Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
An adapter device for spraying the content of a sectile ampule comprising an element of generally tubular shape, sealingly and fixedly fitted at one end with a hand actuated spraying pump, the pump having an outer hollow actuation valve stem and a suction tube extending inside the tubular element substantially along its whole length, the other end of the tubular element being open for forming a tubular housing designed for receiving the sectile ampule, the tubular element including integral one piece molded therewith an annular lip extending from the tubular element's inner wall for providing a sealed connection with an ampule aperture, and a bead formed on the inner wall of the tubular element adjacent to its open end for maintaining the ampule in its housing and cooperating with the lip to properly position the ampule in the tubular member; the periphery of the open end of the tubular member being capable to be extended resiliently.
