M I VIIIIIIQZw 7 IV WIIIIIZIV/XM 7 l v 1 t W u SPRAY PUMP BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to generally a pump and more particularly a pump for spraying liquid finishing agents used in washing, medicines and the like.
The conventional pump for spraying or dispenser comprises generally a cylindrical cylinder and a piston fitted therein for axial movement. A suction port is formed through the sidewall of the cylinder and is adapted to be closed and opened depending upon a first (normal) position and a second (pushed) position of the piston. Therefore, when the suction port is opened, the air is introduced therethrough so as to replace the liquid within the cylinder. When the suction port is closed, the container will not cause any leakage even it is turned upside down. However, the suction port is formed through the sidewall of the hollow cylindrical body so that there must be provided special means for pressing the piston radially against the sidewall of the cylinder in order the suction port may be positively opened and closed depending upon the axial movement of the piston. Alternatively, the piston must be comprised of two members which are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction so that the suction port may be interposed between said two axially spaced apart members and that said two members may be more firmly pressed against the inner wall of the cylinder. Thus, the conventional pump for spraying or dispenser is complicated in construction and expensive to manufacture.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a pump for spraying having a cylinder and piston assembly simple in construction in which the piston can positively open and close a suction port, thereby eliminating the leakage of liquid through the suction port even when the container is turned upside down.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a pump for spraying in which the piston can be maintained in more intimate contact with the inner wall of the cylinder so that no leakage is caused when the piston is actuated and that a higher liquid spraying pressure may be produced within the cylinder.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a pump for spraying consisting of a minimum number of parts so that the manufacture and assembly of the parts into pumps are much facilitated at less cost. In brief, the present invention provides a pump for spraying having a cylinder consisting of an upper smaller diameter portion, a lower larger diameter portion and a tapered portion integrally connecting said two portions and having a suction port formed therethrough and a piston which is slidably fitted into the cylinder and which has also a tapered portion which is normally biased by spring means so as to intimately contact with the tapered portion of the cylinder, the tapered portion of the piston being moved away from the tapered portion of the cylinder only when a plunger is depressed, thereby improving the suction port opening and closing operation.
It is'therefore readily seen that the piston can normally firmly close the suction port by the spring means so that even when the container is turned upside down, the leakage of liquid can be completely prevented.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from'the following description of some illustrative embodiments thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a first embodiment of the present invention illustrating a piston in its normal position; FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 illustrating the piston in its depressed or lower position; and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a second embodiment of the present invention.
Same parts are designated by same reference numerals throughout the figures.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to FIG. I, a container 1 has a cylinder 3 secured to the opening of the housing 1 by means of a cap 2. The cylinder 3 consists of two coaxial hollow small and large diameter sections 31 and 32 which are integrally connected with each other by a tapered portion 33 having a suction port 34. A plunger 5 which is coaxially fitted into the cylinder 3 is generally in the form of a hollow cylinder having a liquid passage 51 formed therein and a nozzle head 6 fixed to the upper end thereof. Below a stepped portion 53 a piston 4 is slidably fixed to the plunger 5. A hole 52 in communication with the fluid passage 51 is formed through the lower end portion of the plunger 5.
The piston 4 consists of two hollow smaller and larger diameter portions 41 and 42 coaxially formed into a unitary construction. The small diameter portion 41 of the piston 4 has such a shape that the radial space may be defined between the smaller diameter portion 41 and the smaller diameter portion 31 of the cylinder 3. On the other hand, the larger diameter portion 42 of the piston 4 is so dimensioned that it may be snugly fitted into the larger diameter portion 32 of the cylinder 3. The tapered portion 43 of the piston 4 is normally made in close contact with the inner wall of the tapered portion 33 of the cylinder 3. The upper end 44 of the piston 4 is normally spaced apart from the stepped portion 53 of the plunger 5.
One or two coils 81 of a coiled spring 8 have a large diameter and are pressed against the inner wall of the larger diameter portion 42 of the piston 4, thereby facilitating the more intimate contact of the larger diameter portion 42 with the inner wall of the cylinder 3.
The lower end of the coiled spring 8 is supported by a washer 9 having an opening 91 and being disposed upon the bottom member 35 of the cylinder 3. To the bottom member 35 is fixed a suction tube 10 and upon the upper end of the section end is placed a ball valve 11.
Next the mode of operation will be described hereinafter. Upon depression of the plunger 5 by pressing down the spray nozzle head 6 by the finger, the stepped portion 53 of the plunger 5 is lowered and contacted with the upper end 44 of the piston 4 so that the piston 4 is caused to move downwardly. When the finger is removed from the spray nozzle head 6, the piston 4 is caused to move upwardly by the coiled spring 8 so that a liquid in the container or housing 1 is sucked into the cylinder 3. When the piston 4 is moved downwardly again, the pressure is applied to the liquid within the cylinder 3so that the liquid is sprayed through the spray nozzle head 6 through the space C between the inner wall of the tapered portion 43 of the piston 4 and the washer 7, the hole 52 and the liquid passage 51. As best shown in FIG. 2, the tapered portion 43 of the piston 4 is moved away from the tapered portion 33 of the cylinder 3 so that the suction port 34 is opened, thereby introducing the atmospheric air into the container 1 through the port 34. Thus. the discharged liquid is smoothly replaced by the introduced air.
Since the coil 81 of the coiled spring 8 pushes the piston 4 radially outwardly toward the cylinder 3 so that much pressure is exerted to the liquid within the cylinder 3. Since the peripheral edge 71 of the washer 7 serves to press the tapered 1 portion 43 of the piston 4 against the tapered portion 33 of the cylinder 3, the leakage of the liquid through the suction port 34 and/or the leakage through the spacing between the piston 4 and the cylinder 3 may be effectively prevented. Next the second embodiment of the present invention will be described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 3. In the second embodiment only the piston, the hole formed through the plunger and the coiled spring are different from those in the first embodiment. A piston 14 has no larger diameter portion as in the first embodiment and is in the form of a cone as a whole consisting of a small diameter portion 141 and a tapered portion 143. At the lower end of the plunger 5 is formed a plurality of notches 54 and the coiled spring 8 has no coil which presses the piston 14 radially outwardly. Other parts are substantially similar to those described in the first embodiment. The mode of operation of the second embodiment will be readily apparent from the description of the first embodiment so that no further description will be made.
The present invention has been so far described with particular reference to the illustrative embodiments thereof, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected without departing from the true spirit of the present invention as described hereinabove and as defined in the appended claims.
