Abstract
A compressible, resilient, manually-energized pump functioning also as a container or reservoir for fluid products to be dispensed. The container is of a unitary construction in which a product discharge conduit is integrally formed with the reservoir with which it communicates, the conduit being joined at an upper extremity thereof to a generally horizontal discharge pipe section terminating in a constricted delivery port. An elongate web integrally formed with the container and the delivery conduit extends between and joins the conduit to the container wall along a height expanse of the container to establish a strong and stable, composite structure.
Claims10
A manually-compressible, resilient container for storing and for positively dispelling and delivering fluid compositions contained therein,
- said container comprising a body defining a fluid reservoir, said body including a floor-like base,
- wall means projecting upwardly of said base and being formed, as an extension thereof, at upper limits of said wall means, with a neck defining a port through which said container is filled,
- cap-like closure means for sealing said port after introducing a fluid composition into said reservoir,
- tubular conduit means including dispenser tube means integrally formed with and supported exteriorly of and radially-outwardly of a diametric limit of said container for establishing fluid flow communication with said reservoir at a locale adjacent said base of said container,
- said conduit means projecting upwardly of said base and extending within limits defined by lower and upper bounds of said body of said container,
- said conduit means having a terminal discharge end,
- said base being generally ellipsoid, and said wall means extending upwardly of said base and being smooth and uninterrupted circumferentially, and said base being planar,
- said wall means being angled generally inwardly of said base, and defining a continuous and smooth annular configuration,
- a nozzle integrally formed with said dispenser tube means at said terminal discharge end thereof,
- web means projecting outwardly of and extending along said wall means for connecting said wall means with said tubular conduit means for supporting and for stabilizing said conduit means;
- said web means being integrally formed with said wall means and with said conduit means, and extending along an upward reach of said conduit means, and
- orifice means at said terminal discharge end of said conduit means for delivery of a fluid composition positively dispelled from said reservoir upon application of compression forces to said wall means of said container.
