Abstract

A liquid applicator device is disclosed for dispensing a liquid. A dispensing mechanism defines a valve body hollow. The dispensing mechanism receives the liquid from a liquid container. A closure engages with the liquid container. An applicator tip slidably engages within the closure. A flared peripheral shoulder is coupled to a valve element. The flared peripheral shoulder is impressed against the valve body hollow for preventing the liquid from exiting the dispensing mechanism. The flared peripheral shoulder is displaced for permitting the flow of the liquid from the dispensing mechanism and to the applicator tip. In a first embodiment of the invention, the flared peripheral shoulder includes a non linear protrusion for preventing leakage of the liquid from the dispensing mechanism. In a second embodiment of the invention, a valve flow regulator is coupled to the valve element for controlling the flow of the liquid from the dispensing mechanism.

Abstract

A retractable liquid dispenser device comprising an outer body having a retractable mechanism slidably supporting a liquid dispenser. The liquid dispenser has a supply reservoir and a discharge reservoir with a reservoir valve disposed therebetween. A retractable valve is located in proximity to an open first end of the outer body. A first depression of the retractable actuator opens the retractable valve and moves the liquid dispenser into the extended position for enabling a depression of a distal end of the liquid applicator to open the dispensing valve to permit liquid to flow from the supply reservoir into the dispensing reservoir to dispense the applicator liquid from the distal end of the liquid applicator. A second depression of the retractable actuator moves the liquid dispenser into the retracted position and closes the retractable valve to enclose the distal end of the liquid applicator within the outer body.

Abstract

A liquid applicator device is disclosed for dispensing an applicator It quid from an applicator liquid container. The liquid applicator device comprises a closure having an internal passageway for sealing with, the applicator liquid container. A dispensing mechanism is disposed in the internal passageway of the closure. An applicator located in the passageway engaging with the valve element for enabling a depression of the applicator to displace the valve element from the sealing surface to enable the flow of the applicator liquid from die liquid container into the applicator. A capture extends from the valve element for grasping the applicator for inhibiting removal of the applicator from the passageway.

Abstract

A precision liquid applicator is disclosed for dispensing an applicator liquid from a container onto a surface. The precision liquid applicator comprises a closure defining a terminal orifice and a valve seat. A valve comprises a precision applicator tip extending through the terminal orifice and comprises a valve seal for sealing with the valve seat. A depression of the precision applicator tip onto the surface displaces the valve seal from the sealing surface for providing an annular passageway between the precision applicator tip and the terminal orifice to enable the flow of the applicator liquid onto the surface. A valve stop cooperates with a stop wall for limiting movement of the valve to control a cross-sectional area of the passageway.

A valve stop cooperates with a stop wall for limiting movement of the valve to control a cross-sectional area of the passageway between the precision applicator tip and the terminal orifice and for ensuring the precision applicator tip extends beyond the second end of the closure. The precision liquid applicator is suitable for applying paint into a scratch within a painted surface without excessive application of paint outside of the scratch.

Abstract

A liquid applicator device is disclosed for applying a liquid from a container to a surface. A closure defining a closure aperture is secured the closure to the container. A sealing member sealingly engages with the closure mounting. The sealing member has a tubular sleeve with an applicator slidably disposed within the tubular sleeve. The applicator comprises a hollow interior with an applicator tip defined by an outer applicator portion of the applicator. A biasing member coacts between the closure and the applicator for urging the applicator to form a seal with the sealing member. A depression of the outer applicator portion against the surface displaces the applicator from the sealing member to enable the flow of the liquid from the container to the applicator tip of the applicator.
