  • Patent number: 5332157
    Abstract: A fluid-dispensing device which selectively draws fluid out from at least two containers or fluid chambers, mixes the fluids in a desired concentration or ratio and expels the mixture of fluids out a nozzle. The dispensing device may be equipped with a mechanism for variably controlling the ratio of the fluids being mixed. The containers may be bottles connectable to the fluid-dispensing device and selectively detachable for refilling with fluid or exchanging one of the containers with another container having an alternate fluid. The bottles include mating elements to permit interconnection of the bottles as well as venting and spill prevention mechanisms.

  • Patent number: 5152461
    Abstract: A dispensing device or trigger sprayer which selectively draws fluid out from at least two containers, mixes the fluids in a desired concentration or ratio and expels the mixture of fluids out a nozzle. The trigger sprayer is equipped with a metering device for variably controlling the ratio of the fluids being mixed. The containers or bottles connected to the trigger sprayer are selectively detachable for refilling a container with fluid or exchanging one of the containers with another container having an alternate fluid.

  • Patent number: 4886212
    Abstract: A spraying device (10) includes a compound fourway rotatable control valve (30), an additive fluid control disc member (84) and a spray selector disc member (104), whereby a primary fluid, such as water, and an additive fluid, such as detergent, can be sprayed or dispensed in various spray patterns separately, or as a mixture having selectively variable concentrations of the additive fluid in the primary fluid. The compound fourway rotatable valve 30 is movable from an inoperative "OFF" position into first, second and third "WATER RINSE", "SOAP-AND-WATER" and "SUDS ONLY" operative positions. The control disc member (84) includes a plurality of orifices (86) of various diameters for controlling the amount of additive fluid dispensed into the primary fluid from a resilient bladder (16) containing the additive fluid as the bladder is collapsed in response to external pressure thereon by the primary fluid.

  • Patent number: 4858830
    Abstract: A spraying device comprising a spray tube having a fluid entrance end connectable to a primary fluid source, and a fluid exit end upon which an additive fluid dispenser is removably mounted. The additive fluid dispenser, having a chamber for holding additive fluid and a mixing chamber, is coupled to the fluid exit end of the spray tube in coaxial alignment with the direction of flow of primary fluid through the spray tube, causing opening of a valve mechanism in the fluid dispenser. The additive fluid then is metered into the primary fluid flowing through the dispenser, by diverting a portion of the primary fluid flow against a movable piston on a piston guide member-primary fluid conduit, to cause flow of the additive fluid through the valve mechanism. The spray tube may be of elongated telescoping construction, or of nontelescoping construction, and may include a control valve.

  • Patent number: 4422666
    Abstract: A vehicle suspension system comprises a combination of cantilevered spring members which extend in opposite directions across the front and rear ends of the vehicle and are supported between upper and lower bearing members which are spaced to regulate the degree of resistance to roll or cornering loads both at the front and rear end suspensions. Novel and improved A-frame assemblies with toe and camber adjustments are provided at the front end of the system, and outboard extensions are provided at the rear end to increase the effective span or extension of the spring members in countering any tendency of the vehicle to roll.
