  • Patent number: 8448269
    Abstract: A bathing insert for use with a bathing space, the bathing insert comprising a body including first and second end walls, first and second side walls extending between the end walls, and a support wall connecting first edges of the end walls and the side walls. The walls define an open edge and an interior area of the body. A seat including a sit portion extending generally inward from the first end wall and a seatback portion extending from the support wall to the sit portion, wherein the sit portion and the seatback portion connect to define the seat. The body is positionable in a first orientation for use as a shower seat and a second orientation for use as a bathtub. When the body is in the first orientation, the open edge is positionable on a support surface, and when the body is in the second orientation, the support wall is positionable on the support surface such that the interior area is accessible by a user.

  • Patent number: 6213358
    Abstract: A plastic bottle for spraying liquid has a liquid chamber defined by a sidewall. The sidewall terminates in a neck having a neck opening. A tube integrally formed alongside the sidewall leads from the bottom of the liquid chamber up to a nozzle. A top end of the tube is inclined away from the neck, and a squeeze bulb is in liquid communication with the tube. By squeezing the squeeze bulb, liquid is drawn from the liquid chamber, through the tube, and out through a nozzle attached to the top end of the tube.

  • Patent number: 5638994
    Abstract: A bottle for spraying or dispensing liquids comprising a principal chamber, a siphon tube extending alongside the chamber and a separate trigger bulb connected to the top of the siphon tube. The siphon tube is also pinch molded so that a valve seat is formed therein. When the trigger bulb is decompressed, the liquid that is drawn up into the siphon tube cascades over into the trigger bulb. When the trigger bulb is fully primed, any pressure subsequently applied to the trigger bulb will cause the liquid to be sprayed out of the bottle.

  • Patent number: 5328061
    Abstract: A slide dispensing cap and dispensing stopper for a dispensing bottle which includes a one-way valve between the interior of the bottle and the cap so that air cannot enter into the bottle when product is dispensed through a tube because the valve closes to prevent product from passing through the one-way valve. A tube communicates with the stopper and in a dispensing position of the slide nozzle so that product can pass out through the nozzle. After dispensing the bottle is released and air can enter the bottle through the one-way valve.

  • Patent number: 5303851
    Abstract: A spray or dispensing bottle is preferably blow molded from plastic material which is squeezable, with a sufficient plastic memory to cause the plastic to return to its original shape after it is squeezed and relaxed. The bottle includes an integral tube which extends from the bottom of the bottle, upwardly to the top of the bottle. Along the route of this tube, an aneurism or bladder is formed to receive and hold fluid which is sucked up the tube when the bladder is squeezed. Check valves are provided for opening and closing the fluid path from the bottle to the bladder and out of a nozzle. Thus, the bladder may be repeatedly pressed to create a vacuum, causing it to fill, or if squeezed when full, to spray the fluid out of the bottle. In one embodiment, a lever arm is positioned over the bladder in order to increase the mechanical advantage and relieve the stress which results if fingers must be used to squeeze the bladder.
