Aerosol container having a side coupled pump module

An improved apparatus for discharging liquid in spray, wherein the improvement comprises:

• a. a liquid module containing a liquid to be sprayed;
• b. a pump module containing weight activated pumping means, said pumping means being capable of supplying compressed air wherein said weight activated pumping means is responsive to agitation of said pump module, the agitation causing a weight impart sequential impulses to said pumping means to provide pumping action;
• c. said pump module and said liquid module being attachable and detachable through coupling means, said liquid module further comprising a stand alone apparatus for discharging liquids in a spray when said liquid module has been first pressurized by being attached to said pump module and then detached from said pump module after transfer of compressed air from the pumping means of said pump module to said liquid module;
• d. a first conduit disposed within said liquid module and a coupling extension attached to said pump module, said coupling extension providing a connection between said pump module and said liquid module for the transfer of compressed air to the liquid module;
• e. a second conduit and an outlet valve, said second conduit conducting the liquid to be sprayed from said liquid module to the outlet valve for discharge, said liquid to be sprayed flowing in response to urging by said compressed air;
• f. said coupling extension of said pump module having an insertion member projecting therefrom, said insertion member being positionally disposed such that when said pump module and said liquid module are attached, said insertion member is in positional register with a liquid module sealable receiving means;
• wherein said liquid module and said pump module have said coupling means comprising:
• g. a finger-operated spring-loaded latch disposed in a bottom portion of said pump module;
• h. an upper extension coupling tab protruding from a top portion of said pump module;
• i. said latch releasable at a bottom portion of said pump module, wherein;
• j. said finger-operated latch releases a bottom portion of said pump module and said liquid module from each other;
• thus permitting the release of the upper extension tab from a collar with a tab coupling recess, said collar being disposed at a top portion of said liquid module, the release further comprising separation of said pump module from said liquid module;
• k. said extension coupling tab engages said tab coupling recess, said extension coupling tab there upon being securely held in place.
