Abstract
A dispenser for lubricating oil or other liquids consisting of a flexible container having a sealing cap, the cap forming an elongated dispensing spout, a flexible tube connected to the spout passage of the cap and depending freely into the container, a weight affixed to the free end of the tube, a stiffening band partially encircling the container, being formed integrally therewith and integral handles projecting radially from the container at the spaced ends of the band.
Claims4
A liquid dispenser comprising:
- a. a hollow body member adapted to contain liquid to be dispensed, and formed of resiliently flexible material,
- b. a cap applied removably to said body member in sealing relation thereto and including a tubular, outwardly directed spout,
- c. a discharge tube connected to said cap in communication with the internal passage of said spout and extending therefrom into the interior of said body member, being of such length as to extend to closely spaced apart relation from the wall of said body member opposite from said cap, and
- d. manual constricting means operable to constrict and compress said body member, whereby to reduce the internal volume thereof, said constricting means comprising a band of resiliently flexible material partially encircling said body member, its ends being disposed in angularly spaced apart relation, and a handle affixed to each end of said band and extending radially therefrom, whereby movement of said handles toward each other will constrict the internal area of said band, said body member, constricting band and handles being of one-piece integral construction, said constricting band and said handles being of greater wall thickness, as compared to said body member, to provide increased stiffness thereof.
