Abstract

An electrically powered, portable fluid dispenser that includes a main housing and extendable wand that when used in conjunction with an electric motor, a self-feeding tentacle pumping spinning element, tentacle feed tube, and focusable vibrating backstops, is able to pump, atomize, and dispense, low and high viscosity fluid with controlled directionality and droplet size.

Claims (11)

1. A fluid dispenser for dispensing fluid from a fluid container, comprising:

a. a main housing having a passage through which fluid may be expelled;

b. a tentacle conduit extending between the main housing and the fluid container;

c. a pumping spinning element mounted within the main housing;

d. a plurality of tentacles movably mounted within the tentacle conduit and terminating at one end at the pumping spinning element and at their opposite ends within the fluid container;

e. a motor selectively actuable to provide power to the pumping spinning element, whereby actuation of the motor causes the pumping spinning element to rotate which in turn causes the plurality of tentacles to move;

f. a first vibration member mounted within the main housing and positioned for engagement with fluid being expelled from the main housing;

g. a second vibration member mounted within the main housing and positioned for engagement with fluid being expelled from the main housing; and

h. a plurality of bristles attached to and extending from the pumping spinning element, at least some of the bristles periodically contacting the first and second vibration members.

2. The fluid dispenser according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bristles comprise paired sets of bristles wherein each paired set extend at 180 degree intervals from one another and a first bristle of the plurality of bristles being longer than a second bristle of the plurality of bristles.

3. The fluid dispenser according to claim 1 , further comprising a handle positioned around the tentacle conduit.
