  • Patent number: 9579670
    Abstract: A dispensing container that dispenses a liquid contained therein in foam includes: a container body storing therein a liquid; and a base cap mounted to a mouth of the container body. The container body is flexible so that a squeeze operation may be performed on the container body. The base cap is provided, on a top wall, with a nozzle forming a tubular passage communicating with a front end orifice. The nozzle is provided with a foaming mechanism for the liquid at an upstream end portion and with a through-hole in a predetermined position on a circumferential wall of the nozzle that is downstream of the foaming mechanism. The through-hole is provided with a check valve, and the front end orifice communicates with an inside of the container body through the through-hole.

  • Patent number: 8893931
    Abstract: Provided is a foam dispenser in which upward and downward displacement of an actuator causes a content liquid within a liquid cylinder and air within an air cylinder to be mixed and foamed, such that the foam so generated is dispensed from an outlet of a dispenser head. The dispenser head has a structure with a minimized thickness to thereby increase the dispensing amount. The dispenser head includes two members, i.e., a first member and a second member, that have special configuration for allowing the two members to be easily removed from a die and formed in a small thickness.
