  • Patent number: 5465880
    Abstract: The present invention is a continuous action spray dispenser for spraying liquid material therefrom. It includes a main housing with a housing outlet and a housing inlet, adapted to receive a pumping rod and having a connecting mechanism for connection to a container. It also includes a pumping rod which is at least partially located within the main housing so as to be vertically reciprocally movable therein. The rod has a predetermined shape, volume and displacement with a first, upward position and a second, downward position and includes a valve seat and one-way valve which permits liquid material to pass therethrough in a relative direction toward the outlet, but not toward the inlet. There is also an inlet valve seat and valve connected to the inlet of the main housing and arranged so as to permit flow of fluid material into, but not out of, the main housing inlet. There is a top housing connected to the upper end of the main housing adapted for reciprocal movement with an activator.

  • Patent number: 5402900
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a child resistant snap cap container device which includes a container, a collar ring, a snap cap and a spring. The container has a neck with a lower retainer bead and an upper retainer bead thereon and has at least one stop located below the lower retainer bead and at least one derailer lift located above the lower retainer. The collar ring is fitted onto the neck and has undercut ledges located on its inside so as to fit under the lower retainer bead of the neck and in horizontal alignment with the stop(s). The snap cap has a snap lip and has derailers located on its inside wall. It is hinged to the collar ring. The cap is adapted to fit onto the neck with the derailers being located below the upper retainer bead. There is at least one spring located between the ring and the shoulder of the container which biases the ring upwardly such that the container cannot be opened merely by rotation but must be pushed down and rotated to open.
