1. A dispensing apparatus for delivering fluid from a source of fluid when subjected to a positive pressure comprising:
- (a) an actuator cylinder having inlet means for inletting fluid communicating with the source of fluid and an outlet end connectable to orfice means for delivering the fluid to the atmosphere,(b) an actuator piston slideable onto a fixed position delivery tube and the actuator piston being slideable within the actuator cylinder from a first position near the inlet means to a second position toward the outlet end, the piston being hollow and having at least one fluid inlet orifice communicating with the actuator cylinder inlet means when the actuator piston is in the first position but not when the actuator piston is in the second position, and(c) the fixed position delivery tube having an exit end for delivering the fluid from the actuator piston to the orifice means connected to the outlet end of the actuator cylinder and having an entrance means communicating with the actuator piston for delivering fluid from the actuator piston to the delivery tube such that the interior of the delivery tube is in communication with the fluid in the actuator piston when the actuator piston is in its second position but not when the actuator piston is in its first position.

Abstract
A pressure multiplying dispenser for delivering fluid, preferably as a spray to the atmosphere, from a source of fluid, preferably a spray bottle, is described. The dispenser includes in combination a hollow cylindrical member, a nozzle delivery tube within the cylindrical member and a hollow actuator piston slideable within the cylindrical member which acts to multiply the pressure of a squeeze applied to the spray bottle.
