Patent number: 8272539Abstract: The present invention provides a piston pump for liquid in which a sump is defined in a chamber into which sump liquid in the chamber flows due to gravity. A passageway leads from an outlet of the sump out of the chamber to a dispensing outlet. The dispensing outlet is at a height below the height of the sump outlet and fluid to exit the sump flows from the sump outlet upwardly in a first portion of the passageway to a height above the sump outlet then downwardly to the dispensing outlet. The chamber and its sump is defined between a piston chamber-forming member defining the chamber to be downwardly opening and a piston forming element axially slidable in the chamber.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2008Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Gotohti.Com Inc.Inventors: Heiner Ophardt, Andrew Jones, Padraig McDonagh, Zhenchun (Tony) Shi

Patent number: 8220667Abstract: A dispenser system for dispensing a highly viscous liquid from a container having a threaded neck. The system utilizes a base that is positioned under the container. The base defines a receptacle that receives the threaded neck of the container. In this manner, gravity biases the contents of the container into the base. A pump is provided that draws some of the highly viscous liquid from the base. The pump is held atop a support. The support holds the pump at a predetermined height above the base. The height of the pump is greater than the length of the container. In this manner, the pump is unobstructed in a full range around the pump. The pump can therefore be accessed from any angle without interference by the inverted container.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2009Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Inventors: Angelia Butcher, Todd Koch, Shelby Kettle, Donna Bradley-Koch, Patricia McCaffery

Publication number: 20120067924Abstract: Method and apparatus for dispensing a fluid using a dispensing container employing an airless pump, which may employ abstract or non-cylindrical shapes. The airless pump uses a chamber enclosing a fluid with a piston comprising a surface of the chamber. The chamber has an interior volume with a substantially uniform cross section along a height of the chamber, to which the piston is conformed allowing the piston to transverse the height of the chamber. The gaps between the piston and the interior of the chamber are sealed with a multi-lobe ring seal.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2010Publication date: March 22, 2012Inventor: David M. Deans

Publication number: 20120061423Abstract: A fluid dispenser device for mounting on a reservoir. The device has a dispenser member with a body and an actuator rod that is axially movable down and up with the body; a fastener ring for fastening the body on an opening of a reservoir; and a dispenser head mounted on the actuator rod. The dispenser head includes a connection sleeve engaged axially on the actuator rod, the head including a radial duct, an orifice formed in an outer casing that surrounds the connection sleeve, defining a substantially annular gap. The fastener ring includes an axial guide for preventing the dispenser head from turning freely, while enabling it to move axially. The dispenser head includes a guide element that co-operates with the guide, the guide element extending radially from the connection sleeve to the outer casing, in the annular the gap.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2010Publication date: March 15, 2012Applicant: VALOIS SASInventors: Patrick Muller, Bruno Stuart
