Fluid-dispensing apparatus

摘要

A fluid-dispensing apparatus, comprises a hollow handle, a working head from which fluid may be dispensed and an intermediate member, the hollow handle providing an enclosure defining a fluid reservoir therein, the handle having a distal end portion and having an outlet located in the distal end portion, the working head having a dispensing aperture for dispensing of fluid, the intermediate member being configured to receive the distal end portion of the handle therein, the working head being attachable to the intermediate member, the intermediate member has an opening which is in alignment with the outlet of the handle and with the dispensing aperture of the working head when assembled. The apparatus comprises a flow control member, which is received within the intermediate member and is movable to align apertures of different sizes with the handle outlet, providing discrete flow control configurations.

1. A fluid-dispensing apparatus comprising a hollow handle, a working head from which fluid may be dispensed and an intermediate member,
the hollow handle providing an enclosure defining a fluid reservoir therein, the handle having a distal end portion and having an outlet located in the distal end portion, the working head having a dispensing aperture for dispensing of fluid, the intermediate member being configured to receive the distal end portion of the handle therein, the working head being attachable to the intermediate member, the intermediate member having a dispensing aperture, the dispensing aperture of the intermediate member being in alignment with the outlet of the handle and with the dispensing aperture of the working head when assembled wherein the apparatus further comprises a flow control member for controlling the flow of from the handle, the flow control member being movable with respect to the handle outlet for selectively controlling the flow, the flow control member being received substantially within the intermediate member and the flow control member being movable linearly, via a sliding action, distally and proximally relative to the handle in order to control the flow of fluid from the handle, the flow control member having a throughbore for receiving at least part of the distal end portion of the handle therethrough.
