Abstract

A trigger dispenser device ( 1 ) envisages a secondary liquid aspiration duct ( 50 ) in communication with the dispenser duct, and a primary liquid aspiration duct ( 8 ) in communication with the container, off-axis with each other. Between these, a joining compartment ( 64 ) is provided communicating upstream with the primary liquid aspiration duct ( 8 ) and communicating downstream with the secondary liquid aspiration duct ( 50 ) to form the fluidic connection between them. In particular, the container (C) is of the type with built-in suction pipe.

 at least one seal ring projecting from the circumferential connection projection; and 
 at least one connector; 
   a dip tube connector comprising:
 at least one connector lip snapped over the at least one connector and attaching the dip tube connector to the valve body; 
 at least one plug seal ring sealed against the at least one seal ring; and 
   a fluid chamber formed between the dip tube connector and valve body.   
     
     
         2 . The pump system of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a connector head in the dip tube connector, wherein the at least one connector lip is positioned on a periphery of the connector head; and   a port extending off of the connector head, comprising a port outlet in the connector head and a port inlet in an end of the port opposite the connector head.   
     
     
         3 . The pump system of  claim 2 , wherein the port inlet is in communication with the fluid chamber. 
     
     
         4 . A pump system, comprising:
 a trigger sprayer comprising a valve body, the valve body comprising:
 a circumferential connection projection extending downward off the valve body; 
 at least one seal ring projecting from the circumferential connection projection; and 
 at least one connector; 
   a dip tube connector attached to the valve body, the dip tube connector comprising:
 a connector head; 
 a port extending off of the connector head, the port comprising an outlet in the connector head and an inlet opposite the outlet; 
 at least one connector lip connected to the at least one connector; 
 at least one plug seal ring sealed against the at least one seal ring; 
   a fluid chamber formed between the dip tube connector and valve body, wherein the outlet of the port is in communication with the fluid chamber.   
     
     
         5 . The pump system of  claim 4 , further comprising a container and a dip tube in the container, wherein the container is connected to the valve body and the inlet of the port of the dip tube connector seals with the dip tube. 
     
     
         6 . The pump system of  claim 4 , further comprising a container and a dip tube in the container, wherein the container is connected to the valve body and a portion of the port of the dip tube connector is sealed against a portion of the dip tube adjacent the inlet of the port. 
     
     
         7 . The pump system of  claim 6 , wherein the port further comprises at least one seal sealed against the dip tube. 
     
     
         8 . A dispenser system, comprising:
 a container;   a container aperture in the top of the container;   a functional wall in the container;   an auxiliary liquid aspiration opening in the functional wall;   a dispenser head attached to the container relative to the container aperture, the dispenser head including a frame;   at least one connector in the frame;   an auxiliary body, comprising a collar attached with the at least one connector and retaining the auxiliary body with the frame; and   a duct formed between the frame and the auxiliary body.   
     
     
         9 . The dispenser system of  claim 8 , wherein the auxiliary body further comprises:
 an auxiliary body head, wherein the collar is positioned about a periphery of the auxiliary body head; and   a liquid aspiration duct extending off of the auxiliary body head, comprising a duct outlet in the auxiliary body head and a duct inlet in an end of the liquid aspiration duct opposite the auxiliary body head and seated in the auxiliary liquid aspiration opening.   
     
     
         10 . The dispenser system of  claim 9 , wherein at least a portion of the liquid aspiration duct adjacent the duct inlet is sealed against at least a portion of the functional wall. 
     
     
         11 . The dispenser system of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 an annular lip extending downward of the frame towards the container;   the annular lip providing a seal at a lower outer edge projecting from the annular lip; and   an annular groove in the auxiliary body, wherein the annular groove seals against the seal at the lower outer edge of the annular lip.   
     
     
         12 . A dispenser device for dispensing a liquid from a container, comprising:
 a dispenser head including a frame, the frame comprising:
 an annular lip extending downward of the frame; 
 the annular lip providing a seal at a lower outer edge thereof; and 
 a connector; 
   an auxiliary body comprising:
 a collar attached to the connector and attaching the auxiliary body to the frame; and 
 an annular groove sealed against the seal at the lower outer edge of the annular lip; and 
   a duct formed between the auxiliary body and the frame.   
     
     
         13 . The dispenser device of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 an auxiliary body head in the auxiliary body, wherein the collar is positioned on a periphery of the auxiliary body head; and   a liquid aspiration duct extending off of the auxiliary body head, comprising a duct outlet in the auxiliary body head and a duct inlet in an end of the liquid aspiration duct opposite the auxiliary body head.   
     
     
         14 . The dispenser device of  claim 13 , wherein the duct inlet is in communication with the duct formed between the auxiliary body and the frame. 
     
     
         15 . A dispenser device for dispensing a liquid from a container, comprising:
 a dispenser head including a frame, the frame comprising:
 an annular lip extending downward of the frame; 
 the annular lip providing a seal at a lower outer edge thereof; and 
 a connector; 
   an auxiliary body attached to the frame, the auxiliary body comprising:
 an auxiliary body head; 
 a liquid aspiration duct extending off of the auxiliary body head, the liquid aspiration duct comprising an outlet in the auxiliary body head and an inlet opposite the outlet; 
 a collar attached to the connector; 
 an annular groove sealed against the seal at the lower outer edge of the annular lip; and 
   a duct formed between the auxiliary body and the frame, wherein the outlet of the liquid aspiration duct is in communication with the duct formed between the auxiliary body and the frame.   
     
     
         16 . The dispenser device of  claim 15 , further comprising a container and a functional wall in the container, wherein the container is connected to the frame and the inlet of the liquid aspiration duct of the auxiliary body seals with the functional wall. 
     
     
         17 . The dispenser device of  claim 15 , further comprising a container and a functional wall in the container, wherein the container is connected to the frame and a portion of the liquid aspiration duct of the auxiliary body is sealed against a portion of the functional wall adjacent the inlet of the liquid aspiration duct.
