Spray device and methods for making the same
A spray device includes a spray closure ( 100 ) attached to a container ( 900 ), the spray closure ( 100 ) having an air intake and a fluid intake into a mixing chamber ( 150 ) where the air and fluid are mixed before exiting an orifice ( 130 ), the air intake connected to a snorkel ( 120 ) for delivering air from within the container ( 900 ) into the mixing chamber ( 150 ).
1. A spray device, comprising:
a container containing a fluid;
a spray closure attached to the container;
a dip tube attached to the spray closure and positioned on an interior of the container; and
a snorkel attached to the spray closure and positioned on an interior of the container,
wherein the container is configured to have a first resting position and a second dispensing position, where the second dispensing position is substantially perpendicular to the first resting position, and
wherein the snorkel has a distal end that is disposed above the fluid in both the first resting position and the second dispensing position, and the snorkel does not change orientation with respect to the container in both the first resting position and the second dispensing position.
2. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the snorkel is configured to be in communication with a gas in the container when the spray device is in a horizontal position.
3. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the spray closure further comprises:
a mixing chamber; and
an orifice in communication with the mixing chamber.
4. The spray device of claim 3 , wherein the mixing chamber further comprises:
an air intake in communication with the mixing chamber and the snorkel; and
a fluid intake in communication with the mixing chamber and the dip tube.
5. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises an air pocket.
6. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the container further comprises a blown-in dip tube, wherein the snorkel is sealed to the blown-in dip tube and the spray closure.
7. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the snorkel is integrally formed with the spray closure.
8. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the spray closure and snorkel are a singular, molded component.
9. The spray device of claim 1 , wherein the dip tube and the snorkel are curved in opposite directions relative to a vertical central axis extending through the container.
