Patents by Inventor Ralf Jordan

Ralf Jordan has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9957100
    Abstract: A dispensing device having two output channels (6) for selectively dispensing a preferably liquid product is proposed. In order to switch between the output channels (6), the dispensing device has a switching part (10) that can be rotated by means of an associated actuation part (9). A simple and cost-effective design is made possible by the fact that the actuation part (9) engages axially into the switching part (10), and the switching part (10) has a peripheral seal and is self-sealing.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Bernd Jasper, Ralf Jordan
  • Patent number: 9624028
    Abstract: A dispensing device as well as a dispensing head and use thereof are proposed. Through depression of the dispensing head, an associated dispensing valve is opened and the product to be delivered can escape or be dispensed through an outlet space and via a downstream outlet valve. In order to prevent or at least minimize subsequent dripping or foaming, the volume of the outlet space is initially reduced upon actuation of the dispensing head and enlarged again upon completion of actuation, particularly after closing of the dispensing valve, whereby the product is suctioned away from the outlet or outlet valve back into the outlet space.

  • Patent number: 9205437
    Abstract: A dispensing device for a preferably cosmetic liquid as well as a method for the manufacture thereof are proposed. A lasting and tight joining of two materials is achieved while allowing for simple manufacture by pretreating the surface of the first material by means of plasma treatment or irradiation in a desired joining area in order to form radicals there or to break up the polymer chains of the first material, and by then injecting the second material directly against the first material. Another aspect consists in covering the first material with a second material for joining with another material or component.

  • Patent number: 7600701
    Abstract: A spray head and a device for delivery of a liquid which enables the liquid to be delivered from a container to which the spray is connected both as a spray mist and as a jet. A first feature is that the delivery tube is shorter than the container diameter or the inside diameter of a protective cap for the container. A second feature is that the spray head—especially with the delivery tube which is and/or is not connected to the nozzle—does not project laterally beyond the perimeter of the container and/or fits under the protective cap. A third feature is that the delivery tube can be pivoted up away from the nozzle. A fourth feature is that the spray head has a groove-shaped top recess for holding the delivery tube. These features are usable singly or in combination.

  • Publication number: 20080179350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispenser (10) comprising a pump housing (14) with an adapter (12) for a container that contains fluid. Said dispenser comprises an adapter housing (24) with a passage (20) and inlets (28) for the fluid, an inlet valve (30) that is located in an annular chamber (51) and a non-return valve (32) that is located in a valve chamber (34). The adapter housing (24) consists of an upper part (44) and a lower part (46), which form the annular chamber (51), that latter being centrally traversed by a connecting pipe (52). A base (50) of the annular chamber (51) contains fluid inlets (28) for the inverted position of the dispenser (10) and comprises a fluid-tight collar (60) that projects radially beyond the inlets (28). The inlet valve (30) is an annular, flexible elastic valve disc (31), which surrounds and seals the annular groove (58) and whose external edge lies on the fluid-tight collar (60), sealing the inlets (28).

  • Patent number: 6974055
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adapter (2) for a manually operated dispensing device (120) for a fluid that is/can be pressurized in a container. The dispensing device includes a housing (148) having a passage channel (30). A tubular adapter housing (34) connects the uptake tube (32) and the channel (30) of the housing (148) of the dispensing device (120). The adapter housing (34) has a connecting sleeve (42) for connection to the connecting nipple of the housing (148) and an uptake tube sleeve (44) for connection to the uptake tube (32). There are several inlets (46) for the fluid in the upside down position of the dispensing device. The adapter housing (34) defines at least one section of the inlets. An inlet valve (48) is defined within the adapter housing (34) for releasing the inlets substantially simultaneously when a pressure acts on the fluid in the container in the substantially upside down position of the container.
