Abstract:
A hand-held applicator (10) for self-administration of a semi-solid medicament comprises an applicator head (14) with one or more elongate dispensing nozzles (40) and an applicator body (12) for housing a medicament reservoir, such as a cartridge (20). The applicator has a pump assembly and an actuator (30) for pumping the medicament from the one or more of the dispensing nozzles. The applicator head and applicator body are fixed relative to each other in use such that movement of the nozzle or nozzles away from the scalp or other body area during actuation may be avoided. The applicator may further include an application face for spreading medicament over a body area thereby enabling dual functionality as a scalp and body applicator. A dispensing system in the form of a dispensing head and cartridge therefor is also described and characterised by venting features for improving priming of the dispenser. Such priming means are suitable for use in the applicators of the application.
Abstract:
A filtering nozzle assembly or spray head has a conformal nozzle component engineered to generate a filtered spray and configured as a small cylindrical member having a substantially open proximal end and a substantially closed distal end wall with a centrally located discharge orifice defined therein. Optionally, cup-shaped filtered orifice defining member also includes a fluidic circuit's oscillation inducing geometry molded into the cup or directly into the distal surface of a sealing post and the one-piece filter cup provides the fluidic circuit's discharge orifice.
Abstract:
A trigger dispenser device (1) is for dispensing a liquid comprises a container (C) and a dispenser head (20). The head includes a frame (22) having a pressure chamber (24) and a secondary liquid aspiration duct (50), and an auxiliary body (2) attached to the frame (22). The auxiliary body is provided with a primary liquid aspiration duct (8) and an air aspiration chamber (4b). Between the frame (22) and the auxiliary body (2) a merger compartment (64) is formed and the air aspiration chamber (4b) surrounds the merger compartment (64) so as to seal it.
Abstract:
To provide an accumulation valve which is stable and moves sensitively, where the number of parts has been reduced, and an accumulator trigger sprayer assembled with the same.The present invention is an accumulation valve S used in an accumulator trigger sprayer 100 which imparts pressure to liquid in a cylinder by a piston portion 11 to spray liquid from a nozzle portion 5a to the outside, the accumulation valve S including a piston valve portion 21, a spring portion 22 for pressing the piston valve portion 21 to a piston valve seat, and a mounting portion 23 for mounting the spring portion 22 to the piston portion 11, wherein the piston valve portion 21, the spring portion 22 and the mounting portion 23 are formed integrally.
Abstract:
A fluid container spray device having a trigger lock mechanism with trigger tabs extending outwardly from the trigger and cleats extending inwardly from a moveable shroud. The cleats obstruct the tabs when the shroud is in a trigger lock position. A lever extending from beneath the shroud can be depressed, thereby moving the shroud from the trigger lock position to a trigger release position. The movement of the shroud to the trigger release position moves the connected cleats from their obstructive position to a position out of the trigger tabs' path of movement, thereby permitting use of the trigger to pump fluid from the container. The shroud is biased toward the trigger lock position. Thus, release of the container by the user restores the locked configuration, thereby preventing use by children.
Abstract:
A dispenser device head (1) of a liquid is provided with a nozzle (20) comprising a lateral wall (30) having through signalling apertures (40) defining a caption or symbol to highlight a functioning configuration.
Abstract:
Described is a fluid dispensing container having a bottle and fluid withdrawing assembly for liquids, such as liquid cleaners and the like. The bottle has an integral dip tube formed therein connecting at a landing below the top of the bottle neck, fluidly connecting the inside of the bottle with the top opening of the bottle. A fluid dispensing mechanism, such as a pump or trigger-sprayer, is attached to the top of the bottle to take fluid up through the integral dip tube and dispense the fluid accordingly. The fluid dispensing mechanism may be aligned to allow a direct connection between integral dip tube and the fluid dispensing mechanism at a landing below the bottle opening. The fluid dispensing mechanism may be attached to the bottle with a snap-fit connection.
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:
Pre-compression valve systems for trigger sprayers include one-piece valve systems having both check and pre-compression valves or multiple component valve systems.
Abstract:
Dispensing systems facilitates formation and dispensation of a use solution from a solid concentrate. The dispensing system may include a cartridge attached to a spray bottle or other dispensing apparatus. The cartridge defines a reservoir configured to store a solid product concentrate. A diluent, such as water, is placed in a fluid reservoir of the dispensing apparatus. Activation of a dispensing mechanism, such as a trigger, creates a vacuum in the cartridge reservoir, opening a valve and drawing diluent from the fluid reservoir into the cartridge reservoir and onto the solid product. The flow of diluent onto the solid product causes a portion of the solid product to be dissolved, eroded, and/or otherwise mixed with the diluent to form a use solution. Actuation of the dispense mechanism may further draw the use solution from the cartridge reservoir and dispense the use solution through the nozzle.
