MULTIPLE PURPOSE NOZZLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Products to be dispensed, such as consumer products, are generally contained in a variety of packages. Some are dispensed from squeeze" bottles, containers bearing pumps or other product propelling mechanisms. In most instances, the dispensing mechanisms are protected against accidental product discharge or leakage either during shipment, storage or display on retail shelves or racks. For such purposes, safety or overcaps, pins, and plugs among other approaches have been employed with various degrees of success. Some have been ineffectual for one reason or another, while others costly because of the relatively high expense of manufacture. More importantly, once the safety mechanism was deactivated, the product could thereafter be accidentally or inadvertently discharged. In addition, the available discharge pattern of the prior art packages was as a rule fixed and not selectively variable by the consumer.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a multipurpose nozzle for the discharge mechanism of bottles or containers which may assume a first position at which the mechanism is closed or sealed against premature, accidental or inadvertent discharge or leakage of the product to be dispensed and one or more other positions at which the product may be dispensed in a corresponding number of discharge patterns depending on the selection of the consumer.
Another object is to provide a multipurpose nozzle of the foregoing type that embodies relatively few parts, each individually simple and inexpensive to manufacture and assemble, thereby maintaining nozzle cost at an absolute minimum.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention which is to be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line 10-40 of FIG. 8.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The multipurpose nozzle illustrated in the drawings is comprised of only two parts, tubular member 20 and cap 22. The tubular member 20 may form part or be an integral extension of the discharge end of a dispenser which may assume any one of a number of varieties, as for example, a pump actuated dispenser, aerosol dispenser or squeeze bottle type of dispenser to mention a few. The tubular member 20 is provided with a tubular extension 24 which cooperates in defining a pair of spaced stop shoulders 26 and 28, the engagement of which aids in locating the cap 2.2 when orienting the nozzle in one of its plurality of discharge positionsThe tubular extension 24 includes a free end 30 having staggered recess 32 for cooperating with the cap 22 in producing a spray and a channel 34 for cooperating with this cap in producing a stream. The recess 32 and channel 34 extends into a pair of opposed peripheral slots 36 and 38, both of which also communicate with bore 40 extending through the tubular member 20 and through which the material to be dispensed is adapted to pass.
The cap 20 is adapted to be rotatively disposed about the tubular extension 24 between a closed position at which the material to be dispensed is sealed and may not be discharged and either of the two dispensing positions for discharging a spray or stream. The cap 22 includes a substantially flat end wall 42 from which ex tends the tubular skirt 44. The skirt 44 is provided with a projection 46 which has a shoulder 48 adapted to engage with shoulder 26 in locating one of the discharge positions and shoulder 50 which engages with shoulder 28 upon turning of the cap 22 in locating the other discharge position. Towards this end, the end wall 42 is provided with a discharge opening 51 which is adapted to be aligned with the recess 32 and channel 34 in these extreme discharge positions, respectively. A centrally located boss 52 extends coaxially from the inner face of the end wall 42. The end wall on this boss 52 is pro vided with a transversely extending slot 54. This slot is adapted to communicate the bore 40 with the peripherals 36 and 38 in permitting discharge through the orifice 51. The inner wall of the skirt 44 may include a continuous recess 56 which is adapted to accommodate the continuous bead 58 upon the extension 24 in securing the cap on this extension.
When the cap 22 is turned the boss closes off the bore 40 and the material to be dispensed is not permitted to enter into the peripheral slots 36 and 38 through the transverse slot 54.
In operation and assuming that it is desired to initially dispense a product in a spray pattern, the cap 22 will be turned and oriented on the tubular member 20 as shown in FIGS. 3 to 4. In this position, the product is adapted to pass from the bore 40 into-the peripheral slots 36 and 38, into the passage 32 and out through the discharge orifice 51. In this position, the shoulder 48 will be engaged with shoulder 26 to maintain the cap 22 in this discharge position.
Upon turning and rotating of the cap 22 in a counterclockwise direction, approximately 90 degrees of the boss 52 will seal off the bore 40 and prevent any dis charge of the product to be dispensed as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. Upon turning of the cap 22 approximately 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction, the discharge opening 51 will be aligned with the channel 34 to permit discharge of the product in a stream as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10. In this position, the shoulder 50 is in engagement with shoulder 28.
When it is desired to seal off the bore once again, the cap need only be turned approximately 90 degrees in a clockwise direction.
Thus, the several aforegoing objects and advantages are most effectively attained. Although a single, somewhat preferred embodiment of the invention has been disclosed and described in detail herein, it should be understood that this invention is in no sense limited thereby and its scope is to be determined by that of the appended claims.
