  • Patent number: 4343397
    Abstract: A lid made of a syntheticresin and swingable like a cover for a book to open or close the opening of a container. A leg or legs of desired length extending rearwardly from the rear end of a lid plate renders the lid plate capable of maintaining a desired open position, and moving automatically into its open and closed positions. Such capabilities of the lid plate depend on the force created by a flat surface carrying a hinge base to urge the free end of the leg upwardly, the elasticity of a hinge and the hinge base, and the distance defined between the hinge and the free end of the leg which has been moved. The lid is particularly suitable for a compact for a cosmetic, or the like.

    Abstract: A cylinder in which a liquid pressurizing chamber is formed is inserted into a liquid container. The cylinder has an unitary large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion. A first piston is slidably received by the large-diameter portion of the cylinder. The cylinder also slidably receives an operation body including a second piston slidably in the large-diameter portion and a third piston slidably in the small-diameter portion. The liquid in the pressurizing chamber defined by the cylinder and the pistons is pressurized as the operation body is depressed overcoming a force of a spring. A stop valve mounted on the second piston is opened in response to the pressure generated in the pressurizing chamber, so that the liquid is allowed to reach, through a passage formed in the first piston, a nozzle for atomizing the liquid.

  • Patent number: 4082223
    Abstract: A fluid is sprayed from a nozzle aperture of a trigger type spraying device under pump pressure generated by the pumping action of an injection pipe member lifted and lowered vertically by an operating mechanism. Said injection pipe member includes a vertical pipe portion, corresponding to a piston, and an oblique pipe portion inclined to said vertical pipe portion. At the tip of said oblique pipe portion, there is provided a discharge valve having an elastically deformable ring member in such a manner that pulling of the trigger portion of a crank lever forces the lower half of said vertical pipe portion, corresponding to the piston, into the cylinder, thereby producing a pumping action. The fluid pressurized in the pump chamber exerts pressure, through means of a fluid passage in the injection pipe member, onto the ring member of the discharge valve in a direction whereby the ring member is flexed so as to open the valve, thereby causing the fluid to be sprayed conically from the nozzle aperture.
