MANUALLY OPERABLE MANIFOLD/NOZZLE CLOSURE FOR FLUID DISPENSERS

摘要

A manually operated seal/closure system for a fluid dispenser manifold is disclosed. The manifold includes at least one nozzle. The manifold housing (16) includes a sidewall (23) pivotally connected to an arm (27). The sidewall (23) further includes a lateral slot (25) and a curved slot (26). The arm (27) includes a proximal end pivotally connected to;the sidewall (23) and a distal end with an elongated slot (45) disposed therebetween. The closure system also includes a bracket (29) for supporting a cup (32) and a seal (33). The bracket is coupled to the arm (27) and the sidewall by a first pin (44) that extends from the bracket through the lateral slot (25) in the sidewall and through the elongated slot of the arm. The bracket is also coupled to the sidewall (23) by a second pin (48) that extends through the lateral slot (25) of the sidewall and laterally between the first pin and the manifold.
