- An annular fillet 26 surrounds the base of the cylindrical surface 24 and cooperates with the surface 24 to expand the neck 12 of the container radially when the housing 16 is threaded onto the neck thereby forming a radial pressure water-tight seal 'therebetween.
- the hub portion 22 of the housing includes a downwardly projecting guide tube 28 which defines a cylindrical bore 29 having an upper end surrounded by frusto-conical surface or valve seat 31.
- the outer surface of the guide tube 28 tapers or converges inwardly so that the wall thickness progressively decreases toward the lower end of the guide tube 28.
- a tubular molded plastic valve member includes an upper cylindrical portion 36 which is slidably received within the bore 29 and which is integrally connected to a lower spout portion 37 of reduced diameter by an annular flange portion 38.
- An axially extending fiat internal wall 39 separates the interior of the valve member 35 into a liquid passage 40 and an air passage 42.
- the upper portions of the passages 40 and 42 are substantially larger in cross-sectional area than the lower portions of the passages, and each passage converges in the area defined by a tapered inner surface 43.
- the flange portion 38 projects outwardly and then upwardly to define an annular cavity 44 and to provide an annular fillet 46.
- a recess 48 (FIG. 3) is formed within the upper cylindrical portion 36 of the valve member 35, and a slot 49 extends axially or downwardly from the recess 48.
- a set of notches 51 extend from the recess 48 to the inner wall 39, and an air vent port or opening (FIG. 4) is formed within the upper portion 36 of the valve member 35 for the air passage 42.
- a slot 52 (FIG. 3) is also provided within the cylindrical portion 36 directly above the opening 50.
- a plug member 55 is inserted into the end of the upper portion 36 of the valve member 35 and etfectively covers the upper or inner axial ends of the passages 40 and 42.
- the plug member 55 has an axially extending slot '57 which receives the inner wall 39 and has circumferentially spaced lugs 58 and 59 which project into the notches 51 and slot 52, respectively.
- a sloping flat surface 61 is formed on the plug member 55 and cooperates with the notch 51 to define a large inlet opening 62 for the liquid passage 40.
- a circumferential external groove 63 is formed within the plug member 55 and receives a resilient O-ring 64.
- a compression coil spring extends between the hub portion of the housing 16 and the flange portion 38 of the valve member 35 in surrounding relationship with the guide tube 28 of the valve member 35 and urges the valve member 35 outwardly or downwardly to a closed position (FIG. 2) where the O-ring 64 engages the annular seat 31 to form a water and air tight closure for the container 10.
- the lower spout portion 38 of the valve member 35 is inserted into the cell cavity 76 until the upwardly projecting annular boss 78 engages the lower surface of the flange portion 38 of the valve member 35.
- Downward pressure on the container 10 causes the valve member 35 to move axially to its open position (FIG. 4) where water flows from the container 10 through the inlet opening 62 and downwardly through the liquid passage 40 into the battery cell.
- a liquid dispensing device constructed in accordance with the invention provides desirable features and advantages.
- the enlarged upper portion of the liquid passage 40 aids in providing a smooth nonturbulent flow of Water through the liquid passage 40 into the battery 75.
- the large size of the liquid inlet opening 62 and its generally higher location relative to the air vent opening 50 aids in providing a smooth non-turbulent flow of water by assuring that water rapidly enters the passage 40 before the air passage 42 is vented into the container through the air vent opening 50.
- valve member 35 also provides another important advantage. That is, when the valve member is molded of a thermoplastic material, the mold core members which form the passages 40 and 42 can each be supported from both ends and does not have to be supported entirely from one end as is necessary in molding the valve members disclosed in the above patents.
