Abstract:
A pump dispenser has a large ergonomic actuator designed to ergonomically deliver a composition to a substrate in the consumer's hand without the consumer having to pick up the pump dispenser. The ergonomic design allows the composition to be delivered in a proper aspect ratio to the substrate. The composition can be delivered in such a way that the composition is not aerosolized into the air or delivered to an unintended surface. The method of delivery can be made intuitive to the consumer by providing an actuator skirt that suggests the pumping mechanism or by providing a depiction of a hand or substrate over the pump dispenser. The pump dispenser is also useful for compositions or substrates that are not stable together.
Abstract:
This invention relates to pump-action nozzle devices methods of making the same. The nozzle devices of the invention comprises a body which defines an internal chamber having an inlet through which fluid may be drawn into said chamber and an outlet through which fluid present in the chamber may be expelled from the nozzle. The inlet comprises an inlet valve and the outlet comprises an outlet valve. Fluid is dispensed from the dispenser nozzles by applying pressure to an actuator member that engages and resiliently deforms or displaces a portion of the body of the device that defines the chamber, thereby compressing the chamber and actuating the dispensing of fluid. In preferred embodiments, the actuator provides a rigid actuator surface that an operator can apply a pressure to.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fluid dispenser member comprising a body (1), a pusher (2) axially displaceable between a rest position and a depressed position, the pusher forming a fluid dispenser orifice (24), and a flexible part (3) connecting the body to the pusher. The part forms return spring means (35) urging the pusher towards the rest position. The part also forms the moving member (38) of an outlet valve. The part also comprises support means (33) engaged with the body, and anchor means (37) engaged with the pusher. The support means are surrounded by the anchor means. The part includes an elastically deformable portion (34) that extends between the support means and the anchor means. The elastically deformable portion (34) constitutes both the return spring means (35) and the outlet valve moving member (38).
Abstract:
A portable hydration system having a fluid reservoir holding body. A sprayer mechanism including a first orifice projecting from a top of the body for (generating and emitting a fluid mist under pressure therefrom. A reclosable drinking nozzle communicating a second orifice with a further location of the top and having a check valve associated therewith to prevent fluid hack flow. The first and second orifices being in fluid communication with said fluid holding reservoir via a fluid conveying tube extending to a common manifold within the body.
Abstract:
A dispenser that represents the next generation of manually activated fluid dispensers found in homes at kitchen and bathroom counter tops that dispense soap, creams, and lotions. Shown in FIG. 1, the invention uses a diaphragm 105 positioned at the bottle bottom 109 of a bottle 101 filled with fluid (not shown) that is manually activated to push fluid through a tube 107, spout 111, and check nozzle 112 for the following advantages: much less expensive with fewer simpler parts, no drying of fluid in the spout 111, no dripping, and is capable of dispensing the last ounce of fluid left in the bottle. The diaphragm 105 has a unique feature that allows fluid to be pushed through the tube/spout/nozzle (107/111/112) and refill with fluid as the diaphragm is compressed and released respectively. This dispenser is activated by pushing down on a thumb saddle 113 attached to the spout 111 and tube 107. Detail A shows how the diaphragm is pinned 118 to the bottle bottom 109 that greatly relaxes the tolerances of the dispenser parts. Detail B shows a locking mechanism using features 121 and 122 for travel that is incorporated into the dispenser without any additional parts. This pump system in this dispenser is called the Blister Pump 104.
Abstract:
This invention relates to pump-action nozzle devices methods of making the same. The nozzle devices of the invention comprises a body which defines an internal chamber having an inlet through which fluid may be drawn into said chamber and an outlet through which fluid present in the chamber may be expelled from the nozzle. The inlet comprises an inlet valve and the outlet comprises an outlet valve. Fluid is dispensed from the dispenser nozzles by applying pressure to an actuator member that engages and resiliently deforms or displaces a portion of the body of the device that defines the chamber, thereby compressing the chamber and actuating the dispensing of fluid. In preferred embodiments, the actuator provides a rigid actuator surface that an operator can apply a pressure to.
Abstract:
This invention relates to pump-action nozzle devices methods of making the same. The nozzle devices of the invention comprises a body which defines an internal chamber (700) having an inlet through which fluid may be drawn into said chamber and an outlet through which fluid present in the chamber may be expelled from the nozzle. The inlet comprises an inlet valve and the outlet comprises an outlet valve. Fluid is dispensed from the nozzle devices by applying pressure to a first rigid portion (602a) of the body which causes a second portion (2504) of the body of the device to be resiliently deformed or displaced so as to enable the chamber to be compressed and fluid present therein to be dispensed. In preferred embodiments, the actuator provides a rigid actuator surface that an operator can apply a pressure to.
Abstract:
This invention relates to pump-action nozzle devices and methods of making the same. The dispenser nozzles of the invention comprises a body which defines an internal chamber having an inlet through which fluid may be drawn into said chamber and an outlet through which fluid present in the chamber may be expelled from the nozzle. The inlet comprises an inlet valve and the outlet comprises an outlet valve. Fluid is dispensed from the dispenser nozzles by pulling the trigger handle of a trigger actuator to resiliently deform or displace a portion of the body of the device that defines the chamber, thereby compressing the chamber and actuating the dispensing of fluid. In preferred embodiments, the outlet comprises an outlet passageway that extends from the chamber to an outlet orifice. One or more spray-modifying features are preferably formed within the outlet passageway.
