. 15 in spray director position.
"Fig. 17 is a transverse sectional view upon the line 17'17 of Fig. 16 showing the cap of Fig. 15 in spray director position.
Fig. 18 is aside elevational view with the cap in sec- 'tion showing the means of applying the presser member to actuate the spray with the spray being directed by means of the cap.
Referring to the embodiment of Figs. 1 to 7 there is shown a can A having a cap B which may be used as a closure In Fig. 1 or for a spray director, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 6. The can itself has a spray nozzle C spring biased upwardly and pressed downwardly to release the spray through the nozzle opening D. The cap has a side opening E which fits upon the reciprocatory nozzle C. I p
As shown in Fig.4, when the cap is in solid line position the spray is notbeing created but when in dotted line depressed position thespray will be directed outwardly "asindicated at F by the open mouth G of the spray cap.
'Referringparticularly to Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, the can has a cylindrical portion 10 with a lower base bead 11 and an upper bead 12. The bead 12 connects to the frustro-conical head section 13 which terminates in'the cylindrical lip 14 against which the lower sealing periphery 15 of the cap B cooperates.
It will be noted that the spray nozzle C in Fig. 7 projects from a well 16 andit has a cylindrical portion 17 and a forwardly directed rib 18 which carries the nozzle portion D. I
The key opening E in the side of the cap is similarly shaped andhas a circular portion 19 and a key extension 20. The interior of the cap has an abutment portion 21 which is designed to contact and abut the top face 22 of "the'nozzle'member C, as indicated in Fig. 4, so that portion on the side ofthe'cap as indicated by the arrow 23 will depress the cap to dotted line position in Fig. 4 and actuate the spray.
The nozzle C will normally'fit into the small reduced dimension top or rear portion 24 of the cap leaving the expanding conical portion 25 and the wide mouth portion *G- to direct the spray.
The device of Figs. 1 to 7 is most satisfactory in providing a simple closure cap which may be of molded plastic or die cast metal or of other fabricated material which may serve bothasa closure cap and as an actuatorand spray director. It is shown as the closure cap in Fig. 1 and as a spray director in Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 6.
Referring to the alternativeembodiment of Figs. 8 to 13 there is shown a cap H to be applied to the can I which has'a key opening'K to be applied to the reciprocatory nozzle L and which is designed to actuate the nozzle L into producing a spray which is directed as indicated at M.
'The cap has an upper conical portion 35 which is split at 36 and has a hinge connection 37. From one side of the cap projects the fin 38 which has a ridged side 39 (see Fig. 13) said ridge extending down to the wide oblique shoulder 40 at the mouth 41 of the cap.
The other side of the cap has a projection 42. which carries the keyhole opening K and the upwardly projecting handle or finger contact member 43.
The spray nozzle L having the cylindrical. portion 44 and the forwardly projecting ridge or key portion 45 fits into the circular portion 46 and the key portion 47 of the opening K and the abutment 48 of the interior of the cap will press upon or contact the top of the reciprocatory nozzle L.
The nozzle L will fit into the rear small diameter portion 49 of the interior of the cap permitting the spray to pass first into the wider portion 51) and then through the orifice 51 formed by the web 52 where it passes into the wide mouth portion 41.
The resilient band 53 which may be of synthetic rubber or other plastic material fits in a groove around the mouth 41 and acts to hold the split sections together in contact along the line 36.
When in use as shown in Fig. 11 one finger 54 may press down upon the ridge face 39 of one of the split sections of the cap while the other finger 55 may contact the projecting portion 43 to control the amount of opening and the direction of the spray M as indicated in Fig. 11.
The lower sealing portion 56 at the -rim of the mouth of the cap fits alongside of the bead 57 at the top of the can and seals the can when thecap is used in covering or closure position as indicated in Fig. 9.
In the embodiment of Figs. 14 to 18 the can N has a reciprocatory spray nozzle P while the cap Q may be used in either closure position, as shown in Fig. 14, or in spray director position as shown in Figs. 15 to 18 The cap carries the reciprocatory actuator button R which may be'used to actuate the spring nozzle P to cause a spray to be directed outwardly in the direction of the the nozzle P, leaving a slot 72 (see Fig. 16) into which projects the nozzle portion 73 of the nozzle head P.
In the opposite side of the cap in the nipple 74 is positioned the projecting stem 75 of the press button R which carries the abutment member 76 to press down on the spray nozzle C. When this occurs, the spray will be directed outwardly as directed by the arrow S.
The beaded rim 77 of the can Nwill contact the inside mouth 78 of'the cap Q when the cap is used as a closure as indicated in Fig. 14.
It is thus apparent that the applicant has provided a simple, readily formed, readily manipulated combination cap actuator and spray director for sprays,particularly useful for application to a limited area to receive the spray application such as a lock of hair, but also havinga much wider application to the limited application of sprays to various selected areas to receive a spray whether on a part of the body, an object, a wall or the like.
While there has been herein described a preferred form of the invention, it should be understood that the same may'be altered in details and-in relative arrangement of parts within the scope of the appended claims.
