    Abstract: A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

    Abstract: A dispensing tap for liquids includes a body connected to the neck of a container, a dispensing head with an outlet or mouth, and a throat connecting the body to the dispensing head. A shut off valve is configured for sealing engagement with the mouth of the dispensing head, and a piston is axially guided within the dispensing head. The piston includes a peripheral seal slidably engaged with an interior surface of the dispensing head, and a valve stem coupled to the shut off valve. The piston is selectively actuable between a normally closed position an open position. A vent is in communication with an interior of the body and the vent is opened and closed with movement of the piston and shut off valve.

    Abstract: A dispensing pump (10) includes a removable chaplet (28) to facilitate removal of the internal metal spring components (44) for recycling. The dispensing pump (10) includes an accumulator (12) having an upper rim wall (24). The chaplet (28) is coaxially snap received about the rim wall (24) of the accumulator (12). The chaplet (28) has a body portion (30) received within the rim wall (24), and an outer wall (32) received outside of the rim wall (24). The outer wall (32) has a frangible wall portion (48) and a pull tab (50) at a terminal edge thereof. A dispensing head (36) with a piston stem (38) and spring (44) are coaxially guided within the chaplet (28) and accumulator (12). When the container is empty, the user pulls on the pull tab (50) to sever the frangible elements, releasing the chaplet (28) and allowing easy removal of the dispensing head (36) and the metallic spring component (44).

    Abstract: A dispensing pump includes a polymer compression spring assembly, base vents and a flow baffle. The dispensing pump includes a pump base, and a dispensing head having a piston stem. The polymer compression spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element and first and second loading cones received at opposing ends of the slotted tubular spring element. The venting ports allow air to escape when capping the container after filling and the flow baffle reduces or prevents the product from being pulled into the pump accumulator before residual air (headspace) has been evacuated from the container during the initial priming strokes.

    Abstract: A dispensing pump for liquids, viscous materials, foams, gels, etc. includes a resilient plastic skirt spring so that the entire pump can be more easily recycled. The skirt spring comprises a plurality of concentric nesting rings sequentially decreasing in diameter from a base ring to a top ring to form a conical shape wherein adjacent rings are interconnected by spaced bridge segments and the bridge segments are staggered at each sequential ring.
