Claims14
An apparatus for dispensing fluid, the apparatus comprising:
- a fluid repository in fluid communication with a nozzle, wherein the nozzle includes at least one dispensing orifice formed therein;
- a plug positioned within at least a portion of the interior of the nozzle, wherein the plug comprises:
- a. a base,
- b. a tip comprising a plurality of fingers extending from the base, wherein the fingers are structured to be resiliently biased in a closed state in the absence of a threshold fluid pressure within the interior of the plug, and
- c. wherein the plurality of fingers are structured to extend outwardly from the interior of the plug in an open state to create a pathway for communicating fluid from the fluid repository to the dispensing orifice upon application of a threshold fluid pressure within the interior of the plug.
