Publication number: 20050279774Abstract: An accumulator-type liquid sprayer includes a piston arranged in a cylinder, a piston guide extending through a passage extending therethrough in an axial direction of the piston, so as to be engageable with, and disengageable from the piston, cooperating with the piston and the cylinder to form a space region for sucking and pressurizing a liquid, a check valve for opening a suction port of the cylinder during suction of the liquid, and a hollow stem slidably fitted with an outer side of the piston in a liquid-tight manner and engaging with an end portion of the piston guide. A first resilient member urges the piston guide against the piston for maintaining a closed state of the passage in the piston, and a second resilient member urges the piston against the piston guide for adjusting a spraying pressure of the liquid.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2002Publication date: December 22, 2005Applicant: YOSHINO KOGYOSHO COInventors: Katsuhito Kuwahara, Takayuki Goto

Patent number: 6502722Abstract: A synthetic resin tube container is formed to have a shortened neck portion and to eliminate an overlapping double wall in a structure for mounting a cap to the neck portion. The tube container comprises a container body and a cover plate. The container body has a trunk portion from which the neck portion is extending upwardly through an inward flanged wall. The upper surface of the neck portion is closed by a top wall with a discharge port. A fitting recessed groove is formed circumferentially on the inward flanged wall. The cover plate is connected via a hinge to an insert cylinder which is fitted into the fitting recessed groove.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2001Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Yoshino Kogyosho Co., Ltd.Inventors: Masaru Shimizu, Tatsuhara Ida, Takao Kishi, Shigeo Iizuka, Kazuaki Nose, Yoshiyuki Kakuta, Takayuki Goto, Hiroyuki Nakamura, Haruo Tsuchida, Katsuhito Kuwahara
