Dual liquid spraying assembly

A control valve assembly for selectively controlling the dispensing of at least two different liquids from a spray pump, comprising:

• an inner valve member having a discharge outlet at a first end for connection to a spray pump draw tube, at least two inlets at a second, opposite end of said valve member for connection to liquid draw tubes extending into outlets from two different liquid chambers, an inlet opening on its outer surface intermediate its opposite ends, an internal passageway connecting said inlet opening to said discharge outlet, at least two outlet openings on its outer surface spaced from said inlet opening, and internal passageways connecting each outlet opening to a respective one of said inlets;
• releasable securing means for releasably mounting the inner valve member on a container outlet;
• an outer control sleeve movably mounted on the inner valve member, the control sleeve having an internal surface in mating engagement with the outer surface of said inner valve member, said internal surface having passageway means for controlling connection of said outlet openings to said inlet opening, said control sleeve being movable between positions in which only one outlet opening is connected to said inlet opening and both outlet openings are connected to said inlet opening via said passageway means;
• and
• releasable securing means for releasably mounting a spray pump on the free end of the inner valve member.

A dual liquid spraying assembly, comprising:

• an outer container having an internal chamber and an outlet opening at one end;
• a spray pump mechanism mounted on the outer container, the spray pump mechanism having a suction take-up inlet tube;
• a valve assembly mounted on the outlet opening of the outer container, the valve assembly comprising a first valve member having an outlet passageway for receiving said suction tube, and separate first and second inlet passageways, and a second, control valve member mounted on said first valve member and including connecting means for controlling connection of said first and second inlet passageways to said outlet passageway, the control valve member being movable relative to the first valve member between a first position in which only said first inlet passageway is connected to said outlet passageway, a second position in which only said second inlet passageway is connected to said outlet passageway, and at least one intermediate position in which both inlet passageways are connected to said outlet passageway;
• and
• a reservoir member extending from said valve assembly into the internal chamber of said outer container, the reservoir member having an internal chamber and an outer wall for separating said internal chamber from the internal chamber of said outer container, and connecting means for connecting one of said valve member inlet passageways to the internal chamber of said reservoir member and the other valve member inlet passageway to the internal chamber of said outer container surrounding said reservoir member.

A liquid spraying assembly for controlling the dispensing of at least two different liquids, comprising:

• an outer container containing at least two separate compartments for containing two different liquids, the container having an outlet;
• a spray pump assembly mounted on the container outlet for dispensing liquids from the compartments;
• and
• a valve assembly connected between the compartments and the spray pump assembly for controlling the dispensing of the two liquids, the valve assembly comprising inner and outer valve members, the outer valve member comprising an outer control sleeve rotatably mounted on the inner valve member, the inner valve member having an outlet passageway connected to said spray pump assembly, a first inlet passageway connected one of said liquid compartments, and a second inlet passageway connected to the other liquid compartment, the valve assembly including connections between said respective inlet passageways and said outlet passageway, and the outer sleeve member including means for at least partially blocking the connection between at least one of said inlet passageways and said outlet passageway, the outer sleeve member being movable relative to said first valve member between a series of different dispensing positions in which the connection between at least one of said inlet passageways and said outlet passageway is blocked by different amounts to control the proportions of said liquids dispensed.
