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.

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.

Abstract: A squeeze bottle which eliminates a separate tube and has no moving parts and has two positions for filling and for use for dispensing and mixing with air such products as soap, cosmetics, food, mustard, salad dressing and so forth. The squeeze bottle mixes the material because the supply tube extends from the bottom of the container and it is not necessary to shake before using.

Abstract: A safety switch connected to a rear stop light that is mounted under the heel of a driver so as to indicate when the drivers' heel leaves the floor to warn following drivers of braking.

Abstract: A dispenser container and container cap combination with the container formed of a molded plastics body having an integral section forming a tube extending from the fluid bottom area of the container to the container neck opening. The cap having a stopper portion closing a filling part of the container neck opening and having a dispensing orifice in communication with the tube portion of the container.

Abstract: A tamper indicating closure cap of the type having a pivotable stopper closing a cap top orifice. The stopper has an integral flange overlying portions of the top and extending behind the pivotable member to preclude pivoting of the pivotable member. The flange is removable from the pivotable member and indicia formed in the container top underlying the flange is made visible by removal of the flange.

Abstract: A collapsible luggage carrier has a base with depending peripheral walls forming a boundary enclosed underside in which hinged wheel brackets are affixed to the underside at hinge points spaced from one another a distance sufficient to allow wheels carried by the brackets to be collapsed inwardly in opposed folded non-overlapped relation. A U-shaped cross-section lock bracket is hinged to one of the peripheral walls or to a cross wall with the legs of the bracket directed inwardly towards the underside of the base, the legs being spaced apart a distance sufficient to engage the wheel brackets in both the wheel collapsed and wheel extended positions and to retain the wheels respectively in each of said positions.

Abstract: A step-in type overshoe composed of a molded plastic material which in its relaxed condition has a plurality of accordion-type pleats formed therein with their fold lines being generally horizontal. The overshoe has a flexible instep area arranged to be deformed upon receiving the toe of a shoe, together with a latching means for releasably compressing the rear end of the accordion-type pleats to permit seating of the shoe within the overshoe whereupon disengagement of the latching means returns the accordion-type pleats to their relaxed state embracing the foot of the wearer.

Abstract: A container having a threaded neck is provided with a removal resistant cap which can be applied to the container neck by rotational thrust. The cap has a depending skirt having an internally threaded lower section with the threads terminating in a bead intermediate the ends of the skirt. The neck has an upper threaded section with the threads terminating in a bead spaced below the top of the neck. When the threads of the cap are engaged with the threads of the neck and the cap is rotated relative to the neck, the skirt will circumferentially expand so that the skirt bead passes over the neck bead. At that point, the threads will no longer engage and the interlocked beads will inhibit removal of the cap. Means are provided to enhance removability of the cap from the neck by tearing away a portion of the skirt.

Abstract: Bottle cap having an outer peripheral skirt for receipt around the neck of a bottle has an axial end for closing the bottle mouth. The axial end has a central raised portion the bottom periphery of which flanges outward to form a peripheral top collar portion which overlies the thickness of the bottle neck end face with the peripheral wall of the central portion having an o.d. not greater than the inner diameter of the bottle neck portion. The central portion of the top is collapsible vertically downwardly with the peripheral wall convoluting interior of the bottle neck into pressed circumferential engagement with the i.d. to provide an effective 360.degree. seal. Upon removal of the so-collapsed top from the bottle, and attempted closure, the convoluted portion will interfere with the neck wall of the bottle forcing the central portion to project upwardly providing a tell-tale sign that the bottle has been opened.

Abstract: A relatively lightweight dispensing cap closure includes a base cap portion for attaching to a container opening and a closure portion mounted for pivotable movement in a depressed socket formed in a top surface of the cap. The top surface is formed with a dispensing orifice and the closure portion is formed with a stopper member which cooperates with the dispensing orifice to open and close the cap. The closure portion has a downturned rear flange portion which is received in the socket to permit the closure portion to lie in a substantially horizontal, closed condition with the stopper plugging the dispensing orifice and a substantially upright, opened condition whereby the closure portion is positioned out of the flow path through the dispensing orifice. The flange portion of the closure is formed with an engaging means as is a front wall of the socket which retain the closure in the full open position. A stop surface is provided to limit pivotal movement of the closure portion in the opened condition.

Abstract: A pump for bottles, cans, containers, and the like, which dispenses a fluid mist or spray. The pump has a spray head with a series of cavities forming passageways leading from a tube, which extends down into the bottle, can or other container to a jet-orifice at a spray-dispensing nozzle. Between two of the cavities is a trigger-bulb which expands, after compression, under the force of a plastic memory to suck fluid from the can or bottle. When the trigger-bulb is again squeezed, or otherwise actuated, the fluid is forced out the jet-orifice at the nozzle. The upper edge walls of the trigger-bulb provide the valving action which opens or closes the passageways to control the direction of fluid flow. The breathing air which replaces dispensed fluid in the container, or the like, is controlled by a valve action under the flange.
