Definitions
- the present invention relates to a portable liquid dispensing device.
- the present invention further relates to a dispensing device equipped with a concealable nozzle which is concealed when not in use and then exposed when it is desirable to spray a liquid such as an oral care product.
- the liquid dispensing device may be provided with an optional key holder.
- a portable liquid dispensing device is a desirable product for consumers.
- the device can be used to dispense a variety of sprayable liquids including, but not limited to, oral care products such as breath fresheners, repellants (e.g., mace, pepper spray), personal products such as sun tan lotion deicers and the like.
- Such devices may be carried in a pocket, purse or the like.
- a portable liquid dispensing device may be disadvantageous if liquid is prematurely or accidentally dispensed such as while the device is in a pocket or purse.
- One way of addressing this problem is to provide a locking mechanism for the nozzle of the device.
- the locking mechanism when locked, prevents accidental contact with a pump assembly (that is used to release liquid from the nozzle). While such a system cam prevent unwanted discharge of the liquid, consumers may find the locking mechanism difficult to operate and/or forget to engage the locking mechanism while the liquid dispensing device is not in use.
- a liquid dispensing device with an assembly for selectively spraying a liquid such as an oral care product such as oral care products, a breath freshener, repellant (e.g. mace, pepper spray), personal products such as sun screen, deicer and the like and which provides an easily engageable mechanism for preventing accidental spraying of the liquid.
- a liquid dispensing device would provide an added convenience to the consumer and enable use of a liquid product such as a breath freshener in an easily accessible and convenient manner without the disadvantages or accidental discharge of the liquid.
- liquid dispensing device with a liquid dispensing assembly in which the dispensing assembly is protected from accidental discharge so that the user has complete control over when the liquid is dispensed from the liquid dispensing assembly. It would also be desirable to provide the liquid dispensing device with an assembly for holding keys or other portable items. Such a device would provide an added convenience to the consumer.

- Liquid is drawn out of container 390 and sprayed through nozzle 384.
- the liquid spray passes through aperture 358 and aperture 318 and toward the target desired by the user (e.g., a user's mouth).
- pump 380 Upon release of pressure by the user's finger, pump 380 returns to position shown in FIGURE 13 due to a spring provided in pump (not shown) and spring 401.
- the user will depress button 350 approximately 0.1 to 0.2 inches from the first position shown in FIGURE 13 to the second position shown in FIGURE 13A, and the user will depress button 350 approximately 0.1 to 0.2 inches from the second position shown in FIGURE 13A to the third position shown in FIGURE 13B.
- the nozzle and button aperture may be fixed with respect to each other (i.e., always in alignment) and the user activation may cause alignment then with the cover aperture.
- the button may be omitted and rather, the nozzle may move into and out of alignment solely with the aperture provided in the cover.
- a user may partially actuate or press button 350 without causing a corresponding activation of pump 380.
- This is particularly advantageous to help protect against accidentally dispensing liquid. For example, providing an amount of "play" between button 350 and pump 380 will allow device 300 to accept a certain amount of bumping prior to dispensing liquid. This in combination with cover portion 316 helping guard or protect button 350, device 300 increases the resistance to accidental dispensing of liquid which was not intended by a user.
- device 300 provides a configuration that assists a user in determining the proper orientation or direction to point device 300.
- the tapering, sloping configuration of button 350 along with the larger rear portion of opening 320 helps to provide a user with a more comfortable, ergonomic fit to activate device 300.
- the user is provided with tactile feedback when they have inserted their finger into opening 320 in the wrong direction because of the sharper edges and less comfortable feel due to the button configuration.
- device 300 provides protection or coverage of nozzle 384 against dirt and debris without requiring a removable cap or other protective structure.
- Nozzle 384 (as shown in FIGURE 13) is generally covered or protected against dirt and debris by being out of alignment with aperture 358 and/or aperture 318.
- Nozzle 384 is generally covered except for a short period while being activated by a user. Upon release, the nozzle is once again covered.
- the configuration of device 300 provides protection against dirt and debris (such as may be in a pocket or purse), does not require additional moveable/removable parts, while still providing the user with easy use and operation.
- device 300 advantageously provides a small, convenient, easy to use package for dispensing liquids, powders or other materials.
- device 300 is approximately 2-5 inches long, 1-3 inches wide and 0.5-1.5 inches thick. According to another particularly preferred embodiment, device is 3.1 inches long, 1.25 inches wide and 0.675 inches thick. Device 300 fits easily in a user's hand, is easily manipulated, but still provides a small, portable package. It is also important to note that the construction and arrangement of the elements of the devices as shown in the preferred and other exemplary embodiments is illustrative only.
