Enclosing Cover For Actuating Parts Of Discharging Means Patents (Class 222/182)
  • Patent number: 3935999
    Abstract: A spray confining aerosol dispensing device, includes a pressurized aerosol container provided with an upwardly directed axial nozzle on its top wall and a valve actuator including a pair of depressible opposite radial arms extending beyond the container periphery. A shield sleeve slidably engages the container and is horizontally rotatable and vertically movable between upper and lower positions. A pair of peripherally spaced ribs are formed on the sleeve inside face and are above the actuator arm level when the sleeve is extended, so that the sleeve may be rotated to bring the ribs in vertical registry with the actuator arms. Depression of the sleeve when pressed against a surface to be sprayed, opens the spray valve and the spray is confined by the sleeve. Stop members are provided on the sleeve to limit its axial movement on the container.

  • Patent number: 3936000
    Abstract: A shield device for restricting the spray from an aerosol container to a limited area used in applying an antiperspirant or deodorant to the axilla, which includes a sleeve releasably coupled to the top of and projecting above an aerosol container having an axial upwardly directed nozzle and a concentric depressible valve actuator. A frustoconical tubular shield member is coaxially supported by the sleeve for downward movement to depress the valve actuator, and projects above the sleeve and is releasably lockable in its raised position. By pressing the upper edge of the shield member against the axilla, the valve is depressed and opened.

  • Patent number: 3935974
    Abstract: A spray confining aerosol dispensing device includes a pressurized aerosol container provided with an upwardly directed discharge tube coupled to a coaxial spray nozzle having a venturi shaped bore to effect the divergence of the spray. An axially movable spray confining tubular shield having an end discharge opening slightly greater than the spray pattern at such opening projects axially from the container, and axial depression of the shield effects the depression of the container valve actuator to open the valve. In one form the shield is alternatively movable to an extended operative position and to a contracted inoperative position with the container telescoping the shield and in another form the shield carries the venturi nozzle on a transverse wall so that the shield may be alternatively employed as a closure cap or a valve actuating spray confining shield.

  • Patent number: 3934751
    Abstract: An overcap for use with aerosol dispensing containers including a top member having a skirt extending from the peripheral edge thereof, a resilient and flexible central portion, a plurality of arms extending downwardly from the central portion carrying inwardly turned lips at the ends thereof and web means connecting the arms to the peripheral portion of the overcap. When mounted on the aerosol dispensing container the inwardly turned lips engage a protruding rim of the cup member portion of the container, and upon depressing the central portion of the top member, the arms are pivotally moved outwardly to release the container and permit removal of the overcap therefrom.

  • Patent number: 3933275
    Abstract: A portable beverage dispenser having a housing which contains a casing provided with a plurality of bottle receptacles for the purpose of holding bottles of beverage in an inverted position. Beverages flow from the bottle to individual cooling cups, which are disposed within an ice compartment, and from the cooling cups through pipes to individual spigots mounted on the outside of the housing. A hinged panel is provided on the casing to prevent accidental spilling of the beverage into the ice compartment when the bottles are installed in the housing. The housing has the overall configuration of a wooden barrel and is mounted on a wheeled chassis.

  • Patent number: 3933278
    Abstract: A child-safe container assembly having closure accessible through an elongated passageway, and further characterized by a pivotally supported damper-like member which normally obstructs the passageway, and adapted for the finger of a user to be inserted into the passageway in order to first move the damper-like member at least partially out of the way and thereafter to actuate the closure for releasing contents from the container.
