Abstract: The pump actuator head includes a base cap adapted for mounting on a container neck portion and provided with a central hole and a nozzle rotatably mounted on the base cap along an X-axis, and being movable between an operable or open position and an inoperable or closed position. The nozzle has a hollow cylinder centered along the X-axis, having a lower part inserted into the central hole of the base cap, and is provided with a guiding protrusion axially extending from the peripheral wall of the cylinder. The nozzle also has a dispensing nose extending from the cylinder and defining a dispensing channel. The base cap includes means provided in the inner face of the base cap for limiting or slowing the rotation of the nozzle. Finally, the guiding protrusion interferes with the means for limiting and for slowing down the rotation of the nozzle when turning the nozzle.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A spout valve assembly, for a pump dispenser including a discharge head, is located within an opening in the discharge head for permitting outletting of liquid product and includes a spout valve retained within the discharge head opening by a retainer. The spout valve includes a slit at a first end thereof and an orifice at a second opposite end thereof. The slit includes slit lips directly engageable with and disengageable from each other to respectively define slit closed and opened configurations. The spout valve is made of a material for permitting opening of the slit under pressure from the liquid product for thereby allowing the liquid product to be discharged out through the slit when in the slit opened configuration, and for otherwise permitting closing of the slit to prevent the liquid product from being discharged through the slit when in the slit closed configuration.

Abstract: A manually actuated pump sprayer adapted to be mounted on a container of liquid to be sprayed upon pump actuation is provided, and includes a plunger head having a side wall containing a discharge orifice. The plunger head may be reciprocable relative to the pump sprayer. An overcap may be independently rotatably disposed on the plunger head, and include a side wall overlying the discharge orifice in a condition of non-use. The side wall may include an opening disposable in alignment with the discharge orifice upon rotation of the overcap relative to the plunger head. A container closure may be provided for affixing the plunger head and the overcap relative to the container. The plunger head may be axially reciprocable relative to the container closure and may otherwise be locked relative to the container closure when in first and second orientations.
