Patent number: 7472806Abstract: A child resistant manually actuated dispensing pump device includes a rotatable nozzle cap having a flange which defines a notch and an outer shroud having a tab which is dimensioned to engage the notch and lie substantially flush with or recessed relative to the flange so that it cannot be grasped and pulled out of the notch. When the tab is engaged in the notch, the nozzle cap cannot be rotated. The shroud is made of material which is flexible enough that it can be bent away from the nozzle cap, thereby lifting the tab out of the notch and permitting rotation of the cap. A second embodiment replaces the notch with a pair of ledges located on opposite sides of the nozzle cap, and provides a second tab on the opposite side of the shroud so that each tab engages a ledge.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2005Date of Patent: January 6, 2009Assignee: MeadWestvaco Calmar, Inc.Inventor: Robert James Good

Patent number: 6752330Abstract: A liquid sprayer is provided. This liquid sprayer includes a bottle having an opening and a sprayer housing attached to the bottle. This sprayer housing includes an electrical motor, a voltage source for powering the electrical motor, a pump driven by the motor, a switch for completing an electrical circuit, a nozzle mechanism attached to the sprayer housing for spraying a liquid. The liquid sprayer also includes a deformable “pinched tube” mechanism which prevents liquid from flowing through the nozzle when the sprayer is not being used. The sprayer housing also includes a trigger movably connected to the sprayer housing for closing the switch, translating the piston and creating a leak-tight seal by squeezing the “pinched tube”.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2001Date of Patent: June 22, 2004Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Phillip Joseph DiMaggio, Robert James Good, Joseph Rae Krestine, Michael Joseph Murray, Alen David Streutker
