Abstract: A timed spray dispenser for distributing a liquid deodorizer from an aerosol spray can, using a finger actuated spray valve, that incorporates a structural housing (22) with a radial cavity (28) of a size to accommodate the spray can. A lever arm (42) pivots on the housing and encompasses the spray valve on one end. An eccentric cam (56) engages the other end of the lever arm and raises the arm when the cam is rotated with a motor (62). A timer (68) electrically attached to the motor is employed when specific time duration and frequency is required by the dispenser. Height adjustment of the dispenser is achieved to accommodate various sizes of cans by separating the housing from the base (24) using posts (32) that slide into bores (36) in the housing and securing the adjustment using thumb screws (38). A second embodiment provides height adjustment using a fixed height housing and a sliding shelf (74).

Abstract: A one-piece self-draining container and method and apparatus for forming same. The container includes a body and a finish wall extending upwardly from a body opening. The finish wall surrounds a dispensing spout which extends above the top of the wall. A frustoconical web joins the finish wall and the dispensing spout to form a drain apron gutter channel having a relatively steeply inclined cone angle. A drain opening is defined adjacent the channel for draining fluid from the channel into the container body. A removable cap having a depending skirt defining a thread which mates with an internal thread on the container wall to thereby threadably engage and close the container. The method is performed on the type of extrusion-injection blow molding machine as generally disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,804,654 as modified in accordance with the invention to form the web wall in situ with a frustoconical configuration of uniform cross sectional thickness.
