Abstract:
A device for dispensing a fluid comprising:(a) a dispensing housing; (b) a chamber in said housing, said chamber having at least one inlet and at least one outlet, each inlet and each outlet having an essentially centrally disposed bore therethrough; (c) a means for selective activation of said device from a normally biased off position to an open position to enable fluid communication between said at least one inlet and said at least one outlet wherein said push-button actuator further comprises; (i) at least one essentially cylindrical projection from a top of said actuator, said cylindrical projection having at least one transverse bore extending therethrough; (ii) said at least one transverse bore positioned such that upon at least partial longitudinal axial movement, at least a portion of said at least one transverse bore will be in fluid alignment with at least a portion of said at least one inlet and at least a portion of said at least one outlet; (d) a removable dispensing nozzle having a bore therethrough in fluid communication with said at least one outlet of said chamber; and (e) a biasing means to bias said selective activation means in said biased off position, and further wherein said biasing means is (i) a flap in a bottom side of said housing acting in concert with a projection in contact with a tip of said longitudinally axially extending cylindrical projection.
