De-icer scraper cap
A dispenser cap includes a shell, a scraper coupled to the shell, and a fluid-delivery controller. The dispenser cap mounts on a spray can, and the fluid-delivery controller engages with a valve of the spray can to selectively dispense pressurized fluid from the spray can.
1. A de-icer dispenser cap for use with a spray can, the de-icer dispenser cap comprising:
a shell including a downwardly extending sidewall formed to include an opening and a tunnel having a sidewall extending radially inward from the opening,
a mount ring having an downwardly extending annular skirt that is spaced radially inwardly from the sidewall of the shell, the mount ring is configured to hold the de-icer dispenser cap on the spray can the skirt of the mount ring formed to include an opening,
a scraper extending from the shell, and
a fluid-delivery controller including a button wall positioned radially inwardly from the mount ring, a button grip coupled to the button wall, and a nozzle configured to extend through the opening in the skirt of the mount ring and into the tunnel of the shell, a bridge extending between the shell and the fluid-delivery controller to couple the fluid delivery controller to the shell and to allow the fluid-delivery controller to move relative to the shell, the bridge is attached to the shell at a first pivot point outside of the mount ring and attached to the fluid-delivery controller at a second pivot point inside the mount ring, the bridge extending through the opening in the mount ring, the fluid-delivery controller configured to dispense pressurized fluid from the spray can through the nozzle at the selection of a user, wherein the shell, the scraper, and the fluid-delivery controller are unitary, and
a frangible web extending from the fluid-delivery controller to the shell opposite from the bridge, and wherein the frangible web is configured to break away when the fluid-delivery controller is depressed for the first time relative to the shell.
2. The de-icer dispenser cap of claim 1 , wherein the scraper includes a blade coupled to the shell and one or more teeth formed on the blade.
3. The de-icer dispenser cap of claim 1 , wherein the nozzle includes a valve-stem receiver coupled to the button grip and a spout coupled to the valve-stem receiver, and wherein the valve-stem receiver is configured to engage with a valve stem of the spray can.
4. A de-icer system comprising:
a spray can having a container formed to define an interior storage region and a valve coupled to the container to seal the interior storage region of the container, the valve configured to selectively dispense pressurized fluid from the interior storage region through a valve stem, and
a de-icer dispenser cap comprising:
a shell including a downwardly extending sidewall formed to include an opening and a tunnel having a sidewall extending radially inward from the opening,
a mount ring having an downwardly extending annular skirt that is spaced radially inwardly from the sidewall of the shell, the mount ring configured to hold the de-icer dispenser cap on the spray can the skirt of the mount ring formed to include an opening,
a scraper extending from the shell, and
a fluid-delivery controller including a button wall positioned radially inwardly from the mount ring, a button grip coupled to the button wall, and a nozzle configured to permit the flow of fluid through the opening in the skirt of the mount ring and into the tunnel of the shell, a bridge extending between the shell and the fluid-delivery controller to couple the fluid delivery controller to the shell, the bridge is attached to the shell at a first pivot point and attached to the fluid-delivery controller at a second pivot point, the bridge extending through the opening in the mount ring, the fluid-delivery controller configured to dispense pressurized fluid from the spray can through the nozzle at the selection of a user, wherein the shell, the scraper, and the fluid-delivery controller are unitary with one another, and
a frangible web extending from the fluid-delivery controller to the shell opposite from the bridge, and wherein the frangible web is configured to break away when the fluid-delivery controller moves relative to the shell for the first time.
5. The de-icer system of claim 4 , wherein the nozzle includes a valve-stem receiver coupled to the button grip and a spout coupled to the valve-stem receiver, and wherein the valve-stem receiver is configured to engage with the valve stem of the spray can.
6. The de-icer system of claim 4 , wherein the scraper includes a blade coupled to the shell and one or more teeth formed on the blade.
7. The de-icer dispenser cap of claim 4 , wherein the nozzle includes a valve-stem receiver coupled to the button grip and a spout coupled to the valve-stem receiver, and wherein the valve-stem receiver is configured to engage with a valve stem of the spray can.
