Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 248 words
A multiple aerosol dispenser adapted for supporting aerosol bombs of the type having a cylindrical body and a neck-dispensing portion with a collar and a dispensing valve comprising: A. a bracket defining: i. at least two aerosol bomb neck-engaging apertures, and ii. at least two drive motor supports; B. a lock supported upon said bracket, adjacent each of said apertures, so as to engage the collar of each said aerosol bomb when thrust through said aperture; C. an operating slide being vertically reciprocated above the neck of each said bomb upon a pair of rods supported in each said bracket and including a dispensing shaft selectively engaging said dispensing valve, each shaft further including: i. a head secured to the bottom of said shaft and engageable with said dispensing valve in the neck dispensing portion of said bomb; ii. an intermediate compression spring supported upon said shaft above said head; and iii. a threaded bolt mounted at the other end of said shaft, so as to adjust the degree of compressing said spring; D. a drive motor supported upon each said drive motor support and including: i. a drive shaft; and ii. an eccentric cam mounted upon said shaft, so as to engage and reciprocate said operating slide with respect to said neck dispensing portion of said bomb, E. a clock timing mechanism having control switches for each said drive motor, so as to activate and deactivate said motor and drive said cam, according to pre-selected time increments.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 248 words
A multiple aerosol dispenser adapted for supporting aerosol bombs of the type having a cylindrical body and a neck-dispensing portion with a collar and a dispensing valve comprising: A. a bracket defining: i. at least two aerosol bomb neck-engaging apertures, and ii. at least two drive motor supports; B. a lock supported upon said bracket, adjacent each of said apertures, so as to engage the collar of each said aerosol bomb when thrust through said aperture; C. an operating slide being vertically reciprocated above the neck of each said bomb upon a pair of rods supported in each said bracket and including a dispensing shaft selectively engaging said dispensing valve, each shaft further including: i. a head secured to the bottom of said shaft and engageable with said dispensing valve in the neck dispensing portion of said bomb; ii. an intermediate compression spring supported upon said shaft above said head; and iii. a threaded bolt mounted at the other end of said shaft, so as to adjust the degree of compressing said spring; D. a drive motor supported upon each said drive motor support and including: i. a drive shaft; and ii. an eccentric cam mounted upon said shaft, so as to engage and reciprocate said operating slide with respect to said neck dispensing portion of said bomb, E. a clock timing mechanism having control switches for each said drive motor, so as to activate and deactivate said motor and drive said cam, according to pre-selected time increments.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
A multiple aerosol dispenser as in claim 1, each said lock being in the form of a tension spring, secured at one end within said bracket, having a convoluted mid portion including the collar of an aerosol bomb supported therein and having its free end abutting a tension stud, extending outwardly of said bracket.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
A multiple aerosol dispenser as in claim 2, said bracket being mounted in a housing having at least two dispensing apertures aligned with the neck dispensing portion of each said aerosol bomb.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A multiple aerosol dispensEr as in claim 3, including spring means urging said operating slide upwardly and away from said neck dispensing portion of said aerosol bomb.
