Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A liquid measuring and dispensing device which comprises: a liquid compartment, a bottom, side and top wall to the liquid compartment, handle carrying means to said compartment, a dispensing nozzle below said bottom wall and operatively connected for liquid flow from said compartment through said nozzle, venting means through the top wall, a float-insert operatively arranged to close said vent when liquid in said compartment reaches a chosen level, nozzle operating means adjacent said carrying handle, shut-off means in said dispensing nozzle movable between an open and closed position, means connecting the nozzle operating means to the shut-off means for controlling liquid flow through said nozzle, and closure means for said vent in said top actuated by said nozzle operating means and adapted to close said vent when said nozzle control is in closed position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A liquid measuring and dispensing device which comprises: a liquid compartment, a bottom, side and top wall to the liquid compartment, handle carrying means to said compartment, a dispensing nozzle below said bottom wall and operatively connected for liquid flow from said compartment through said nozzle, venting means through the top wall, a float-insert operatively arranged to close said vent when liquid in said compartment reaches a chosen level, nozzle operating means adjacent said carrying handle, shut-off means in said dispensing nozzle movable between an open and closed position, means connecting the nozzle operating means to the shut-off means for controlling liquid flow through said nozzle, and closure means for said vent in said top actuated by said nozzle operating means and adapted to close said vent when said nozzle control is in closed position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
Apparatus as in claim 1, said nozzle comprising a hollow sleeve, and the shut-off means comprising an annular lip terminating said sleeve, and a lip engaging member for resiliently sealing against said lip for preventing liquid flow through said nozzle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
133 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 2, including a coupling nozzle for operative engagement with said nozzle, a stem in said coupling nozzle, a hollow interior to said stem, means for supplying liquid to said interior, orifice means in said stem communicating the outside of said stem to said interior, sliding sleeve means on said stem movable between a first position obturating said orifice means and a second position where said orifice means is unobturated, the stem being operatively engageable to said lip engaging member for raising said member off said lip, and said hollow sleeve in said nozzle being operatively engageable to said sliding sleeve for effecting disobturation of said orifice means for allowing flow of liquid from within said stem through said orifice means into said nozzle and subsequently into said compartment.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 2, said lip engaging member being axially movable of said sleeve and said nozzle operating means connected to said lip engaging member for axial movement of said lip seal.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
25 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 2, said nozzle operating means being arranged adjacent said carrying handle for actuation by a hand on said carrying handle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 2, connecting means between said nozzle operating means and said nozzle, axially movable through said compartment, and carrying said vent closure means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 2, including spring means for returning said nozzle operating means to closed position of said nozzle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 2, comprising an atomising nozzle connected to said compartment for atomising and discharging liquid under pressure in said compartment independently of said dispensing nozzle.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
41 words
Apparatus as defined in claim 2, comprising an atomising nozzle connected to said compartment for atomising and discharging liquid under pressure in said compartment independently of said dispensing nozzle, and an air pump for introducing air under pressure to said compartment.
