Abstract

Abstract The dispenser may be in the form of a dispensing gun and is preferably used to dispense a low viscosity material such as a cynoacrylate glue. The dispenser includes a handle and a holder supported from the handle. The holder comprises a body defining a chamber in which the glue bottle is disposed and an end cap having a nozzle and into which the bottle is threadedly engaged. The handle has a venturi tube therein which receives a pressurized air flow and couples the air flow to the holder, and a valve means coupled to the venturi tube. When the valve means is open the pressurized air is vented to the atmosphere causing a partial vacuum (negative pressure) in the holder on the bottle thereby sucking any excess material into the bottle. When the valve means is operated to its closed position the pressurized air is directed to the holder causing the bottle to contract and thereby force metered amounts out of the nozzle of the dispenser.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 154 words
A dispenser for a liquid material that is contained in a deformable bottle, said dispenser comprising; a body defining a chamber in which is disposed said bottle, means for supporting the bottle in the chamber in a fixed position including a cap for the body having a dispensing nozzle and receiving the open end of the bottle, means for receiving a flow of pressurized fluid, a valve means having an open position and a closed position, a venturi tube extending between the means for receiving a flow of pressurized fluid and the valve means, and means coupling from the venturi tube to the chamber, said valve means when open venting the fluid flow causing a vacuum in the chamber for maintaining the liquid material in the bottle, and when closed directing the pressureized fluid to the chamber causing the bottle to contract and thereby force an amount of liquid material from the dispensing nozzle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 154 words
A dispenser for a liquid material that is contained in a deformable bottle, said dispenser comprising; a body defining a chamber in which is disposed said bottle, means for supporting the bottle in the chamber in a fixed position including a cap for the body having a dispensing nozzle and receiving the open end of the bottle, means for receiving a flow of pressurized fluid, a valve means having an open position and a closed position, a venturi tube extending between the means for receiving a flow of pressurized fluid and the valve means, and means coupling from the venturi tube to the chamber, said valve means when open venting the fluid flow causing a vacuum in the chamber for maintaining the liquid material in the bottle, and when closed directing the pressureized fluid to the chamber causing the bottle to contract and thereby force an amount of liquid material from the dispensing nozzle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
A dispenser as set forth in claim 1 wherein the body includes a cylindrical member closed at one end and open at the other end and said cap fitting over an open end of the chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 30 words
A dispenser as set forth in claim 2 wherein said cap is threaded onto the member and has a centrally disposed collar for receiving the open end of the bottle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A dispenser as set forth in claim 3 wherein said cap has means for assisting in sealing the bottle to the cap in a liquid tight manner.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
A dispenser as set forth in claim 1 wherein said means for receiving a flow of pressurized fluid includes an input fluid line directing fluid to the venturi tube.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 29 words
A dispenser as set forth in claim 5 wherein said venturi tube defines a restricted orifice and said means coupling from the venturi tube connects at the restricted orifice.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 35 words
A dispenser as set forth in claim 1 wherein the valve means includes an actuating button and means for urging the button to its open position corresponding to an open position of the valve means.
