Abstract
A trigger-actuated sprayer device useful in connection with a container from which liquid is to be dispensed; the sprayer device has a barrel at the upper part of the sprayer body and a central bore below the barrel; a liquid inlet port is provided in the bottom of the body and an outlet port near its top; a spray chamber is defined within the central bore, and an inlet valve and an outlet valve are respectively associated with the individual ports which are in communication with the spray chamber; an upper bore terminates in an opening at the top of the device body, the upper bore being in communication with the barrel such that the inlet valve is closed when the trigger is depressed and the outlet valve is concurrently opened so as to permit liquid to flow from the spray chamber into the barrel.

A trigger actuated sprayer device used on a container for liquid to be dispensed comprising:
- a body for receiving elements forming said sprayer device;
- a barrel at the upper part of said body;
- a central bore extending longitudinally through said body below said barrel, said central bore being divided into front, intermediate, and rear portions of different diameters;
- a piston means retained within said central bore, and a trigger pivoted in said body for bearing against said piston means to urge it rearwardly when said trigger is depressed;
- a liquid inlet port near the bottom of said body and an outlet port near the top of said body;
- a spray chamber defined within said bore, both said ports being in communication with said spray chamber and having respectively an inlet valve and an outlet valve associated therewith;
- said inlet valve being closed when said trigger is depressed, and said outlet valve being concurrently opened so as to permit liquid to flow from said spray chamber into said barrel;
- further comprising an opening at the top of said body, an upper bore communicating with said opening, said upper bore extending transversely to said central bore, said upper bore being in communication with said barrel and with said intermediate portion of said central bore, said outlet valve being formed in said upper bore.
