Abstract: A dispenser pump has a plunger operable in a body including an outer cylinder body having a vent opening in its sidewall and a body insert fitting into the top of the body cylinder and providing an external collar through which the plunger stem operates. The body insert has a lock-down thread to lock down the plunger for shipping. The insert also has an undulating annular vent-control bead extending right round its cylindrical outer surface, engaging the cylinder wall with interference for either blocking or unblocking the vent opening, according to whether the vent-control bead lies above or below the interior vent opening, by rotation between the body cylinder and body insert. The rotation can be driven by rotation of the plunger head, which makes a catch engagement with the top of the body insert. Blocking the vent during shipping reduces leakage.

Abstract: A reusable, refillable airless fluid pump dispenser that is leakproof and designed specifically for travel. To operate the dispenser, the user presses an ergonomic depression on the top of the dispenser to engage the pump and cause a platform within the dispenser to rise, evenly distributing a fluid from the dispenser. The user can twist off the top and remove it from the body of the dispenser, which permits access to the interior of the dispenser to refill or wash as needed. The user may access the platform, raising it or pushing it back down to either adjust the amount of product they would like to fill or to reuse once product has been depleted. The attached outer cap of the top twists to lock, both blocking the nozzle from distributing any product and also preventing the top from depressing and engaging the pump.

Abstract: A wearable accessory for storing and dispensing liquid and a method of using the same are provided. The accessory can include a housing having a loop structure with a through-hole configured to receive a hand of a user therethrough, and a liquid container enclosed within the housing. The through-hole can be sized for the user's lower arm. The liquid container can include a first end having a sealable opening for adding liquid for storing and dispensing, and a second end in fluid communication with a nozzle opening recessed in an external surface on the front side of the housing. The nozzle opening can be configured to receive and dispense a volume of atomized liquid from a sprayer coupled to the second end of the liquid container when the sprayer is activated by an actuator integrated into the housing. The recessed nozzle opening prevents the user from contacting the sprayer.

Abstract: An exemplary dispensing system includes a dispenser, an actuator, a sensor, and a controller. The dispenser includes a container for holding liquid, a liquid pump, an air pump, an outlet nozzle, and a foaming media. The actuator causes the dispenser to dispense liquid or foam.

Abstract: A universal closure for a dispenser is contemplated. The closure seals to the container neck along three separate surfaces with sufficient force to enable the use of lockdown and/or anti-rotational features to secure the dispenser for e-commerce shipments. Provision of frictional projections secures a sufficiently tight fit between the container neck and the body insert of the closure so as to eliminate the need to force separate engagement features on the container itself.

Abstract: In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, Flair® based aerosol-type devices can be provided. Such devices utilize a combination of Flair® technology, pre-compression valves and aerosol like pressurization of the dispensed liquid. Such a dispensing device has a main body comprising a pressure chamber, the latter being provided with a pressure piston and a pressure spring.
