  • Patent number: 5857591
    Abstract: Simultaneous pump dispenser of the trigger-sprayer type has a single container with separate liquid compartments. Side-by-side main cylinders in the dispenser body have vent cylinders there-adjacent. Pistons in all cylinders are worked together by a piston/nozzle assembly separately to pump the liquids and vent the containers. A manifold in the top of the container connects supply tubes and vents in the compartments to the risers and vent passageways for the respective main and vent cylinders. The discharge may be separate spray orifices, a single spray orifice combining the liquids or a single foaming orifice.

  • Patent number: 4869119
    Abstract: A detector head can assume two positions selectively on a mount which is in turn fixed with adjustable orientation on the cover of the casing. Two and the same perpendicular channels in the head, and two and the same perpendicular tapped holes in the mount are occupied by two screws fixing the head on the mount in the two positions of the head on the mount. The channels extend along two edges of the head without obstructing the space available inside. They converge towards an edge along which the mount extends in a very compact form. The two perpendicular screws provide a strong and compact connection between the head and the mount.
