Patent number: 10897987Abstract: A dual seal for a liquid applicator for applying a liquid from a container. The dual seal comprises a container having an open end with a container fastener. A closure having a closure fastener engages with the container fastener for forming a first seal between the closure and the liquid container. A rod extends from the closure for supporting a liquid applicator. A circumferential projection ends from a rod. A resilient partially conical wiper extends from the container for sealing with the circumferential projection of the rod for forming a second seal between the closure and the liquid container. The resilient partially conical wiper engages the liquid applicator upon removal of the liquid applicator from the container for removing excess liquid from the liquid applicator.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Flocon Inc.Inventors: Stephan M Ballot, Robert D Forschler

Patent number: 10576776Abstract: A retractable liquid dispenser device comprising an outer body having a retractable mechanism slidably supporting a liquid dispenser. The liquid dispenser has a supply reservoir and a discharge reservoir with a reservoir valve disposed therebetween. A retractable valve is located in proximity to an open first end of the outer body. A first depression of the retractable actuator opens the retractable valve and moves the liquid dispenser into the extended position for enabling a depression of a distal end of the liquid applicator to open the dispensing valve to permit liquid to flow from the supply reservoir into the dispensing reservoir to dispense the applicator liquid from the distal end of the liquid applicator. A second depression of the retractable actuator moves the liquid dispenser into the retracted position and closes the retractable valve to enclose the distal end of the liquid applicator within the outer body.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Flocon, IncInventors: Stephan M Ballot, Robert D Forschler, Fred M Ekstrom

Publication number: 20180056706Abstract: An improved retractable liquid dispenser device comprises an outer body having an internal channel communicating with an open first end. A liquid dispenser includes a supply reservoir and a discharge reservoir with a valve disposed therebetween. A retractable mechanism slidably supports the liquid dispenser within the outer body. A retractable valve is located in proximity to the open first end of the outer body. A first depression of the retractable actuator opens the retractable valve and moves the liquid dispenser into the extended position for enabling a depression of the distal end of the liquid applicator to open the dispensing valve to permit liquid to flow from the supply reservoir into the dispensing reservoir to dispense the applicator liquid from the distal end of the liquid applicator. A second depression of the retractable actuator moves the liquid dispenser into the retracted position and closes the retractable valve to enclose the distal end of the liquid applicator within the outer body.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2017Publication date: March 1, 2018Inventors: Stephan M Ballot, Robert D.

Patent number: 9764588Abstract: A liquid applicator device for dispensing an applicator liquid from an applicator liquid container. The liquid applicator device comprises a closure having an internal passageway for sealing with the applicator liquid container. A dispensing mechanism is disposed in the internal passageway of the closure. An applicator located in the passageway engaging with the valve element for enabling a depression of the applicator to displace the valve element from the sealing surface to enable the flow of the applicator liquid from the liquid container into the applicator. A capture extends from the valve element for grasping the applicator for inhibiting removal of the applicator from the passageway.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: Flocon Inc.Inventors: Stephan M Ballot, Robert D Forschler

Patent number: 4469120Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid pressure and signal controller (60) that is adapted to regulate a fluid pressure regulator (16) by means of rotation of a cam (24) in response to rotation of a shaft. The controller is additionally provided with means for generating signals at one or more predetermined positions on the cam by movement of an output member (48) that is in contact with a profiled surface (40, 40') of a body member (38) which in turn is caused to move in response to movement of a cam follower (42) that is in contact relationship with the cam. Means are provided such as threads (51) are provided for adjusting the rotative position of the body member with respect to the position of the cam follower to account for any change in the initial position of the cam member and to enable more than one of the signal generation means to be positioned at different locations about the cam.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1982Date of Patent: September 4, 1984Assignee: Eaton CorporationInventors: Patrick J. Anderson, Robert D. Forschler
