- FIG. 2 is a back elevational view of the trigger sprayer shown in FIG. 1 and is taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
- FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the trigger sprayer shown in FIG. 2 and is taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2.
- FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the skeletal body of the trigger sprayer as shown in FIG. 3 but with other parts of the sprayer omitted.
- FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional view of the shroud as shown in FIG. 3 but with other parts of the sprayer omitted.
- FIG. 6 is a front elevational view of the shroud shown in FIG. 5 and is taken along line 6-6 of FIG. 5.
- FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the shroud as shown in FIG. 1 but with other portions of the trigger sprayer omitted.
- FIG. 8 is a top plan view of the shroud shown in FIG.7 and is taken along line 8-8 of FIG. 7.
- FIG. 9 is a bottom plan view of the shroud shown in FIG. 7 and is taken along the line 9-9 of FIG. 7.
- FIG. 10 is a back elevational view of the skeletal body shown in FIG. 4 and is taken along line 10-10 of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 11 is a front elevational view of the skeletal body shown in FIG. 4 and is taken along line 11-11 of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 12 is a top plan view of the skeletal body shown in FIG. 4 and is taken along line 12-12 of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 13 is a bottom plan view of the skeletal body shown in FIG. 4 and is taken along line 13-13 of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 1 a trigger sprayer 10 comprising a shroud (shell, housing or cover) 12, a trigger 14, a nozzle 16, a bottle cap 18, and a skeletal body 20 (FIGS. 3 and 4) .
- the shroud 12 and skeletal body 20 of the present invention include the shroud 12, constructed in the manner shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 including skeletal body engaging structure to be described hereinafter in greater detail for engaging the skeletal body 20 constructed in the manner shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and including shroud engaging structure to be described hereinafter in greater detail for engaging the shroud 12.
- the skeletal body 20 includes a lower cylindrical portion 22, an upright body portion 24, a piston receiving cylindrical portion 26 extending forward from the upright body portion 24 and receiving a piston 28 therein, and a waterway defining portion 30 having a waterway 32 therein and being located above the piston receiving cylindrical portion 26 and extending forwardly of the upright body portion 24.
- the waterway defining portion 30 has a nose bushing 34 at a forward distal end thereof for receiving the nozzle 16.
- the skeletal body 20 includes shroud engaging structure defined as follows:
- a generally square flat plate 40 mounted at an upper end of a cross bar 42 extending a short distance from and above the waterway defining portion 30 and side flanges 43A and 43B at the upper end of the upright body portion 24; and, (c) a planer shelf 44 extending rearwardly from the skeletal body 20 below the hook member 36 and inter ⁇ connected therewith by a web 46.
- a webbing 48 extends between the cross bar 42 and the upright body portion 24 and above the waterway defining portion 30, as shown.
- Another webbing 50 extends from and below the waterway defining portion 30 angularly to the upright body portion 24.
- a valve structure 52 (which can be of the type disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,669,664) co-acts with an intake body 54 received in the lower cylinder portion 22.
- the shroud 12 is a specially configured shell or housing having a top wall 60, opposite sidewalls 62 and 64, an irregularly shaped, partially inclined, backwall 66, and a bottom wall 68 extending forwardly a short distance from the backwall 66.
- the shroud 12 has on the inside thereof skeletal body engaging structure including: (d) a latch bar 70 extending between the walls 62 and 64 and located as so as to be engaged by the hook formation 38 of the hook member 36; (e) an upper rib 71, 72 extending inwardly from the inner surface of each sidewall 62, 64 a short distance and extending forwardly of the shroud 12 parallel to and a short distance below the inner surface of the top wall 60 so to form a slot 73, 74 therebetween for receiving, in a secure manner, the plate 40 in FIG. 3 and flanges 43A and 43B as shown in FIG.
