Publication number: 20220117436Abstract: A product container includes a product discharge device for releasing product from the container, the discharge device including a spout unit for discharge. The spout unit is rotatable, about a spout rotation axis, from a first position to an operational position. The spout unit preferably includes a handle for rotation from the first to the operational position, the handle preferably extending substantially radially outwardly from the axis; and a seal unit configured to enter an opened state, from a sealed state. In the latter, the seal unit is configured to substantially airtightly close off a flowthrough channel of the discharge device, and, in the former, the seal unit is configured to allow flow through the flowthrough channel. The discharge device is configured such that the seal unit can be brought from the sealed to the opened state by rotating the spout unit from the first to the operational position.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Alfonsus Wilhelmus Maria BROESS, Dirk Jan BULSINK, Jacobus Constantijn HEIJDENRIJK, Franciscus Johannes KNAPEN

Patent number: 7100805Abstract: An air freshener for dispensing a spray of deodorant, includes a housing in which a holder can be received for containing deodorant. A sliding bar has an end in contact with a door or doorway, so that a door movement results in a movement of the sliding bar. A wedge-shaped press member is coupled with the sliding bar, which during a movement of the sliding bar causes the dispensing member to move in a direction transverse to the movement of the sliding bar. The sliding bar includes a guide along which the press member can be moved in a direction transverse to the sliding bar. The press member operates a coupling piece between the press member and the dispensing member, and the coupling piece includes a round upper side including a contact surface for the wedge-shaped press member.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Sara Lee/DE N.
