Abstract
A fluid dispensing assembly which includes a container defining a volume for containing a first fluid. A valve assembly is fixed to the container, and is in fluid communication with the volume. The valve assembly is connectable to a fluid conduit which supplies a second fluid to the valve assembly. A handle strap is fixed relative to the container and the valve assembly, and has a conduit support engaging the container for supporting a conduit.
Claims35
A handle strap for use with a dispensing assembly including a container, said handle strap comprising:
- a base fixable to the dispensing assembly;
- and
- a hose support extending from said base, and having a hose engaging surface engagable with a hose connected to the dispensing assembly, said hose engaging surface including an outwardly facing hose engaging surface and a container engaging surface engagable with a surface of the container, wherein said hose engaging surface is spaced from said container engaging surface a distance away from said container engaging surface to define a handle opening.
A fluid dispensing assembly comprising:
- a container defining a volume for containing a first fluid;
- a valve assembly fixed to said container, and in fluid communication with said volume, said valve assembly being connectable to a fluid conduit which supplies a second fluid to said valve assembly;
- and
- a handle strap fixed relative to said container and said valve assembly, said handle strap including a conduit support engaging said container for supporting the conduit when connected to said valve assembly, said conduit support including an outwardly facing hose engaging surface and defining at least a portion of a handle for grasping by a user.
A fluid dispensing assembly comprising:
