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 dispensing system includes a liquid dispensing tap and an associated or integrated measuring cap/cup. The dispensing tap and cap/cup are configured such that the cap/cup is assembled with the tap prior to installation onto a container, and stays assembled with the tap during installation onto the container at the filling line, and which can later be removed for use and then reattached to the tap or container after use by the consumer.

Child resistant aerosol actuator

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.

The actuator includes a shroud adapted to be situated on an aerosol container over the stem and an actuation member mounted on and moveable within the shroud to depress the stem by the application of an external force applied to the top surface of the actuation member. The actuation member includes a nozzle and a conduit for connecting the stem and the nozzle. A hood is normally positioned to block the actuation member from being moved to depress the stem. A locking member normally intersects the path of movement of the hood to lock the hood in its blocking position. The locking member has two sections both of which must be simultaneously moved to a position remote from the path of hood movement such that the hood may be moved from its blocking position, allowing the actuation member to be moved to depress the stem.

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 manually operated sprayer for a container of liquid to be sprayed includes variable volume pump means having liquid inlet and outlet means for discharging the contents of the container. The sprayer further includes a control module having product and vent valves reciprocably disposed therein, the product and vent valves being simultaneously reciprocable by means of the manual actuator between valve open and valve closed positions. In the valve open position, the product and vent valves respectively prevent flow of product and air respectively into the liquid inlet means and into a vent passage in communication between atmosphere and an interior of the container, and in the vent closed position, the product and vent valves respectively enable flow of product and air respectively into the liquid inlet means and into the vent passage.

Discharge/vent module for power sprayer

A child resistant manually actuated dispensing pump device includes a rotatable nozzle cap having a flange which defines a notch and an outer shroud having a tab which is dimensioned to engage the notch and lie substantially flush with or recessed relative to the flange so that it cannot be grasped and pulled out of the notch. When the tab is engaged in the notch, the nozzle cap cannot be rotated. The shroud is made of material which is flexible enough that it can be bent away from the nozzle cap, thereby lifting the tab out of the notch and permitting rotation of the cap. A second embodiment replaces the notch with a pair of ledges located on opposite sides of the nozzle cap, and provides a second tab on the opposite side of the shroud so that each tab engages a ledge.
