Spray dispensing device
View Patent ↗One exemplary aspect comprises a device for spraying liquid, comprising: a liquid extractor having a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion of the liquid extractor adapted to be inserted into a liquid source, the liquid extractor comprising a portion defining a cavity for collecting liquid from the liquid source; and a spray dispenser comprising a top portion and bottom portion, and comprising a spray pump partially disposed within and extending from the top portion of the spray dispenser, the bottom portion of the spray dispenser configured to be coupled with the top portion of the liquid extractor, the spray pump comprising a tube having a lower end disposed within the cavity for collecting liquid from the liquid source. In one or more exemplary embodiments, the bottom portion of the liquid extractor comprises a lower end having a concave surface defining a plurality of openings.
1. A device for spraying juice, the device comprising:
a juice extractor having a top portion and a bottom portion, the bottom portion of the juice extractor having an edge that is inserted into a skin of a fruit, the juice extractor containing a cavity for collecting juice directly from the fruit, said edge enclosing an external surface having a plurality of openings through which pulp and seeds larger than each of said plurality of openings do not pass and juice flows and collects in said cavity; and
a spray dispenser comprising a top portion and bottom portion, and comprising a spray pump partially disposed within and extending from the top portion of the spray dispenser, the bottom portion of the spray dispenser detachably coupled with the top portion of the juice extractor, the spray pump comprising a tube having a lower end disposed within the cavity and terminating within a void enclosed by said external surface, for collecting juice directly from the fruit.
2. A device as in claim 1 , wherein said external surface comprises a concave surface defining the plurality of openings.
3. A device as in claim 2 , wherein the edge comprises a serrated edge.
4. A device as in claim 1 , wherein the juice extractor further comprises a filter disposed within the cavity and configured to prevent particles of the fruit from flowing into the cavity.
5. A device as in claim 4 wherein said filter is removable.
6. A device as in claim 1 , wherein the device comprises a surface extending substantially perpendicular to an axis passing through said cavity and said spray dispenser, thereby defining an insertion stop point for inserting the device into said fruit.
7. A device as in claim 6 , wherein the top portion of the spray dispenser flares towards the bottom portion, the flared portion having a diameter larger than a diameter of a lower end of the spray dispenser and a bottom surface of the flared portion forming said insertion stop point.
8. A device as in claim 1 , wherein the spray pump further comprises:
a pump activator having a spray outlet, the pump activator configured to be pressed to cause juice collected within the cavity to flow within the tube of the spray pump toward the spray outlet for distribution.
9. A device as in claim 1 , wherein the spray dispenser and the juice extractor are detachably coupled via a threaded coupling.
10. A device as in claim 1 , wherein at least one portion of said juice extractor is threaded like a screw on an exterior surface.
11. A device as in claim 1 , wherein the spray pump when activated applies a suction force to said fruit.
12. A device as in claim 1 , wherein said juice extractor is cylindrical, with the top portion removably connected to said spray dispenser, and the external surface of the bottom portion having the plurality of openings that allow the juice to flow into said cavity being concave.
