EP2740541A3 — Fluid dispensing device for discharging fluid simultaneously in multiple directions

USPTO Abstract

A fluid dispensing device (100), comprising: a container (102) having a connection end (104) defining an opening (106); and a cap assembly defining a cap axis (118) and a discharge orifice oriented at a deflection angle relative to the cap axis, the cap assembly including: a cap (116) having a side wall rotatably coupled to the container and defining an internal chamber (128) fluidly communicating with the container opening, wherein rotation of the cap relative to the container actuates the cap between an open position and a closed position; and a deflector (140) coupled to the side wall (126) of the cap and including a deflector surface defining a discharge path extending between the container opening and the discharge orifice; wherein the cap assembly is configured to permit fluid flow through the discharge path when the cap (116) is in the open position and prevent fluid flow through the discharge path when the cap is in the closed position (Figure 4).
