  • Patent number: 10434530
    Abstract: [Object] To provide a trigger sprayer including a valve through which liquid flows with very high efficiency. [Solution] The present invention is directed to a trigger sprayer for, in a state of being attached to a container, causing liquid inside the container to be sprayed from a nozzle part 3 through a passage by rotating a trigger part to move a piston part 5 to apply pressure to liquid inside a cylinder portion 42A of a cylinder structure 4, including: an F valve 2 provided in a passage between the cylinder portion 42A and the container; and an S valve 1 provided in a passage section between the cylinder portion 42A and the nozzle part 3, wherein the S valve 1 includes a first valve body 11 and a first valve seat 12, the first valve body 11 is oppressed against the first valve seat 12, and when the first valve body 11 moves away from the first valve seat 12 so that the S valve 1 opens, the first valve body 11 moves in the same direction as the direction that the liquid flows.

  • Patent number: 9808819
    Abstract: A trigger type sprayer capable of easily performing air vent in a space between a second valve and a first valve, and preventing leakage of liquid in use is provided. The present invention includes a body 11 having a first flow channel 11a through which liquid can flow, a second flow channel 11d communicating with the first flow channel 11a, and a cylindrical cylinder chamber 11b communicating with the second flow channel 11d; a hollow piston 13 slidably incorporated into the cylinder chamber 11b, having a valve seat 13b and a hollow portion 13d of a second valve 14, and sliding back and forth according to operation of a trigger 12; the second valve 14 incorporated into the hollow portion 13d of the hollow piston 13 and positioned at a downstream side; and a first valve 15 incorporated into the cylinder chamber 11b and positioned at an upstream side, wherein the first valve 15 is pressed by the second valve 14 so that the first valve 15 is opened.
