Liquid dispensing devices including an attached cleaning element

Abstract

Liquid dispensing devices, and more particularly liquid dispensing devices including an attached cleaning element are disclosed comprising a plunger/handle pole assembly, an exterior barrel capable of slidably receiving the plunger/handle pole assembly and including a liquid reservoir, and a brush head attached to a distal end of the exterior barrel which is in fluid communication with the liquid reservoir.

1 . A liquid dispensing device comprising: 
 a plunger having a handle attached thereto and a cap on an end thereof;    an exterior barrel shaped to slidingly receive said plunger and including a liquid reservoir therein;    a cleaning head having a spray nozzle therein, said cleaning head attached to said exterior barrel and including a spray nozzle therein in fluid communication with said reservoir, said spray nozzle including at least two passages therethrough; and    a valve between said fluid reservoir and said spray nozzle for selectively allowing fluid flow into said reservoir through all of said passages while preventing fluid flow out of said reservoir through at least one of said passages.    
   
   
       2 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said cleaning head is rotatably attached to said exterior barrel.  
   
   
       3 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said spray nozzle outlet is positioned proximate a front edge of said cleaning head.  
   
   
       4 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said valve is an umbrella valve.  
   
   
       5 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said spray nozzle includes three linearly aligned passages and said valve prevents fluid flow out from the reservoir through the two outer passages.  
   
   
       6 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  further comprising a grip positioned on said exterior barrel.  
   
   
       7 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 6  wherein said grip is a foam grip.  
   
   
       8 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  further comprising at least one O-ring positioned on said cap.  
   
   
       9 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said handle is attached to said plunger by a retainer ring.  
   
   
       10 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 1  further comprising a circumferential collar for rotatably attaching said cleaning head to said exterior barrel.  
   
   
       11 . A liquid dispensing device comprising: 
 a plunger having a handle attached thereto and a cap on an end thereof;    an exterior barrel shaped to slidingly receive said plunger and including a liquid reservoir therein;    a cleaning head having a spray nozzle therein, said cleaning head rotatingly attached to said exterior barrel and including a spray nozzle therein in fluid communication with said reservoir, said spray nozzle including at least two passages therethrough; and    a valve between said fluid reservoir and said spray nozzle for selectively allowing fluid flow into said reservoir through all of said passages while preventing fluid flow out of said reservoir through at least one of said passages.    
   
   
       12 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 11  wherein said spray nozzle outlet is positioned proximate a front edge of said cleaning head.  
   
   
       13 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 11  wherein said valve is an umbrella valve.  
   
   
       14 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 11  wherein said spray nozzle includes three linearly aligned passages and said valve prevents fluid flow out from the reservoir through the two outer passages.  
   
   
       15 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 11  further comprising a grip positioned on said exterior barrel.  
   
   
       16 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 15  wherein said grip is a foam grip.  
   
   
       17 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 11  further comprising at least one O-ring positioned on said cap.  
   
   
       18 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 11  wherein said handle is attached to said plunger by a retainer ring.  
   
   
       19 . The liquid dispensing device of  claim 17  wherein said cap includes two O-rings  
   
   
       20 . A liquid dispensing device comprising: 
 a plunger having a handle attached to one end thereof and a cap on an opposite end thereof, said cap including at least one O-ring positioned thereon;    an exterior barrel shaped to slidingly receive said plunger and including a liquid reservoir therein;    a cleaning head having a spray nozzle therein, said cleaning head rotatably attached to said exterior barrel and including a spray nozzle therein in fluid communication with said reservoir, said spray nozzle including three linearly aligned passages therethrough; and    an umbrella valve between said fluid reservoir and said spray nozzle for selectively allowing fluid flow into said reservoir through all of said passages while preventing fluid flow out of said reservoir through the two outer passages.
