| 20080245824 | Efficient fluidic spray and other delivery multipurpose asymmetrical or symmetrical systems - Efficient fluidic trigger spray and push down delivery multipurpose asymmetrical or symmetrical systems are being described for delivering a multitude of chemical solutions such as any carpet, household, window, glass cleaner, degreasers, health and beauty products, some low viscosity fluids such as cooking sprays, and outdoor/indoor agricultural solutions just to name a few. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical delivery systems can be manufactured using any geometric shape and any base configuration. The efficiency arises from the fact that a protrusion chamber is created in one or more sides of the container and extending a flexible suction tube to communicate with the fluid contained in the protrusion chamber. Thus almost all of the fluid in the container will be delivered regardless of the position the container is operated. Hence, this invention provides means to deliver fluid from the container when the container is operated parallel to the floor, all the way to the upright position and continuing to the position parallel to the ceiling. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090008414 | Sure Shot - Included are embodiments for dispensing an agent. At least one embodiment of a system includes a reservoir having an upper portion and a lower portion, the reservoir configured to receive an agent, the reservoir including a sump, the sump positioned at the lower portion of the reservoir, the lower portion of reservoir shaped in a conical configuration such that the reservoir narrows substantially equally on all sides to the sump, such that the agent in the reservoir is funneled into the sump. Some embodiments include a dispensing portion configured to remove the agent from the reservoir, at least a portion of the dispensing portion being positioned in the sump, the dispensing portion configured to remove the agent from the sump for dispensing. Still some embodiments include a detachable base portion removably coupled to the reservoir, the detachable portion configured to receive at least a portion of the agent from the reservoir. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20100270334 | Spray bottle reservoir system - The spray bottle reservoir system includes a bottle having a neck and a body, the body defining a main chamber for containing fluid. A spray cap is detachably mounted to the neck. A vertical partition is disposed inside the body, separating the main chamber to form a dispensing reservoir. A dip tube extends from the spray cap to the bottom of the dispensing reservoir. The dispensing reservoir may be refilled from the remaining chamber, and due to the relative small volume of the dispensing reservoir and the viscosity of the fluid, the dispensing reservoir permits maximum consumption of the fluid in a wide range of spraying positions. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100288794 | CONTAINER AND ASSOCIATED DISPENSER FOR LIQUID MATERIALS - A container and associated dispenser for liquid is configured to dispense residual liquid from the container after the bulk of liquid has been dispensed from the container. This is accomplished by having a conical projection on the bottom of the container which causes residual liquid to flow into a gutter defined by the wall of the container and the surface of the conical projection. A dip-tube is connected to the dispenser and is rotatable in order to revolve the open free end of the dip-tube to access any circumferential location in the gutter in order to pick up residual liquid. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110101034 | FLUID DISPENSER CONTAINING A BAFFLE - A fluid dispenser and a mold used for manufacturing the fluid dispenser are disclosed. A baffle inside the fluid dispenser extends from an area on the bottom of the fluid dispenser toward a first side wall and away from a second opposite side wall forming an acute angle with the bottom. A gap between the baffle and the first side wall allows fluids to move freely from one side of the baffle to the other permitting emptying most of the residual fluid through a dip tube disposed into the bottom corner with the second side wall. The mold contains two cavities each disposed within a block configured to close over a molten plastic parison. Each cavity comprises a blade configured in a way that closing the mold produces the baffle inside the container. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110108580 | Pump - A container has a top having an opening for filling the container with a content. The container has a bottom having a general gradient, and a side surface intermediate the top and the bottom. The container has a collection reservoir disposed at a lowest part of the bottom, in which the general gradient of the bottom directs the content of the container to the collection reservoir. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110180568 | Spray-all spray bottle and method of assembly - The Spray-All Spray Bottle is a standard trigger-operated spray bottle with a unique base that allows the liquid to pool in the center so that most of the contents can be evacuated during normal use (except that which remains as a result of surface tension). | 07-28-2011 |
| 20120006855 | Liquid pump dispensing system for liquids having wide ranges of viscosities with no waste - A liquid pump dispensing system for dispensing liquids having a wide range of viscosities is described as incorporating a unified approach to determining the dimensions of selected elements of a collection area as a function of the viscosity range of the liquid being dispensed. Four illustrative liquid viscosity ranges are described leading to defining specific values for the physical dimensions of several key elements of the dispensing technique. The dispensing rate is thereby optimized for the full range of viscosities contemplated. An additional complementary feature of slope ranges formed into a bottom shelf feeding into the collection area further optimizes the flow rate and assures a virtually waste free liquid dispensing regimen. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120132676 | LIQUID DISPENSER - A liquid dispenser for dispensing liquid comprising: a bottle, where said bottle includes an opening and a base, where said base includes a concaved shape on the interior of the bottle; a pump, where said pump is secured within the opening; and a tubing extending downwardly into the bottle from the pump. The liquid dispenser may include a hand depressing pump or alternatively a spray type pump. For optimum dispensing, the tubing extends into the center of the concaved base. | 05-31-2012 |
| 20140001214 | METERED DOSING BOTTLE | 01-02-2014 |
| 20140217125 | SPRAY DISPENSER AND METHOD FOR USING - A spray dispenser. The spray dispenser has a spray mechanism and a bottle. The spray mechanism includes a sprayer and a siphon tube. The siphon tube defines a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the siphon tube is in fluid communication with the sprayer. The bottle defines an inverted catchment therein adjacent a wall of the bottle. The siphon tube defines a generally U-shaped portion therein proximal to the distal end of the siphon tube. The distal end of the siphon tube is positioned within the inverted catchment. There is also a spray product and a method for spraying a liquid formulation onto a surface. | 08-07-2014 |
