摘要： A manual pump fluid dispenser has a base (112) and a dispensing cap (114) with a dispenser outlet (144′) mounted to the base. Insert (116) is mounted between the base and the cap to define at least one pump chamber (122, 123). The insert engages with the base to define an inlet through which a liquid can be drawn into the at least one pump chamber from a liquid source. The insert has a central core (176) and a resiliently flexible upper diaphragm member (184) projecting upwardly and radially outwardly from the core for contact with the cap to define the at least one pump chamber. The insert is movable between an initial resiliently biased configuration in which the volume of the at least one pump chamber (122, 123) is at a maximum and a deformed configuration in which the volume of the at least one pump chamber is at a minimum, in the deformed configuration, the upper diaphragm (184) is at least partially folded down about itself and/or the core. Other aspects of the dispenser are described and claimed.

摘要： A nozzle arrangement connected to a source of pressurized fluid mat produces a series of fast pulsed discharges of fluid in quick succession wherein the nozzle arrangement comprises a nozzle body with an inlet for the pressurized fluid into a chamber with a downstream wall with an outlet hole in said chamber wall wherein a prodder moves between a sealed and unsealed position in said outlet hole of the chamber wall and wherein a sprung plunger that is upstream of and connected to said prodder and has a annular seal that forms a seal between said plunger and the chamber creating a mobile chamber wall upstream of the downstream wall in said chamber, simultaneously moves between a downstream and an upstream position as the chamber fills with the fluid and then returns to a downstream position as the prodder returns from an unsealed position to a sealed position while the fluid is discharged.

摘要： A pressurised dispenser valve (110) has a valve housing (111) with at least one fluid inlet (127, 128) though which a fluid present in an associated dispenser may pass to enter the valve housing. The at least one fluid inlet is formed at least partly by, or in a resiliency deformable portion (124, 125) of the valve housing. The deformable portion (124, 125) is arranged such that, in use when the valve is opened, it deforms from an initial resiliency biased configuration in which the fluid inlet (127, 128) has an initial cross sectional area to a deformed configuration in which the fluid inlet has an altered cross sectional area in response to a pressure differential between the interior of the housing and the exterior of the housing. The change in cross sectional area of the inlet can be made to vary independence on the pressure in the canister and can be used to control the rate of flow of the fluid through the inlet as the pressure in the canister falls during use.

摘要： A nozzle arrangement that produces an atomised spray or foam wherein the nozzle arrangement comprises a nozzle body with an inlet for a pressurized fluid into a chamber with an outlet orifice in the downstream wall and a prodder with a tapered conical tip wherein the prodder is inside of said chamber and at least part of the tip of the prodder protrudes inside the outlet orifice creating at least one circumferential gap between the prodder tip and the outlet orifice whereby the fluid spins around at least part of the prodder tip and out through the circumferential gap and produces an atomized spray or foam with a substantially full cone shape.

摘要： An aerosol dispenser has a canister to contain a liquid product to be dispensed together with a propellant present at least partly as a gas and valve (10) to control the release of the liquid product from the canister. The dispenser also has a vapour phase tap for introducing a portion of the gaseous propellant into the liquid product as it is dispensed. The invention is characterised in that the dispenser has a flow control means for varying the rate at which the propellant gas is introduced into the liquid product through the vapour phase tape in dependence on the pressure of the contents of the canister. The flow control means can be used to reduce the amount of propellant gas bled into the liquid product, particularly when the dispenser is full and the pressure in the canister is high, as a means of conserving the propellant gas.

摘要： A non-electrically powered automatic dosing and spraying valve assembly for a container of pressurized fluid with an outlet valve is described, wherein the valve assembly comprises a housing containing at least two chambers wherein one of those chambers is a main chamber open at one end to the contents of the container and closed at one end by a movable plunger, and another of those chambers is a dose chamber closed at one end by the movable plunger and closed at the other end by a prodder seal formed between a movable prodder and a fluid outlet opening; wherein the movable plunger is biased against movement toward the dose chamber by a main spring means and a prodder spring means, the main spring means being mounted in or adjacent to the dose chamber and the prodder spring means being connected to both the movable plunger and movable prodder, the assembly further comprises a fluid leak path between the main chamber and the dose chamber; and wherein the assembly is arranged such that, in use, one movable component of the assembly is configured to move relative to another component of the assembly to temporarily expose the dose chamber to the full fluid pressure of the main chamber.

摘要： The present invention relates to a device that is adapted to be placed inside a container and to permit the continuous dispensing of a liquid stored in a container by enabling the fluid to be drawn from the interior of the container into the device and from the device to the outlet of the container. The device has a body which defines an internal chamber, an inlet through which liquid may be drawn into the chamber, and an outlet through which liquid can be drawing out of the chamber. The inlet of the device is adapted to restrict the access of liquid to the chamber when the device is inverted from a upright position. The present invention also relates to a dip tube and various container assemblies that are likewise adapted to permit the continuous dispensing of a liquid stored in a container.

摘要： A nozzle arrangement adapted for a pump dispenser, e.g. a manually-operated pump dispenser, that is activated by an actuation stroke of an actuator or a trigger handle to dispense a fluid from a container as a spray, e.g. an atomised spray, a foam, a gel, a paste or a liquid, wherein the nozzle arrangement is positioned downstream of, and in fluid communication with, a pump chamber of the dispenser and the nozzle arrangement comprises: an expansion chamber having an inlet and an outlet; and a movable plunger disposed within the expansion chamber, the movable plunger being arranged such that it can move, in use, in an upstream and downstream direction to vary the volume of the expansion chamber, wherein the plunger is biased by a resiliently deformable component such as a spring, the resiliently deformable component providing a biasing force in the downstream direction; wherein, in use, the actuation stroke causes the fluid to enter the expansion chamber at a faster rate than the fluid can be discharged from the expansion chamber via the outlet, whereby a pressure build-up within the expansion chamber pushes the plunger in the upstream direction against the biasing force provided by the resiliently deformable component such that fluid entering the expansion chamber is discharged via the outlet during the actuation stroke and after the actuation stroke, due to the biasing force provided by the resiliently deformable component causing the plunger to move in the downstream direction, thereby causing fluid to be discharged via the outlet.

摘要： A manually actuated pump type fluid dispenser has a casing (118) defining an internal cavity and a pump member (101) at least partly located in the cavity. The pump member has a central core (101)a and first and second seal members (101b, 101c) projecting radially outwardly of the core and spaced in an axial direction of the core for contact with the casing to define a pump chamber within the cavity. A region (112) of the core between the first and second seal members is resiliently deformable from an initial resiliently biased configuration in which the first and second seal members are axially spaced by a first amount and an axially compressed configuration in which the seal members are spaced by a second amount which is less than the first amount to reduce the volume of the pump chamber.
