Abstract: A firearm safety device invention for handguns is disclosed. The safety device (10) prevents accidental firing of a gun by children, but is easily removable by an adult in 5 to 10 seconds even in pitch darkness. The safety device includes a lock sleeve (26) with an expandable end plug (30) which is inserted through the muzzle (16) of a gun barrel (14). With the end plug positioned in the firing chamber, a lock rod (24) is inserted into the lock sleeve to force expansion of the linear slotted (32) end plug sufficiently to prevent the safety device from being removed from the barrel. Withdrawal of the lock rod from the lock sleeve to allow removal of the safety device is prevented by a knurled cap (22) which is threadedly attached to a knurled enlarged end portion (28) of the lock sleeve. Since the safety device is able to rotate freely in its assembled position in the gun, any attempt to unscrew the knurled cap without holding the enlarged end portion of the lock sleeve stationary will be unsuccessful.

Abstract: A container for storing a hazardous product, a lock ring assembled into a neck groove portion of the container and a safety closure threaded over the container to seal the container and encircle the lock ring. An extending tab, on the bottom of the lock ring, is exposed and manually held stationary during the closure removal procedure. The neck groove portion and a mating inside peripheral wall of the lock ring both have equal axis offsets from a central axis of the mating threads on the closure and the container. These offset axes are positioned in alignment to permit closure removal when the extending tab of the lock ring is in contact with an alignment shoulder in the neck groove portion of the container. Serrations on the outside serrated surface of the lock ring and the inside serrated surface of the closure are concentric with the threads on the closure and the container when the offset axes are in alignment.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a predetermined quantity of the liquid contents of a container. The container has a neck defining a discharge opening for dispensing contents and a chamber in the neck having an inner end and an outer end adjacent the discharge opening. A piston assembly is mounted in the chamber moveable axially therein to dispense premeasured quantities of the liquid. The piston assembly includes a first piston having a predetermined small clearance with the chamber wall forming a meniscus seal with the chamber whereby the surface tension of the liquid prevents passage of liquid past the piston until the piston extends beyond the outer end of the chamber. A valve for sealing the inner end of the chamber is connected to the piston by a shaft and spaced at a fixed distance therefrom to define the predetermined volume of liquid when the valve seats on a valve seat at the inner end of the chamber.

Abstract: A dispenser for liquids comprising two compartments with a closure to allow filling of the container by the product manufacturer and refilling of the container, as desired, by the purchaser or user of the product. The reservoir compartment of the container, having a relatively large volume, is the main structural part of the container which keeps the container standing and also supports the smaller volume dispensing compartment which extends outwardly from the top portion of the container. The dispenser compartment has an attached vertically positioned dispenser containing; a push button, a small spring, a rod and a rod guide. The push button, when pressed, initiates fluid flow from the reservoir compartment. When the pressure on the bottom is released, the return spring, which is coiled around the upper portion of the rod and compressed between the underside of the push button and the upper end of the guide, forces the push button to its closed position.

Abstract: A container for storing a hazardous product, a lock ring and a safety closure placed over the lock ring and threaded to the container. An extending tab portion of the lock ring extends from the bottom of an annular slot in the neck portion of the container. An extending neck portion of the container and a peripheral wall of the lock ring positioned over it, both have an offset axis displaced about the same distance from a central axis of the mating threads on the closure and the container. These offset axes are positioned in alignment to permit closure removal when an alignment bar portion of lock ring is in contact with a shoulder of the annular slot in the neck portion of the container. Serrations on the outside serrated surface of the lock ring and the inside serrated surface of the closure, are concentric with the threads on the closure and the container when the offset axes are in alignment.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a predetermined quantity of the contents of a container, including a container for the contents. The container has a base to locate the container in an upright position and has a generally upwardly facing opening. The device also includes a chamber on the container which has a first end in communication with the opening and a second end open to dispense contents from the chamber when the container is moved from an upright position to cause the contents to enter the chamber. Also, the device is provided with a valve spool mounted inside the chamber for regulating the quantity of contents flowing through the opening into the chamber. The valve spool includes a piston for leading the flow of contents from the first end of the chamber to the second end. The valve spool further includes a valve for closing the opening at the first end after the chamber receives the predetermined quantity.

An extending tab on the top of the cap, extending through a hole in the center of the top of the closure, is manually held stationary during removal of the closure. An extending neck portion of the container and a peripheral wall of the cap, positioned over the extending neck portion, both have an offset axis displaced about the same distance from a central axis of the mating threads on the closure and the container. The offset axes of the container and the cap are positioned in alignment to permit closure removal when an alignment lug, on the outside of the extending neck portion of the container, is in contact with a shoulder of an annular slot on the inside of the peripheral wall of the cap.

Abstract: An adjustable fluid control valve utilizes a fluid flow controlling piston in cooperation with a rotatable cap which causes fluid pressure to move the piston to any desired nozzle fluid flow control setting from closed to full open. The piston contains a fluid stream deflector which moves in cooperation with a manually adjusted knob to independently vary the nozzle fluid stream pattern to any desired adjustment from fine spray to straight stream. The simple, easy and quick adjusting cap and knob allows the fluid control valve operator to independently select and change fluid flow rates and nozzle spray patterns as desired.

Abstract: A high pressure adjustable nozzle utilizes a vented piston valve in cooperation with a low torque hand adjusting cam element and control pin to easily open and close the nozzle orifice. Fluidic line pressure is applied to the fore and aft section of the piston valve to create forces which can adjustably regulate the flow of the nozzle from an infinitely variable full open valve position to a full closed valve position.
