  • Patent number: 11286153
    Abstract: A dual port dispenser button system with an elastic receptacle button having a first latch receiver and a second latch receiver, and a dispenser with a dispensing valve and vent valve. The dispensing valve includes a valve seal member and first button latch. The vent valve includes an elastomer deflection part and flexible connector. The button has a first and second depressed position. In the first depressed position, the dispensing valve seal member moves from a first position where it seals the dispensing port to a second position where it does not seal the dispensing port while the deflection part remains in a first position where it seals a vent port. In the second depressed position, the valve seal member moves to a third position that does not seal the dispensing port and the deflection part moves to a second position where it does not seal the vent port.

  • Patent number: 11040566
    Abstract: A pen dispenser is provided with a tube having an open top for holding a fluid to be dispensed. A valve housing made of plastic and having channels on an inner wall is also provided. There is also an applicator nib made of plastic, along with a plastic spring actuator having a plastic button, and a button retainer. In a closed position the plastic spring actuator is sealingly engaged to the valve housing blocking the flow of fluid out around the applicator nib, and in the open position, the plastic spring actuator is depressed so it is no longer sealingly engaged to the valve housing, allowing the fluid to flow through the channels on the inner wall and exit the dispenser around the applicator nib.

  • Patent number: 10908008
    Abstract: The invention provides a hand held dispenser which has an upper enclosure for holding material to be dispensed, the upper enclosure having an open end. The invention has a lower dispenser which is connected to the upper enclosure and which has a dispensing opening which is selectively sealed by a valve. The valve has a seal end and a valve stem end, the valve stem end operatively engaged to an elastic button. When the button is depressed, the valve seal end is pushed out of the dispensing opening, to allow material to be dispensed from the hand held dispenser and when the button is released, it elastically returns to an undepressed position, closing the dispensing opening.
