Abstract
The pump dispenser plug is a flexible, conical plug that could be easily adapted through the use of removable layers to fit any type of pump dispenser container. When the container is not in use, the plug would be inserted into the pump nozzle opening to prevent the contents from drying and collecting on the outside tip. The plug has a circular base with a perpendicular shaft upon which is mounted a conical structure comprised of removable layers. The conical layers are formed of flexible plastic, and each has a longitudinal access slit cut along its outer surface. To reduce the size of the plug for smaller nozzle openings, the user would simply peel off the appropriate number of layers and discard them.
Claims18
A pump dispenser plug comprising:
- a circular disc having a top surface with a center and an outer edge, a bottom surface with an outer edge and parallel to said top surface, and a side wall joining said outer edge of said top surface to said outer edge of said bottom surface;
- and
- a conical shaft having a wide base and a pointed tip and connected on said base to said top surface of said disc;
- said conical shaft comprising:
- a support rod having a first end and a second end;
- and
- a plurality of flexible conical layers of incremental sizes from a smallest layer to a largest layer, each formed with an outer surface and a hollow interior and having a tip and a circular base that is wider than said tip, and connected to said support rod wherein said tip of said smallest layer is removably connected to said first end of said support rod and said base of said first layer is removably connected to said second end of said support rod and each of said other layers is removably and incrementally connected to said layer that is just smaller than said other layer wherein said tips are aligned on said first end of said rod and said bases are aligned on said second end of said rod.
A pump dispenser plug comprising:
- a support member having a top surface with a center and an outer edge, a bottom surface with an outer edge and parallel to said top surface, and a side wall joining said outer edge of said top surface to said outer edge of said bottom surface;
- and
- a support rod having a first end and a second end and perpendicularly connected on said second end to said center of said top surface of said support member;
- and
- a plurality of flexible conical layers of incremental sizes from a smallest layer to a largest layer, each formed with an outer surface and a hollow interior and having a tip and a circular base that is wider than said tip, and connected to said support rod wherein said tip of said smallest layer is removably connected to said first end of said support rod and said base of said first layer is removably connected to said second end of said support rod and each of said other layers is removably and incrementally connected to said layer that is just smaller than said other layer wherein said tips are aligned on said first end of said rod to form a conical tip and said bases are aligned on said second end of said rod.
