Abstract: A trigger sprayer includes an engine with a piston chamber and an outlet fluid passage, and a piston that slides within the piston chamber and defines an interior bellows chamber. The bellows component is movable in the interior bellows chamber between an uncompressed position in which a fluid volume in the interior bellows chamber is minimized and a compressed position in which the fluid volume is maximized. The trigger sprayer further includes a trigger lever that pivots between a neutral position and an actuated position using a pair of S-shaped trigger springs. Pivotal movement of the trigger lever pushes the piston vertically in the piston chamber to drive fluid from the piston chamber into the interior bellows chamber and move the bellows component from the uncompressed position to the compressed position. Relaxation of the bellows component drives fluid from the interior bellows chamber to the outlet fluid passage.

Abstract: Systems and methods for the injection/dispensing of fluid material in a volumetrically accurate and repeatable manner via an injection cell that interconnects two reservoirs of the fluid material. The injection cell has a normally closed dispensing valve that is opened for dispensing of the fluid material during a compression cycle, and closed during a return cycle. Opening and closing of the dispensing valve is effected using either or both of pressurized air and/or a motorized linkage. During the compression cycle, independent longitudinal displacements of a piston cylinder and a piston within the injection cell act to first open the dispensing valve and subsequently eject fluid material within the piston cylinder via the opened dispensing valve. The piston cylinder and piston are returned to an initial state that facilitates reloading of the injection cell from the reservoirs and closes the dispensing valve during a return cycle.
