Pressure actuated trigger assembly for mixing dual liquids

Claim 2

A pressure actuated trigger assembly for mixing dual liquids normally held in separate states wherein one of said liquids is under pressure, said assembly including: a. a trigger assembly responsive to an impact to place said liquids in communication with each other; b. an inertial mass; and, c. means responsive to a releasing of the pressure of said one liquid to move said mass in a direction to impact said trigger assembly.

Claim 3

A pressure actuated trigger assembly for mixing dual liquids wherein one liquid in under pressure in a first container and the other liquid is in a second container held within the first container, said assembly including: a. an inertial mass in said first container; b. guide means for guiding movement of said mass along a given path in response to releasing part of said liquid under pressure from said first container, said liquid urging said mass along said path; and, c. trigger means positioned to be impacted by said mass to open said second container so that the liquids can be mixed.

Claim 4

A pressure actuated trigger assembly for mixing dual liquids wherein one liquid in under pressure in a first container and the other liquid is in a second container held within the first container, said assembly including: a. an inertial mass in said first container; b. guide means for guiding movement of said mass along a given path in response to releasing part of said liquid under pressure from said first container, said liquid urging said mass along said path; and, c. trigger means positioned to be impacted by said mass to open said second container so that the liquids can be mixed.

Claim 5

An assembly according to claim 2, in which said guide means includes a tube having an open end immersed in said liquid and its other end adapted to be opened to atmosphere so that said part of said liquid is released through said tube thereby urging said mass through said tube, said second container having a spring loaded closure member held in place by a catch positioned to be actuated by said trigger means when impacted by said mass to release said closure member and thereby opens said second container.

Claim 6

A pressure actuated trigger assembly for mixing dual liquids wherein one liquid is under pressure in a first container and the other liquid comprises a catalyst in a second container held within said first container and wherein there is a spray head incorporating a spray nozzle and valve on said first container and which includes a delivery tube extending into the container for passing the liquid under pressure out of the nozzle, said assembly including: a. a guide tube of larger diameter than said delivery tube having one end open to the liquid in said container and its other end terminating in a curved portion, said delivery tube connecting into the side of the curved portion; b. said second container having a spring loaded top and catch means normally holding said top on said container disposed adjacent to the end of said curve portion of said guide tube; c. an inertial mass in said guide tube adjacent to said one end such that opening of said valve will result in said liquid under pressure passing through said guide tube in a manner to urge said inertial mass along said guide tube, the momentum of said mass carrying it through the curved portion; and, d. trigger means at said end of said curved portion of said guide tube positioned to be impacted by said mass, said trigger means releasing said catch means upon impact by said mass whereby the top of said second container is opened so that the liquids in said containers can be mixed.

Claim 7

A pressure actuated trigger assembly for mixing dual liquids wherein one liquid is under pressure in a first container and the other liquid comprises a catalyst in a second container held within said first container and wherein there is a spray head incorporating a spray nozzle and valve on said first container and which includes a delivery tube extending into the container for passing the liquid under pressure out of the nozzle, said assembly including: a. a guide tube of larger diameter than said delivery tube having one end open to the liquid in said container and its other end terminating in a curved portion, said delivery tube connecting into the side of the curved portion; b. said second container having a spring loaded top and catch means normally holding said top on said container disposed adjacent to the end of said curve portion of said guide tube; c. an inertial mass in said guide tube adjacent to said one end such that opening of said valve will result in said liquid under pressure passing through said guide tube in a manner to urge said inertial mass along said guide tube, the momentum of said mass carrying it through the curved portion; and, d. trigger means at said end of said curved portion of said guide tube positioned to be impacted by said mass, said trigger means releasing said catch means upon impact by said mass whereby the top of said second container is opened so that the liquids in said containers can be mixed.

Claim 8

An assembly according to claim 4, in which said trigger assembly includes a plunger member having a plunger portion extending from the end of said curved portion of said guide tube so that it is urged outwardly when impacted by said mass, said spring loaded top being hinged at one point to said second container and said catch means comprising a member pivoted to a diametrically opposite point to said container, a portion of said member on one side of the pivot point engaging the top to hold it in position when the member is pivoted in one direction, said plunger striking a portion of the member on the opposite side of said pivot to thereby pivot the member in a direction to release the tops so that the spring loaded top can swing open about said hinge.

Claim 9

An assembly according to claim 5, in whicH said inertial mass comprises a ball, said curved portion of the guide tube including a ball check means for holding the ball in the curved portion of the guide tube after it has impacted the plunger, and in which said second container includes an additional ball which is released when said second container is opened so that a user is apprised by shaking of the first container that the liquids are in communication with each other.
