Product description
The plastic injection molded articles, part number M0053, a Valve Bushing and part number M0054, a Valve, are components of a dispensing device previously ruled upon in NY N258022, dated November 5, 2014. As described in NY N258022, the dispensing device acts as an interface between paint containers and a paint dispensing machine. The device can only operate when it is attached to a dispensing lid and placed into the dispensing machine. The device, when positioned in the dispensing machine, engages as an electro-mechanical motor actuator that actuates the plunger stem in an upwards position of the syringe device to draw paint from the container. Another motor drive actuates the Valve, allowing a proper amount of paint to be dispensed from the device. The Valve, part number M0054, closes after the proper amount of paint has been dispensed. Part numbers M0053, a Valve Bushing, and M0054, a Valve, are designed as integral components of this dispensing device.
