Abstract:
A fluid delivery system for dispensing fluid can include a dispenser (10), such as a trigger engine-type dispenser, configured to draw fluid up from a container to dispense a foam-like spray. The dispenser (10) can be configured to draw fluid up from a container. A dispenser body can be configured to mount the dispenser to the container. The dispenser can include a nozzle (N) having an orifice (230), and a mesh (M) material can be placed on the nozzle (N) over the orifice (230). The mesh (M) material can be formed of a polymeric material in one example, and in another example, the mesh material can be formed of a stainless steel material. A method of assembling a dispenser configured to draw fluid up from a container is also disclosed, which can include providing a dispenser body configured to mount the dispenser to the container, securing a nozzle having an orifice to the dispenser body, and securing a mesh material to the nozzle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to fluid dispensing devices for use in dispensing different liquids (e.g., bleach and bleach activator) from a bottle having first and second compartments. To minimize the presence of mixed composition residually present within the fluid dispensing device, it may be helpful to delay mixing. Separate dip tubes may be provided to pull liquid from the separate compartments, each with its own separate pump. Each pump may deliver the separate compositions to a spray nozzle of the device through separate delivery tubes (e.g., from the pumps to the nozzle). In other embodiments, a single delivery tube, and/or a single pump may be provided, e.g., where the volume of mixed composition that may be present in such pump and/or delivery tube may be sufficiently small so as to still provide overall desired efficacy characteristics. Dual delivery tube configurations may eliminate any need to prime the device by spraying out old, residual mixed composition.
Abstract:
Provided is a multi-chamber dispenser for dispensing flowable substances, comprising: a body (100) having: a first storage chamber (113) for storing a first flowable substance, a second storage chamber (123) for storing a second flowable substance, a first outlet zone (141), a second outlet zone (142), a first inlet (150) that fluidly connects the first storage chamber (113) with the first outlet zone (141), a second inlet (160) that fluidly connects the second storage chamber (123) with the second outlet zone (142), a first apparatus (154) configured, on operation thereof, to dispense from the first storage chamber (113) via the first inlet (150) into the first outlet zone (141) a first predetermined volume of the first flowable substance, a second apparatus (164) configured, on operation thereof, to dispense from the second storage chamber (123) via the second inlet (160) into the second outlet zone (142) a second predetermined volume of the second flowable substance, and a lever (170) connected to the first and second apparatuses (154, 164) and rotatable relative to the first and second apparatuses (154, 164) between a first position and a second position, wherein rotation of the lever (170) from the first position to the second position causes operation of the first and second apparatuses (154, 164).
Abstract:
The object of the present invention is to improve a pump-dispensing container structured to prevent leakage of liquid caused by slight vertical movements of the nozzle head, to make it easier to push out the liquid when the nozzle head is pressed down first from its highest position.If a primary check valve is configured to open the connection between the inside of the liquid chamber and the inside of the container body in a state in which the liquid chamber is filled with a liquid and the nozzle head is raised to its highest position, when the nozzle head is pressed down from its highest position to push out the liquid, resistance met during the pressing down of the nozzle head is significantly reduced because of the open connection between the inside of the liquid chamber and the inside of the container body, and the liquid can be pushed out easily by applying a small force.
Abstract:
A fluid application system includes a diluent reservoir, a chemical container, a sprayer housing, a manifold located in the sprayer housing, and a pump assembly in fluid communication with an outlet of the manifold. The manifold includes a diluent inlet in fluid communication with the diluent reservoir, a chemical inlet in fluid communication with the container, a mixing chamber in fluid communication with the diluent inlet and the chemical inlet and the outlet of the manifold. The pump assembly draws a mixture of the chemical and the diluent from the manifold and sprays the mixture of the chemical and the diluent from the nozzle.
Abstract:
A pump-equipped container (10) includes a tubular container body (11) that is made of a sheet material having flexibility and a pump device (13) that includes a pump body (15) and a nozzle portion (14). A one-end section of the container body is closed off, and the pump device (13) is attached to the other-end section of the container body. The pump body (15) has an outer-circumferential-surface section (16) that comes into close contact with an inner circumferential surface of the other-end section (11b) of the container body (11). The pump device (13) is attached to the other-end section (11b) of the container body (11) in such a state that the outer-circumferential-surface section (16) is covered with the container body (11) by being brought into close contact with the inner circumferential surface of the other-end section (11b) of the container body (11). The container body (11) is formed using a sheet material having a gas barrier property.
Abstract:
An airless pump and a cosmetic container including the same. The airless pump includes a nozzle of a head and a compression cylinder disposed between the storage container and the nozzle. A sealing cap fixes the compression cylinder. A piston valve and a piston are fastened into an inner compression chamber inside the compression cylinder. An operation pipe is disposed above the sealing cap in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which an operation button is pushed. The operation pipe is actuated and drives the piston and piston valve in the perpendicular direction. A spring is disposed between the operation pipe and the sealing cap. A slider axially is axially coupled to the operation pipe in the perpendicular direction. The slider is actuated by the operation button to horizontally reciprocate in a direction, thereby driving the operation pipe in the perpendicular direction.
Abstract:
A “Flair® Sprayer” can be provided with no dip tube, and can be capable of being used in any orientation, including upside down. Using a unique valving system, where the product delivery circuit is a closed system, a Flair Sprayer can pump out any gas in a bottle's headspace and the product/liquid always reaches the pump intake, even with no dip tube. A dispensing device can have separate product and re-venting/propellant circuits, isolated one from the other, allowing for longer life and freshness of the product. Air or other displacement media can be used for various ancillary functions, all the while remaining isolated from the product, and the dispensing of the product can be adeptly controlled by pressure differentials (under-pressures and overpressures).
Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus for containing a pressurized composition, said dispensing apparatus comprising: a reservoir for containing a composition; an actuator head comprising a side wall having an interior surface, said actuator head forming a dispensing orifice through said side wall; a displaceable flow conduit comprising a proximal end in fluid communication with said reservoir and a distal end forming a flow conduit orifice, said distal end being movably engaged with said interior surface of said actuator head; and an intermediate member interposed between said interior surface and said distal end and forming an aperture; and wherein said displaceable flow conduit is biased to an at-rest position and can be movably actuated to at least partially engage said intermediate member in a dispense position, thereby at least partially aligning said dispensing orifice with said flow conduit orifice.
