## Abstract

A weighted multitube fluid dispenser designed to allow a user to efficiently dispense fluid stored in a bottle regardless of how they tilt the bottle. The weighted multitube fluid dispenser includes a bottle having an opening at a top end disposed opposite a bottom end and in communication with an interior designed to store liquid therein. A spray head is designed to secure overtop the opening via a rim. A hose extends from the spray head and splits into a plurality of tubes, each tube having an aperture at one end with a weight affixed. The spray head includes a nozzle in communication with the hose, and a trigger in communication with the nozzle. Thus, activating the trigger causes fluid in the bottle to traverse the plurality of tubes and exit through the nozzle, allowing the user to dispense the fluid regardless of how the bottle is tilted.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A weighted multitube fluid dispenser, comprising:
a reservoir having a top end and a bottom end and configured to hold fluid disposed therein;
an opening disposed at the top end of the reservoir in fluid communication with an interior of the reservoir;
a spray head having a rim configured to removably secure overtop the opening;
a hose extending from an interior of the spray head;
wherein the hose splits into a plurality of tubes, each having an aperture at a distal end thereof, the plurality of tubes including a first tube having a first length and a second tube having a second length that is greater than the first length;
a first weight disposed at the distal end of the first tube and a second weight disposed at the distal end of the second tube, wherein the second weight is heavier than the first weight; wherein the first weight and the second weight surround each aperture;
a nozzle disposed at an end of the spray head in communication with the hose;
a trigger disposed on the spray head operably connected to the plurality of tubes and the nozzle such that actuating the trigger causes the fluid disposed in the reservoir to travel up one or more tubes of the plurality of tubes and exit through the nozzle.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The weighted multitube fluid dispenser of claim 1, wherein each tube of the plurality of tubes has a length that extends past the rim of the spray head.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The weighted multitube fluid dispenser of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tubes comprises at least two tubes.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The weighted multitube fluid dispenser of claim 1, wherein each tube of the plurality of tubes comprises a flexible material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The weighted multitube fluid dispenser of claim 4, wherein each tube of the plurality of tube have different influence coefficients.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The weighted multitube fluid dispenser of claim 1, wherein the hose extends past the rim of the spray head prior to splitting into the plurality of tubes.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The weighted multitube fluid dispenser of claim 1, wherein the trigger is ergonomic.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The weighted multitube fluid dispenser of claim 1, wherein a portion of the reservoir includes a plurality of ridges configured to align with a hand of a user when gripped.

### Claim 9

A weighted multitube fluid dispenser, consisting of:
a reservoir having a top end and a bottom end and configured to hold fluid therein;
an opening disposed at the top end of the reservoir in fluid communication with an interior of the reservoir;
a spray head having a rim configured to removably secure overtop the opening;
a hose extending from an interior of the spray head;
wherein the hose splits into four tubes, each of the four tubes having an aperture at a distal end thereof, and including a first tube having a first length and a second tube having a second length that is greater than the first length;
a weight disposed at the distal end of each of the four tubes, each weight comprising a cylinder having a central opening that receives the distal end of the tube therethrough;
a nozzle disposed at an end of the spray head in communication with the hose;
a trigger disposed on the spray head operably connected to the plurality of tubes and the nozzle such that actuating the trigger causes fluid disposed in the reservoir to travel up one or more tubes of the plurality of tubes and exit through the nozzle.
