A pump system may include a blown-in dip tube connected to a valve body and having a connection which may include an improved blown-in dip tube connector having one or more of a lip for sealing with a blown-in dip tube, a seal ring configured to mate with a blown-in dip tube and seal therewith, a dip tube lock for mating with a blown-in dip tube, or an o-ring for providing an improved seal with a blown-in dip tube.

Dip tube connectors and pump systems using the same

A pump system may include a blown-in clip tube connected to a valve body and having a connection which may include an improved blown-in clip tube connector having one or more of a lip for sealing with a blown-in clip tube, a seal ring configured to mate with a blown-in clip tube and seal therewith, a clip tube lock for mating with a blown-in clip tube, or an o-ring for providing an improved seal with a blown-in clip tube.

A pump system may include a blown-in dip tube connected to a valve body and having a connection which may include an improved blown-in dip tube connector having a swivel adaptor, or a rotatable connector, which creates a fluid path from a blown-in dip tube of a bottle to a trigger sprayer. The swivel adaptor, or rotatable connector, may also include a body or head which may be attached to a valve body, tube retainer, or valve retainer of a trigger sprayer.

A liquid spray pump comprising: &lsqb;a&rsqb; a jacket ( ), defining a longitudinal axis ( ), &lsqb;b&rsqb; a piston ( ), for being inserted, at least partially, in the jacket ( ), and adapted for being moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis ( ) along the jacket ( ), &lsqb;c&rsqb; at least one annular lip ( ), surrounding a section of the piston ( ) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis ( ), &lsqb;d&rsqb; a hollow internal space ( ) defined between the jacket ( ) and the piston ( ), and &lsqb;e&rsqb; at least one shoulder ( ) on the piston ( ) occupying at least in part the hollow internal space ( ).

Liquid atomizing pump

A manually actuated liquid pump sprayer, capable of being operated in both an upright position and in an inverted position, includes an adapter attached to its pump body to effect the upright and inverted spray, the adapter having first and second fluid passages extending from an adapter chamber in opposite directions for respectively inletting liquid from the container to the chamber in one of the upright and inverted positions, and being exposed to air in the container in the other such positions, the passages terminating within the chamber in opposing upright and inverted valve seats which are valved controlled by a single gravity shifting ball check valve.

Upright/inverted sprayer

A trigger actuator pump sprayer has a fixed portion at the rearward section of its pump body providing a hand positioner for supporting the pump sprayer when mounted to a container of liquid to be sprayed. Another portion of the rearward section of the pump body is open to facilitate manufacture of the pump body, and is closed by a hood having a fixed piston spring assembly external to the pump chamber for biasing the piston outwardly of its bore.

Trigger sprayer having rear hood supporting a return spring

A dispenser has its closure cap non-removably affixed to a cylindrical attaching portion of its dispenser body by a snap-fit engagement between a folded lower end section of the attaching portion and the closure or a plug located within the closure and in engagement with the attaching portion. The folded lower end section presents an end edge facing outwardly of the closure which engages an inwardly facing end wall of the closure or of the plug.
