Trigger sprayer
View Patent ↗According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a trigger actuated pump sprayer having a pump body, a trigger lever, a shroud and a nozzle, wherein the trigger actuated pump sprayer further comprises a toggle switch adaptor engaging the nozzle and having an operable portion within an opening in the shroud. In this way, the operable portion of the toggle switch adapter can be guided, controlled, regulated or otherwise manipulated within or around or otherwise because of the opening in the shroud, to remotely operate at least the nozzle of the trigger actuated pump sprayer.
1. A trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer comprising a pump body, a trigger lever, a shroud and a nozzle,
wherein the trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer further comprises a toggle switch adaptor engaging the nozzle and having an operable portion within an opening in the shroud, wherein the shroud extends around the toggle switch adaptor and comprises a drip guard which extends to a location below a distal end of the toggle switch adaptor, and wherein the toggle switch adapter includes a cone or cone like assembly through which liquid is jetted or sprayed.
2. the trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the toggle switch adaptor is movable by rotation.
3. The trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the opening is a cut.
4. The trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the cut defines at least first and second discharge settings to which the operable portion is movable.
5. The trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the at least first and second discharge settings comprise opposing ends of the cut.
6. The trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the at least first and second discharge settings corresponds to a specific nozzle discharge.
7. The trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the specific nozzle discharge of the at least first and second discharge settings comprise two or more of the group comprising: a nozzle closed setting, a jet discharge setting, and a spray discharge setting.
8. The trigger actuated liquid pump sprayer as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the operable portion is in a substantially horizontal orientation when moved to either of the opposing ends of the cut.
