Abstract: A seal to prevent fluid transfer using double diameters to provide a tighter seal is disclosed. The double diameter seal has a body with a first diameter containing an upper contact area and a second diameter forming a lower contact point. A notch extends into the body between the upper contact area and the lower contact point for a predetermined distance to form a transition point. In use, the first diameter is dimensioned to place a portion of the length of the upper contact area in sliding engagement adjacent to a length of the first surface. The second diameter dimensioned to place the lower contact point contacting an angled second surface of a valve.

Abstract: A liquid atomizer has an actuator, cap, piston unit and body. The actuator consists of an exterior casing, a locking block within the case, a nozzle and a piston receiving area that is in liquid communication with the nozzle. The cap has a pair of locking flanges separated by a locking channel dimensioned to receive the locking block as the actuator is depressed. A pair of stops, separated by a stop channel, prevent over rotation of the actuator. The piston unit has a piston whose proximal end has ribs and is dimensioned to be received within the ring containing piston receiving area in a juxtaposed manner. The dimensioning between the rings and the piston ribs permit disengagement, by the piston tilting under the rotational pressure enough to permit the actuator to lift slightly in order to clear the locking flanges.

Abstract: The invention relates to a manual, self-priming precompression spray pump, which employs a minimal number of different parts. The assembly includes a container for the liquid, a cap, a conventional spray nozzle unit, a valve member, a piston, a spring and a cylinder for housing the piston and providing a compression chamber. The valve upper end functions as an outlet valve and the valve lower end functions as an inlet valve. The spring is a compound spring and serves to force the valve outlet end into a constant sealing engagement with the interior of the piston, and to resist the compression movement of the piston. The cylinder for housing the piston includes an inner, concentric valve cylinder. The inner cylindrical wall has an axial length which terminates short of the chevron valve when said valve member and said piston are fully biased away from said inlet valve, whereby said chevron valve is in a position outside of said inner cylindrical wall.

Abstract: The venting, precompression pump sprayer, includes a pump cylinder and a pump piston mounted for reciprocation within the cylinder. The piston applies a compression force to the fluid within a variable volume pump chamber. The piston has a hollow stem which serves as a discharge passage. A discharge valve seat is provided at the outlet end of the hollow stem of the piston. A discharge valve member is mounted for reciprocation within the hollow stem of the piston. The discharge valve member has a surface which is in sealing engagement with the valve seat when the pump sprayer is in the discharge closed position. Pressure is applied by the user to the spray cap member in order to reciprocate the piston and the valve member against the bias of a return spring. The discharge valve member has an elongated rod like region which extends downwardly to a valve inlet. An annular ring seal is mounted for liquid tight, sliding engagement on the discharge valve member's elongated rod like region.
