Abstract: This invention relates to a trigger sprayer dispenser which can be used to dispense liquids in multidirections. The present invention incorporates a mechanism in a conventional trigger sprayer to allow the sprayer to be used in an inverted position without the dispenser contents leaking through a sprayer vent orifice. The mechanism comprises a by pass chamber in communication with the chamber of the dip tube. The by pass chamber then creates an auxiliary fluid path to the dip tube fluid path when the dispenser is inverted. When the dispenser is inverted, the fluid remaining in the dip tube acts as a fluid lock thereby preventing internal dispenser air from escaping out from the dip tube into the trigger sprayer. The by pass mechanism therefore, also allows for more efficient evacuation of the dispenser contents.

Abstract: A dual orifice dispensing closure comprises a body with first and second orifices therein, the orifices being of different sizes. Lid members are hinged to the body such that plugs on the lids may be selectively positioned in or removed from orifices in the closure. A hook-shaped tab provides an interengagement between the lid members so that raising the lid member to uncover the larger of the plugged orifices will at the same time lift the other lid member which has a plug closing the smaller orifice. Accordingly, both orifices are open so that the smaller orifice can providing a venting function upon dispensing of liquid from the larger orifice.

Abstract: A dispensing apparatus is disclosed having a hollow wall member closed at one end with a dispensing opening at the other end. A ledge is mounted within the hollow having an aperture therethrough to permit precise pouring through the aperture but with the opening otherwise permitting dispensing of large amounts. Indicia is provided within the hollow to measure a predetermined amount of material, particularly the amount required for a washload within an automatic washing machine. The dispensing apparatus additionally operates as a closure for a container, preferably of a laundry product and has a skirt for matingly engaging a container opening and closing same.
