Abstract
A trigger dispensing head for a dispensing device is provided. The trigger dispensing head has a frame, a manually operable trigger, a piston chamber, a piston, a dispensing duct, a suction duct, pre-compression valves, suction valves, a locking member and a nozzle having a gripping wall equipped with an actuation compartment and an interference element. The nozzle is movable between an opening position, in which the locking member is freely movable in the actuation compartment, and a closing position, in which the locking member engages the interference element, preventing an actuation stroke of the manually operable trigger.
Claims20
A trigger dispensing head for a dispensing device, comprising:
- a frame applicable to a bottle of the dispensing device;
- a manually operable trigger;
- a piston chamber supported by the frame and a piston sealingly slidable in the piston chamber along a piston axis through actuation by the manually operable trigger;
- a dispensing duct, ending with a dispensing end, in communication with the piston chamber to take a product being dispensed from the piston chamber towards an external environment;
- a suction duct in communication with the piston chamber to take the product being suctioned from the bottle to the piston chamber;
- suction valve means adapted to operate between the piston chamber and the suction duct to allow a passage of the product being suctioned from the bottle to the piston chamber during a suction step and to prevent the product from returning from the piston chamber to the bottle during a dispensing step;
- a locking member positioned on the manually operable trigger;
- and
- a nozzle engaged to the frame having a nozzle axis, comprising:
- a base positioned at the dispensing end, provided with a nozzle passageway and an outer port;
- an annular gripping wall extending from the base;
- an actuation compartment located on the annular gripping wall, suitable for receiving the locking member;
- and
- an interference element positioned on the annular gripping wall;
- wherein the nozzle is positionable in a closing position, in which the locking member engages the interference element 9 preventing an actuation stroke of the manually operable trigger, and in an opening position, in which the locking member is freely movable in the actuation compartment allowing the actuation stroke of the manually operable trigger;
- and
- wherein the nozzle comprises at least one backing wall radially protruding internally from the annular gripping wall, configured to form a limit stop for the locking member upon reaching the closing position and/or the opening position.
