Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spray head assembly, and more particularly, to a press type spray head assembly with a pneumatic head unit installed to the opening of the bottle.
  • the conventional spray head assemblies generally comprise a head which is pressed downward to generate pressure to suck the liquid in the bottle up and the liquid is obtained from the nozzle at specific amount.
  • the type of spray head assemblies are widely used on shampoo, lotion, kitchen and bath-room cleaning liquid.
  • a typical conventional spray head assembly 200 is shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the press head 201 is set to be in a pushed status and tightly fitted with the bottle 202.
  • the pushed status allows the path 204 of the movable member 203 in the spray head assembly 200 is opened so that the liquid in the bottle 202 may leak during transportation via the path 204.
  • the conventional spray head assemblies usually are not water-proof, which means that water may enter into the bottle to contaminate the liquid in the bottle. Furthermore, after the spread head is pushed and released, some of the liquid is remained in the nozzle, and the small amount of liquid will evenly drop to the rack or floor due to gravity.
  • the present invention intends to provide a spray head assembly which is designed to improve the shortcomings mentioned above.
  • the present invention relates to a spray head assembly and comprises a tubular cylinder with a separation board transversely connected therein.
  • the separation board has a through hole.

  • a cover is connected to the cylinder and has an opening.
  • a locking member is a hollow tube and located in the cylinder. The piston rod extends through the locking member.
  • a push tube extends through the locking member and communicates with the cylinder. The push tube has rib extending from the inside thereof so as to be engaged with the spring and the piston rod.
  • a movable member is a hollow member and located in the push tube. The movable member communicates with the push tube. The movable member has an outlet on the top thereof.
  • a hose is connected to the bottom of the movable member. The hose is inserted into the cylinder.
  • a press head is connected to the push tube and communicates with the push tube. The press head is a hollow member and has a nozzle extending outward therefrom. A connection neck extends from the underside of the nozzle and is connected with the push tube. The movable member is located in the press head.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a spray head assembly which has a check valve to seal the cylinder after distributing the liquid from the nozzle so as to prevent the spray head from leakage.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a spray head assembly wherein the interior of the spray head generates a suction force when the press head returns to its initial position so as to suck the liquid remained in the nozzle back.
  • the spray head assembly of the present invention comprises a tubular cylinder 1 which has a connection end 11 and an inlet end 12.
  • the diameter of the inlet end 12 is smaller than the diameter of the cylinder 1.
