Abstract
A dispenser assembly for dispensing liquid from a container has a dispenser operable remotely from the container by way of a tube communicating the dispenser and the liquid within the container. The dispenser assembly has a hand-held dispenser and a tube connected to the dispenser for extension into the liquid within the container. The dispenser is operable to dispense liquid from the container by way of the tube. An adaptor is secured to the container with the tube operable for extending from the dispenser, through the adaptor, and into the container. With the dispenser disconnected from the adaptor and with the adaptor secured to the container, the dispenser may be operated remotely from the container to dispense the liquid from the container.
Claims18
An assembly for dispensing liquid from a container holding liquid, the container having an opening providing access to the container interior, the assembly comprising:
- a conduit for extension into the container, said conduit having a flexible portion;
- a hand-held trigger dispenser having a handle portion configured for gripping of the handle portion by a person's hand, the dispenser being connected to the conduit and having a pump operable for drawing liquid from the container by way of the conduit when the conduit is extended into liquid held within the container;
- and
- an adaptor having a connector for releasably fastening the adapter to the container at the container opening and the adapter having a portion extending into the interior of the container when the adaptor is fastened to the container at the opening;
- the dispenser and adaptor having connectors releasably fastening the dispenser to the adaptor with the conduit extending from the dispenser through the adaptor and into the container when the adaptor is fastened to the container, the conduit flexible portion providing extension upon disconnecting the dispenser from the adaptor for remote operation of the dispenser from the adaptor;
- whereby, the fastening of the dispenser, adaptor and container together provides a stationary attachment of the dispenser relative to the container.
