Abstract: A tank sprayer assembly includes a tank component and a subassembly, the tank component having a neck that defines a first access opening. The subassembly includes a sprayer component and a packaging container, the packaging container defining a cavity and having a lower wall defining a second access opening. The sprayer component includes a cap and a pump attached to the cap, the cap and the neck being configured to threadingly engage each other. The tank sprayer is positionable in an assembled configuration and disassembled configuration. In the assembled configuration, the cap is aligned with the second access opening, the neck is extended through the second access opening into the cavity, and the neck and the cap are threadingly engaged to secure the sprayer component to the tank component. In the disassembled configuration, the cap is aligned with the second access opening and the neck is spaced apart from the cavity.

Abstract: A pressurized tank sprayer includes a base tank including a neck and a mouth. A lid having a top portion and a depending skirt is positioned upon the tank. Threads are provided on the neck of the tank and engage threads on the depending skirt of the lid in order to secure the lid to the tank. The threads include locking features that prevent the lid from becoming forcibly detached from the tank during removal of the lid if excess pressure remains in the tank. An annular seal is seated in the lid and provides a seal between the tank and the lid. The annular seal includes an annular sealing surface and a concave interior surface. The annular sealing surface contacts the interior surface of the tank while the concave interior surface is exposed to the interior of the tank.

Abstract: A water timer system includes a base assembly and an input and display module. The base assembly includes (i) a conduit structure defining an inlet, an outlet, and a passage extending therebetween, (ii) a first housing defining a first chamber, (iii) a motor located within the first chamber and having an output member, (iv) a gear set located within the first chamber, (v) a valve member movable between a first valve position in which the valve member is positioned to prevent water flow through the passage and a second valve position in which the valve member is positioned to enable water flow through the passage, wherein movement of the gear set causes the valve member to move between the first valve position and the second valve position, and (vi) a receptacle structure defining a first aperture and a second aperture.

Abstract: A tank sprayer includes a tank configured to receive fluid through an opening in the tank, a removable cap covering the opening in the tank, and a removable pump. The removable cap includes a first handle extending outwardly from a first side of the cap, a second handle extending outwardly from a second side of the cap opposite the first side, and a funnel provided between the first handle and the second handle. The funnel has a substantially conical sidewall and a drain leading to the opening in the tank. The removable pump engages the drain of the cap, wherein the pump is operable to advance air into the tank to pressurize the tank.

Abstract: A spray pump includes a tank configured to receive fluid through an opening in the tank, and a removable cap covering the opening in the tank. Attached to the cap is a first handle extending outwardly from a first side of the cap, a second handle extending outwardly from a second side of the cap opposite the first side. The spray pump further includes a removable pump operable to advance air into the tank to pressurize the tank. To stabilize the spray pump during the pressurization process, the tank includes a base portion having a first lateral foot contact portion extending outward from a first side of the tank, and a second lateral foot contact portion extending outward from a second side of the tank opposite the first side.

Abstract: A tank sprayer includes a tank having an opening and a cup configured to move between a first position and a second position. The cup is configured to retain a quantity of liquid when the cup is in the first position and is configured to pour the quantity of liquid into the tank when the cup is in the second position. A removable barrier covers the opening in the tank, wherein the cup is blocked from moving from the first position to the second position when the barrier covers the opening in the tank. The cup is allowed to move from the first position to the second position when the barrier does not cover the opening in the tank.
