The invention is a liquid applicator having an integral brush means connected to a container for the liquid by a variable flow resistance liquid flow passage. The applicator has a movable sleeve which surrounds the brush and engages the cap to seal the brush in the environment of the liquid.

Coating applicator with rotatable flow control

A product dispenser for viscous products is described comprising a tubular container, a liquid pump dispenser, and a take-up piston which advances towards the pump dispenser as product is dispensed therethrough from the container. The take-up piston has a central depression to accommodate the lower portions of the housing of the pump dispenser when the piston reaches its uppermost location when the container is nearly fully evacuated of product. Transverse slots cut downwardly in the upper surface of the piston extend radially outwardly from the central depression to the sides of the piston to provide a means to bleed or vent off unwanted air entrapped in product which lies in the central depression.

Viscous product dispenser

A spray head is disclosed having an aligned fluid conduit leading respectively to a source of pressurized water and a spray outlet. A rotatable, vertically movable valve element lies in a suitable bore in the spray head between the conduits. The valve has a horizontal conduit therethrough which merges with a vertical conduit adapted to convey liquid from a container to which the spray head is connected. A frangible locking collar lies between the head of the valve and the upper surface of the spray head holding the valve from either rotational or vertical movement towards the container. Breaking and removal of the locking collar allows for 90.degree. rotation of the valve to unseat inwardly from flange carried by the valve body from inwardly projecting retaining flanges carried by the spray head body thereby allowing for downward movement of the valve to puncture a seal over the container holding the liquid. This downward movement also brings the conduit in the valve into the same plane as the two conduits in the spray head. Rotation of the valve 90.degree. back to its original orientation aligns and interconnects all the conduits making the system ready for use upon activation of the source of pressurized water.
