  • 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: 8863994
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device, particularly a dispensing head proposed for preferably cosmetic liquid. A simple, tightly closing structure of an outlet valve is achieved in that a valve element is injected onto a wall and/or lies thereon with its entire surface or flat surface when the valve is closed and/or the valve element covers an outlet opening on the flat side. Alternatively or in addition, the valve element is pretensioned into a closed position when the valve is closed.

  • Patent number: 8365962
    Abstract: What is being proposed is a lever spray pump for dispensing a cosmetic liquid. The lever spray pump has a flexible section which can be deformed for the pumping of the liquid. The pump has a manually operable actuation element in order to deform the section for pumping. The pump has an air valve for a container associated with the pump. The air valve is embodied in a single piece with the section and is opened automatically upon deformation of the section or operation of the pump. Preferably, the section is pretensioned in the built-in state with non-actuated pump.

  • Patent number: 8261952
    Abstract: Disclosed is a device (1) for dispensing a liquid (2) without spraying as well as a use of such a dispensing device (1). In order to prevent liquid from escaping after a dispensing process, an outlet that opens towards the environment can be closed by means of a discharge valve (7). Said discharge valve (7) is provided with a valve body (9) which can be moved in accordance with the prevailing liquid pressure such that the discharge valve (7) opens when a minimum pressure is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 8240518
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device for dispensing a cosmetic liquid, the device having an elastic or flexible pump section. A dispensing device is provided having a compact and simple structure that is easy to use and operate such that the dispensing direction is generally different from the direction of actuation. A widening receiving area may be provided for the dispensed liquid that adjoins the outlet such that the liquid can be removed or extracted manually. The receiving area is preferably shell-shaped and open towards the top.

  • Publication number: 20090212075
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device for a preferably cosmetic liquid, and to a method for producing one such dispensing device. Two components are interconnected in a liquid-tight manner. The first component comprises a recess and the second component comprises a projection. The projection engages in the recess by means of a section which is complementary to the recess. The connection is created by means of a temporarily liquefied and/or deformed material which is formed by a second section connected to the first section of the projection and/or is injected into the recess, especially via a channel through the projection.

  • Publication number: 20090166383
    Abstract: The invention relates to a dispensing device for dispensing a preferably cosmetic liquid, comprising an elastic or flexible pump section. The aim of the invention is to provide a dispensing device having a compact and simple structure, that is easy to use and operate such that said dispensing direction is at least substantially counter to the direction of actuation and/or it extends at least substantially vertically in the upward direction. Alternatively or additionally, a widening receiving area for the dispensed liquid adjoins the outlet such that said liquid can be removed or extracted manually. Said receiving area is preferably shell-shaped and open towards the top.
