Abstract: A cap for use in dispensing viscous liquids from containers without the accompaniment of lower viscosity liquid present in the container. The cap has a top portion with an outside surface and an inside surface and an elongated conduit formed at a pre-determined angle. The elongated conduit has an outlet and an inlet. The outlet is situated either eccentrically or concentrically on the outside surface of the top portion such that at least one point on the circumference of the top portion is greater than 10 millimeters from the edge of the inlet.

Abstract: A dosing bottle made in one piece from plastic using a blow molding or an injection molding method. With at least one mash seam or a constriction in the bottle walls, a separate dosing chamber with an opening passing through to an inside of the bottle is formed at a bottom of the bottle. The dosing chamber communicates with an outlet tube which runs through the inside of the bottle to an opening in such a manner that whenever the bottle is tipped forwards by 90° to 180° from its upright position into a pouring position, only the liquid in dosing chamber can be poured out of the bottle.

Abstract: An aerosol spray can (12) that can only be operated when connected to an a-c utility power source provided by a power cord (50A) connected to an external activator (40). The can is modified by adding internally, a movable armature (19) that operates a valve assembly (16) connected to a spray head (20). When the armature is not energized by the attached activator (40), the valve assembly (16) remains in a closed position, preventing the flow of paint. Conversely, when the movable armature (19) is energized by the activator (40), the valve assembly (16) opens allowing paint to be sprayed when the spray head (20) is depressed.

Abstract: A sipper tube cap assembly is provided having a cap with a flat surface and a curved wall. A circumferential flange is formed by the flat surface and further defines an opening in the cap. A stopper, having a hole formed therein, is positioned in said cap by said circumferential flange to retain the stopper within the cap. Finally, a sipper tube is provided which is positioned within the hole in the stopper, to extend through the opening.

Abstract: A pump, spray or suction actuated dispenser with a suction tube extending into a container, wherein the suction tube is used to mount an ornamental figure.

Abstract: A reservoir (1) for drinks dispensing machines is described, which comprises a reservoir body (2), an output line (3) for outputting liquids in predetermined quantities and a means (4) for level compensation of the liquid level (7a) in the reservoir body (2). In order to carry out the level compensation in a constructive simple manner, it is suggested that the reservoir body (2) above the liquid level (7a) is closed in a substantially air-tight manner, and the means (4) for level compensation comprises a ventilation opening (6) that is arranged below the liquid level (7a).

Abstract: A valve element may be configured to be mounted in an air intake passage of a container. The valve element may be at least partially elastically deformable. The valve element may include a valving member configured such that, when vacuum pressure inside the container is less than a predetermined threshold differential from atmospheric pressure, the valving member is in sealed contact with a seat formed on the container. The valving member may also be configured such that the valving member moves away from the seat when the predetermined threshold differential is reached, so as to allow air to be taken into the container. By elastic return, the valving member may return to a position in sealed contact with the seat when the vacuum pressure inside the container drops back to less than the predetermined threshold differential. The valve element may be placed in a functional configuration via an elastically irreversible modification thereof during mounting.

Abstract: A liquid container comprises a bag-shaped container body formed of a flexible film and a delivery unit having a mouth portion, a joining portion and a shank portion, the joining portion being secured to an opened end portion of the bag-shaped container body, the mouth portion extending outward of the bag-shaped container body from the joining portion and the shank portion extending inside the bag-shaped container body from the joining portion. The joining portion and the shank portion of the delivery unit are connected to be relatively rotatable with each other by an engaging member such as pin-and-hole connection or other flexible member such as bellows.

Abstract: A pump, spray or suction actuated dispenser with a suction tube extending into a container, wherein the suction tube is used to mount an ornamental figure.

Abstract: A two-part bottle water delivery system. A separate pump unit (84) snaps into a typical commercial water bottle (86). The bottom draw pump (18) is shaft driven (14). The separate placement of pump (18), feedline (32), drive shaft (14), and drawlines (22) into the bottle (86) allows all water contact items to be submitted to the commercial bottle cleaning and sterilization process. This assures maximum purity within the typical sealed plastic cap. The corresponding control/motor (82) automatically activates by switch (42) upon insertion into bottle (86). Water flow control is upon demand by pressure switch (34). Control/motor (82) and pump unit (86) are designed with exact one position alignment. Dispensing is accomplished by a reversible mounting (78) self-adhering (68) valve (80) incorporating a flat tube (54) capable of bypassing the typical magnet seal (56) on a conventional refrigerator. The seal is maintained and tube protected by a bridge (66).

Abstract: A container for dispensing a predetermined amount of liquid through a dispensing tube is disclosed. A valve is dimensioned to contain and dispense a predetermined about of liquid and dispense the liquid through a dispensing tube in contact with the valve. The liquid is in fluid contact with the inlet port when the base is in a first position and out of fluid contact with the inlet port when the base is in a second position. Thus, the valve fills with liquid when the container is in a substantially horizontal position while angling the container removes the liquid from contact with the valve and stops the fluid flow. Preferably the container has a sealable, watertight lid that receives the dispensing tube and incorporates vent holes to enable airflow into the container. The fluid inlet port can be placed in the side or top of the valve. The valve can alternatively be a tube with fluid and tube inlets in fluid communication.

Abstract: A valve assembly is disclosed for use in an aerosol spray can capable of spraying viscous materials or materials with large particulates without clogging or packing like traditional aerosol spray cans designed for spraying texture materials. The valve opening is located at the bottom of the container rather than at the top, thus allowing highly-viscous materials, such as a fire suppressant material, or materials having large particulates, such as stucco, to be sprayed from an aerosol spray can without clogging of the valves. The valve assembly can spray materials that more closely resemble the original surface texture found on textured and stucco-covered walls and ceilings of buildings and structures.

Abstract: A one-piece filter for the distal end of a dip tube of a manually actuated liquid sprayer has an elongated tubular body open at one end with a perforate bottom wall at its other end. The body has a first inner diameter and a smaller second inner diameter established by a plurality of inner spacers for engaging the dip tube. The perforate bottom wall has an open mesh area defined by a plurality of filter openings, a first set of which occupies a central area of the bottom wall within the second diameter, and a second set of which openings occupies an annular area of the bottom wall between the first and second diameters.

Abstract: A device (G) for dispensing liquids (1), especially medicinal liquids, from a mouthpiece aperture (2), the latter being connected to a supply of liquid, by manual actuation of a piston-cylinder device (4) which allows the manual actuation only after an overload threshold (Ü) has been exceeded. The device achieves a design which is advantageous for use, and provides a powerful jet of liquid, by a smaller restoring spring force, assigned to the overload threshold (Ü), of the piston-cylinder device (4) designed as a pump (P).
