Abstract:
A pump dispenser includes a dispenser head rotatable relative to a locking ring for a lock-down feature during shipment. The lock-down feature requires a greater torque to initially rotate the dispenser head from the lock-down position, and a lesser torque to further rotate the dispenser head to a use position. The lock-down feature incorporates an interference between the dispenser head and locking ring, either inside the dispenser head, on an outer periphery of the dispenser head, or between threads connecting the dispenser head and locking ring.

Claim (Index 1):
A fluid dispenser comprising:\n a dispenser head comprising\n a fluid inlet; \n a fluid outlet; \n a depending skirt; \n a locking groove on a lower edge of the depending skirt; and \n a first thread on the inside surface of the depending skirt; \n a locking ring comprising\n a lower rim; \n an upper rim; \n a locking bump on the lower rim; \n a cylindrical wall between the lower rim and upper rim; the cylindrical wall having a lower edge; and \n a second thread on the outer surface of the cylindrical wall; and \n an interference fit between the locking groove and the locking bump; wherein the dispenser head is rotatable relative to the locking ring between a lock-down position and an unlocked position; wherein rotation of the dispenser head in the vicinity of the lock-down position requires a first torque and rotation of the dispenser head apart from the lock-down position requires a second torque, and the first torque is greater than the second torque.
