  • Patent number: 5862955
    Abstract: A creamy substance dispenser has a substantially rigid casing bounding a cylindrical chamber fillable with a creamy substance. A movable piston is slidable on the surface of the chamber for sealingly closing one end of the chamber. A dispensing chamber is separated from the cylindrical chamber by a transverse wall having apertures communicating the cylindrical chamber with the dispensing chamber and appendices projecting about the apertures. A profiled body formed of an elastically deformable material is fixed to the rigid casing and defines an outwardly facing portion of the dispensing chamber. The profiled body has a delivery hole and at least one rib projecting in proximity to the delivery hole and securely engaged with the appendices. A non-return valve has an appendix shaped to seal the delivery hole, and is positioned in the dispensing chamber to prevent return flow of creamy substance in the dispensing chamber to the cylindrical chamber.

  • Patent number: 5842616
    Abstract: An atomized liquid dispenser applicable to the stem of manually operated pumps for dispensing a liquid enclosed in a container, the dispenser having an elongate chamber housing a movable piston from which there projects an appendix urged by a spring towards a discharge or dispensing nozzle, a portion of the appendix being insertable into and sealedly movable within a cylindrical seat in an insert in which there is provided the nozzle opening into the seat, a stop element being provided for retaining the piston, when in its rest position, with the free end of the appendix spaced from the end of the seat in the insert.

  • Patent number: 5779106
    Abstract: An atomized liquid dispenser, comprising a pump and a dispensing head mounted on the stem of the pump, the head defining a chamber communicating with the stem and housing a movable piston urged by a spring to close a discharge nozzle provided at one end of the chamber. From the head there extends a skirt in which cuts are provided which define a flexible tang engaging one end of said piston projecting from said chamber. From the inner surface of the tang there projects a cam which, when the pump is operated, interferes with the pump or with an element rigid with it, to cause the tang to flex outwards and axially entrain the piston, so withdrawing it from the discharge nozzle.

  • Patent number: 5577640
    Abstract: A creamy substance dispenser is formed from a small number of components of easy and economical construction and assembly. The dispenser includes a main body defining a metering chamber communicating with a creamy substance container, within the chamber there being sealedly slidable a piston from which is projected a hollow stem extending into a hollow appendix projecting from a skirt rigid with the main body. The appendix is provided with a discharge hole closable by the end of said stem and biased by a spring, the stem freeing said discharge hole when made to translate by manual action.

  • Patent number: 5558258
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing atomized fluids under pressure and provided with a shut-off element operated by the pressurized fluid. The dispenser includes a compression chamber housing a movable piston from which there projects an appendix which, when in a rest state, is urged by a spring to seal a discharge hole provided in a body closing the chamber, which communicates with a seat into which the end of the stem of a pressurized fluid pump can be inserted. When the fluid pressure within the chamber overcomes the resistance of the spring, the piston moves and the appendix frees the discharge hole. That end of the piston close to the appendix is slidable in a sealed manner within a cavity in a bush and a communication duct between the compression chamber and the discharge hole is freed only when the end of the piston emerges from the bush cavity on withdrawing.

  • Patent number: 5492251
    Abstract: A pressurized fluid dispenser is adapted to be fitted unto the stem of a fluid delivery pump. A skirt portion is flexibly connected to the remaining portion of the dispenser. A tongue projects from the skirt portion. The tongue may be pressed to flex the skirt portion inwardly. A tooth on the outer surface of the free end of the skirt portion project outwardly. The tooth is snap-engageable with an annular rib which projects into the interior of an aperture in the top of a ring cap adapted to attach the fluid delivery pump to a container mouth.
