US 5,348,194 A · Atomizer bottle with pump operable by squeezing

Abstract

The atomizer bottle (10; 110), operable by manual squeezing, comprises in addition to the actual bottle (12, 112) containing the liquid to be atomized an atomizer capsule (22; 122) which closes the mouth (20: 120) of the bottle (12; 112). In the capsule (22; 122) there is inserted an atomization insert (26; 126) comprising a nozzle (27; 127) from which the atomized liquid emerges. The atomizer bottle (10; 110) also comprises a conventional pump (32; 132) with the relative dip tube (60; 160). The pump (32; 132) is enclosed within the bottle (12; 112) and is operable by axially pressing a hollow shaft (30; 130) projecting from it. The hollow shaft (30; 130) of the pump is rigid with the capsule (22; 122), and the interior of the shaft (30; 130) communicates with the nozzle (27; 127). Operating the pump by defarming the frame (32: 132) as a consequence of squeezing the bottle (12; 112), and maintaining the free end (62; 162) of the dip tube (60; 160) adjacent to the base (58; 158) of the bottle (12; 112) under all conditions are provided.
