Abstract

A fluid safety dispenser system having a fluid storage container keyed to a fluid dispenser. The container having a valve body positionable in the opening of the container, the valve body having a spring loaded displacement valve to allow fluid passage through the opening of the container when in a displaced and to eliminate fluid passage through the opening of the container when the displacement valve is seated. The keyed fluid dispenser assimilates a syringe and is releasably securable to the valve body for use in depressing the displacement valve by compression of a spring when the keyed fluid dispenser is in position. The keyed fluid dispenser has indicia to provide for exact measurement and can be temporarily coupled to the container to provide a dripless transfer of fluids.

Claims

1. A fluid safety dispenser system comprising:

a container having a bottom, a top, and a continuous side wall there between for storage of fluids, said top having an opening formed from an inner side wall to provide a passageway for the fluids stored therein;

a valve body positionable in said opening, said valve body having a centrally disposed opening;

a displacement valve constructed and arranged to seal said opening in said valve body,

a spring for biasing said displacement valve against said valve body sealing fluids stored in said container from passing through said opening;

a fluid dispenser releasably securable to said valve body, said fluid dispenser formed from a vessel having a syringe to draw fluids from said container; and

means for keying said fluid dispenser to said valve body wherein a properly keyed fluid dispenser is used for coupling to said valve body and drawing fluid from said container.

2. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein valve body is constructed and arranged to be sealingly secured to said inner side wall of said opening at a predetermined position from a top edge of the container.

3. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said fluid dispenser includes measurement indicia to indicate the amount of fluid drawn from said container.

4. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said valve body and said displacement valve are preassembled as an assembly, said assembly insertable into said opening and sealing the fluids held within the container.

5. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said valve body is secured to said top.

6. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said valve body include a notched area beneath said top, said notched area receptive to said protrusions for temporarily securing said fluid dispenser to said valve body.

7. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said upper portion of said container is threaded for receipt of a cap.

8. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said valve body includes at least one groove operatively associated with at least one protrusion positioned on said fluid dispenser wherein said fluid dispenser can be attached to said valve body only when said protrusion and said fluid dispenser are matched.

9. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 8 wherein said groove and said protrusion are constructed and arranged to provide a security match wherein said top must include a matching groove to allow insertion of said fluid dispenser.

10. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said valve body includes at notch means for receipt of said protrusions wherein said fluid dispenser can be temporarily attached to said valve body.

11. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said displacement valve includes at least one groove operatively associated with at least one protrusion positioned on said fluid dispenser wherein said fluid dispenser can be attached to said dispensing valve only when said protrusion and said groove are matched.

12. A fluid safety dispenser system comprising:

a container having a bottom, a top, and a continuous side wall there between for storage of fluids, said top having an opening formed from an inner side wall to provide a passageway for the fluids stored therein;

a keyed valve body positionable in said opening, said keyed valve body having a centrally disposed opening;

a displacement valve constructed and arranged to seal said opening in said valve body,

a spring for biasing said displacement valve against said keyed valve body sealing fluids stored in said container from passing through said opening;

a keyed fluid dispenser releasably securable to said keyed valve body, said keyed fluid dispenser formed from a vessel having a syringe to draw fluids from said container;

wherein said keyed fluid dispenser is used for drawing fluid from said container through said keyed valve body.

13. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 12 wherein said fluid dispenser includes measurement indicia to indicate the amount of fluid drawn from said container.

14. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 12 wherein said valve body includes at least one groove geometrically configured to at least one protrusion positioned on said fluid dispenser wherein said fluid dispenser can be attached to said valve body only when said groove and said fluid dispenser are matched.

15. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 12 wherein said valve body includes at notch means for receipt of said protrusions wherein said fluid dispenser can be temporarily attached to said valve body.

16. A fluid safety dispenser system comprising:

a container having a bottom, a top, and a continuous side wall there between for storage of fluids, said top having an opening formed from an inner side wall to provide a passageway for the fluids stored therein;

a valve body positionable in said opening, said valve body having a centrally disposed opening;

a keyed displacement valve constructed and arranged to seal said centrally disposed opening in said valve body,

a spring for biasing said displacement valve against said valve body sealing fluids stored in said container from passing through said opening;

a keyed fluid dispenser releasably securable to said keyed valve body, said keyed fluid dispenser formed from a vessel having a syringe to draw fluids from said container;

wherein said keyed fluid dispenser is used for drawing fluid from said container through said keyed valve body.

17. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 16 wherein said fluid dispenser includes measurement indicia to indicate the amount of fluid drawn from said container.

18. The fluid safety dispenser system as set forth in claim 16 wherein said displacement body includes at least one groove geometrically configured to at least one protrusion positioned on said fluid dispenser wherein said fluid dispenser can draw fluid only when said groove and said fluid dispenser are matched.
