Abstract:

A system utilizing a flaccid tube for delivery of liquids with a spray container is disclosed. This device can be substituted for the usual straight, non-flaccid tubing widely used with liquid dispensing containers. The system consists of a flexible tube and a weight attached to the end which causes the tube to seek the liquid, regardless of bottle or vessel position. The weight is attached to the tubing by a bushing or sleeve which inserts into the distal end of the flexible tube, compressing the tube walls outward resulting in a secure and tight attachment of the weight. The system allows the user to easily spray, squirt or expel liquids from any orientation which includes complete inversion of the container. The weight design components are inexpensive to manufacture, and can be easily attached to an existing spray bottle, and can thus be used, transferred, and re-used multiple times thus conserving resources.
