Abstract:
An improved foam generation assembly for a container includes a foam generator for producing foam. Two channels allow air or liquid into the foam generator. However, if one channel provides air for the foam generator, then the other channel provides liquid. A tube is attached to one channel, and extends near the base of the container. Thus, when the container is in is squeezed while in a generally upright position, liquid enters the tube and passes through a channel into the foam generator. Air enters the foam generator through the other channel. When the container is squeezed in a generally inverted position, air enters the tube and passes through a channel into the foam generator. Liquid enters the foam generator through the other channel. A valve is provided to seal the channels when foam is not being produced by the foam generator. A vent located in the exterior of the foam generation assembly allows air to return to the container.
Abstract:
The invention relates generally to a foam dispenser having a reservoir, a housing, and a chamber. The reservoir delivers fluid to the housing and the chamber through a dip-tube. The chamber moves within the housing in response to fluid pressure or air pressure from the reservoir, allowing air and foamable liquid to enter the chamber. Foam-producing packing material inside the chamber causes the air and foamable liquid to mix and produce foam.
Abstract:
A device for dispensing a fluid product includes a reservoir configured to contain a fluid product and air, a spray orifice associated with the reservoir, and a dip tube. The reservoir may include at least one deformable zone having a predetermined threshold resistance to deformation. The deformable zone may be configured to deform in response to pressure exerted on the deformable zone so as to cause the product to be sprayed out from the orifice. When pressure exerted on the deformable zone is less than a threshold pressure Ps sufficient to overcome the predetermined threshold resistance to deformation of the deformable zone, the internal volume of the reservoir is not substantially reduced.

Abstract:
A spray dispensing device is provided which can be used with non-pressurized containers. The device includes passageways for directing streams of air and, liquid where the liquid is broken up into droplets and emitted as a fine spray through an orifice. An annular air passageway is concentrically disposed around a liquid passageway, and the air is lead through air swirl passages, where the annular stream of air is given a rotary motion as the result of swirl vanes forming the air swirl passages. The velocity of air past a product passageway exit orifice also creates a Bernoulli effect which reduces pressure at that orifice, which acts to draw liquid to the spray orifice. The device may include a dip tube for the liquid which is provided with a check valve for retaining liquid at a high level in the dip tube after each spray cycle so that spraying is nearly instantaneous upon actuation. Several embodiments of reciprocating closure valves may be used to close the orifice to prevent drying withing the product passageway.
Abstract:
A dispenser has a hollow housing with sidewalls, a base and a top. The top has a cylinder for receiving piston, and a catch for permitting limited movement of the piston within the cylinder. The piston having an inlet valve for allowing air into the cylinder. The cylinder has an outlet valve which forces air into the housing. The dispenser has a tri-purpose nozzle. The nozzle has a dispensing orifice at one end and is biased in an open up position. The piston is suspended from the bottom surface of the nozzle. As such, the nozzle acts as the pump for slidably moving the piston within the cylinder. The top has a fluid outlet port opposite the position of the cylinder. The nozzle is rotatably connected to the top. In addition, there is a structure for fluidly connecting the fluid outlet port to the nozzle. That is, when the nozzle is pumped downward, the nozzle is aligned with the fluid outlet port via the structure for fluidly connecting so as to permit a fluid to travel from the housing, through the fluid outlet port, through the structure for fluidly connecting, through the nozzle and out the dispensing orifice. When the nozzle springs back to its resting position, the nozzle and fluid outlet port are not in alignment, thereby preventing air and fluid from flowing out the housing. The nozzle and structure for fluidly connecting thus acting as a valve.
Abstract:
A dispensing container is produced from a disposable flexible, collapsible inner container surrounded by a resilient outer container. A dispensing cap assembly is removably coupled to the outer container to define a dispensing outlet for the contents of the inner container. The dispensing cap assembly includes a cap having an outlet coupled to the inner container. The inner container is attached to a support hanger which in turn is supported by the outer container. The cap has a dispensing outlet coaxially disposed with the outlet of the inner container. A dispensing check valve is provided in the cap assembly to allow the material to be dispensed without air being drawn into the container at the end of the dispensing cycle. The contents of the inner container are dispensed by squeezing the outer container to deform the side walls and create an increased pressure within the outer container causing the contents to be expelled through the dispensing check valve. The side walls are then allowed to relax which draws air into the container through air inlet check valve. The support hanger includes a depending skirt extending about midway into the outer container. The inner container is attached to the lower end of the skirt and at the upper end of the hanger.
Abstract:
A composite container for low viscosity liquids, capable of discharging the contents completely, without producing dripping of liquids after discharging adhesives, medicines, foods, ink and other low viscosity liquids. The container includes an inner container which contains the contents and includes an opening for discharging the contents, and an outer casing container covering the inner container body. A pressure medium is interposed between the inner container body and the outer casing container.
Abstract:
A rechargeable device for spraying a fluid in a mist-like manner. The device includes an actuator head and a removable tank containing the fluid. The actuator head includes an actuator member that is movable between a predetermined high position and a predetermined low position. The removable tank includes a neck in which a pump is engaged. The pump has a hollow pump body which defines a cylindrical pump chamber filled with the fluid and in which a piston slides. Extending from the piston is a hollow actuator rod through which the fluid leaves the pump. The pump chamber is in communication with the fluid contained in the tank. A pushbutton fitted with a lateral outlet nozzle is fixed to the actuator rod of the pump, such that the actuator member presses against the pushbutton to actuate the pump. The neck of the tank includes a removable plug on which the pump is fixed. The device further includes an angular positioning mechanism for positioning the lateral nozzle angularly relative to the actuator head, and an accurate axial positioning mechanism for positioning the pump at a predetermined position. The pump body is engaged in sealing contact with the neck of the tank to establish communication with the fluid contained in the tank.
