  • Publication number: 20050279774
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6938803
    Abstract: A liquid jetting pump of the present invention is constructed such that an intra container liquid is sucked into a cylinder 3 through a suction valve 9 by moving a vertically movable member 4 up and down, and the intra cylinder liquid is jetted out of a nozzle 29 through a discharge valve 31 from a stem 28. A plurality of ribs 10 are protruded in a peripheral direction from a lower edge part within the cylinder. Engagement recessed portions 11 are formed in inner parts of the upper surfaces of the ribs. A lower edge of a coil spring 38 for biasing the vertically movable member 4 is secured to each of the engagement recessed portions 11, thereby permitting a flow of liquid on both sides of the lower edge of the spring internally externally.

  • Patent number: 6290145
    Abstract: A spray unit that is attached to an opening at a neck portion of a container for spraying a liquid material in the container, including: a cylinder unit composed of a large-diameter air cylinder and a small-diameter liquid cylinder having a valve hole and an operating member. The operating member is composed of a large-diameter cylindrical piston, a stem having a check valve, and a press-down head having a spray nozzle hole. The liquid is to be sprayed when the operating member is pressed down. When the operating member is pressed down, a liquid flow-out path and an air ejecting path come together via a small gap inside the spray nozzle hole. The spray unit further includes a flow rate control valve is composed of a valve seat provided at an upper face of a valve hole of the liquid cylinder and a valve body arranged above the valve seat to be seated on or released from the valve seat.

  • Patent number: 6119902
    Abstract: A liquid jet pump constructed to suck a liquid within a container on which the pump is mounted and jet the liquid out of a nozzle by pushing down the head of the pump. The nozzle is so formed so as to ascend forward obliquely, and is provided with a discharge valve housing a ball-like valve for closing a valve seat provided at an proximal edge within the nozzle. The valve member is movable both back and forth within the nozzle to keep the liquid from dripping of the nozzle.
