Remote delivery nozzle assembly for pressurized container

摘要

A remote delivery nozzle assembly is adapted to be releasably connected to a pressurized container to permit delivery of the pressurized contents thereof to a location remote from the container. A connector assembly flowably connects one end of a delivery conduit to the valve stem of the container while a manually operable valve and nozzle coupled with the other end of the delivery conduit provides remote control of the release of the pressurized contents. The connector assembly comprises a hollow cap which frictionally engages an upstanding, annular rim of the container and completely encloses the valve stem. A connector element extends through the aperture in the top of the cap in aligned relationship to the valve stem, and is secured to the cap by frictional engagement therewith. An O-ring interposed between the connector element and the top of the cap provides a gas tight seal therebetween. The connector element has a bore therethrough which respectively receives the valve stem of the container and the flexible conduit in opposite ends thereof to couple the remote delivery nozzle with the contents of the container. Installation of the cap onto the container rim simultaneously couples the connector element with the valve stem while depressing the latter, thereby automatically arming the remote delivery nozzle.
