Abstract:
Enhanced structures, devices, and techniques allow fluids and liquid products, such as cosmetics, to be applied in a cleaner and more effective manner. Various embodiments of fluid dispensing apparatuses are provided which employ fluid communication materials for promoting effective and repeatable fluid dispensing during use and resisting unwanted migration of fluids during non-use.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, the invention provides enhanced structures, devices, and techniques that allow fluids and liquid products, such as cosmetics, to dispense in a more even, smoother, and more predictable manner from fluid containers.
Abstract:
A dispensing device includes a container defining a reservoir containing a liquid and a porous applicator for dispensing the liquid. Another dispensing device includes two containers attached to each other, where the first container defines a reservoir containing a first liquid and a porous applicator for dispensing liquid and the second container contains a second liquid that may be dispensed via application of a force.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, the invention provides enhanced structures, devices, and techniques that allow fluids and liquid products, such as cosmetics, to dispense in a more even, smoother, and more predictable manner from fluid containers. In one embodiment, a plug is positioned within at least a portion of an interior of a nozzle of a fluid container. The plug may include a base portion having at least one fluid flow opening formed therein and a bellows portion. In operation, the bellows portion may expand to an elongated state upon application of a threshold fluid pressure to create a pathway for communicating fluid, and may contract to a compressed state which creates a fluid communication seal between a fluid repository and dispensing orifice of the fluid container.

Abstract:
A container that stores and dispenses a fluid agent container comprises a flexible body portion, a duckbill valve, and a cap. The flexible body portion defines an internal cavity; the internal cavity is configured to store the fluid agent therein; and an opening is defined in the body portion. The duckbill valve is coupled to the opening of the body portion, with the duckbill valve being configurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration such that the duckbill valve prevents the flow of the fluid agent out of the internal cavity when the duckbill valve is in the closed configuration and permits the flow of the fluid agent out of the internal cavity when the duckbill valve is in the open configuration. The duckbill valve is prevented from being motivated into the open configuration when the cap is coupled to the body portion.

Abstract:
A packaging for storing and dispensing fluid contents comprises a body defining a reservoir, wherein the body comprises a base with an aperture defined therein, a receptacle configured to store the fluid contents therein is received within the reservoir of the body, and a one-way valve positioned in the aperture. The packaging further comprises an actuator comprising a channel and an opening configured to dispense the fluid contents out of the packaging. An intermediate connecting member comprising a first connection portion configured to engage the actuator, a bellow, a second connection portion configured to engage the body, and a duckbill valve integrally formed thereon extends between the body and the actuator. The duckbill valve is aligned with the channel, and the fluid contents of the receptacle flow out of the duckbill valve, through the channel, and out of the opening upon a user applying an input to the actuator.
