Patent number: 11884458Abstract: A liquid dispenser is for the delivery of pharmaceutical liquids, including a droplet dispenser, the liquid reservoir thereof being formed by a squeezable bottle body. Two measures secure the liquid dispenser, namely the provision of a cover body, an application of force on the squeezable bottle body being able to be prevented thereby, as well as a cap with a rotatable locking ring. The removal of the cap and the transfer of the cover body into a use position requires the deformation of an annular partial element.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2022Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: APTAR RADOLFZELL GMBHInventors: Volker Heinzle, Julian Trinkner

Patent number: 11583879Abstract: A dispenser for applying liquid, having a housing with an applicator opening and a liquid reservoir. The dispenser has a ventilation duct by which an ambient atmosphere is connected to the liquid reservoir so that, after the application of liquid, an inflow of air from the atmosphere is permitted into the liquid reservoir. The dispenser is provided with a detection installation which for detecting an application procedure detects air flowing in through the ventilation duct. The dispenser has a protective cap covering the applicator opening on the housing. The dispenser in the ventilation duct has a switch valve operable by activating a push-button on the external side of the housing. The protective cap acts on the push-button when placed on the housing or when the protective cap is being placed thereon to open the switch valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: APTAR RADOLFZELL GMBHInventor: Frank Keppner

Patent number: 11433188Abstract: An inhalation device having a reservoir for storing liquid before being discharged, and a discharge head for dispensing the liquid in droplet mist. The discharge head has a nozzle arrangement for generating the droplet mist and housing on which a discharge channel is provided for use as a respiration piece or for attachment of a separate respiration piece. A main axis of extent of the discharge channel encloses an angle of >0° with a central dispensing direction. In alignment with the central dispensing direction of the nozzle arrangement, either an aperture is provided in the housing through which aperture the droplet mist emerges from the discharge head if it is not sucked into the discharge channel by respiration of the user, or a liquid buffer is provided for receiving the droplet mist if it is not sucked into the discharge channel by respiration of the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: September 6, 2022Assignee: APTAR RADOLFZELL GMBHInventor: Jürgen Greiner-Perth

Patent number: 11425983Abstract: A liquid dispenser for cosmetic liquids having a liquid reservoir and an applicator. An outlet channel connects the reservoir to the applicator, the outlet channel being formed either valveless or with an outlet valve. The liquid dispenser has a pressure generating device which pressurizes liquid in the reservoir for conveyance through the outlet channel to the applicator. The pressure generating device has an air pumping device which feeds and an actuating pressure chamber. The actuating pressure chamber adjoins, and is separated from, the reservoir by a displaceable wall so that an overpressure in the actuating pressure chamber leads to an overpressure in the reservoir. The air pumping device has manual actuator, allowing air to be pumped into the actuating pressure chamber by the actuator, so that the overpressure in the actuating pressure chamber and in the reservoir rises sufficiently to convey liquid from the reservoir to the applicator.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: APTAR RADOLFZELL GMBHInventor: Thomas Bruder

Patent number: 11400474Abstract: Liquid dispenser having a liquid store and a discharge device fitted thereto and having a discharge opening. The discharge device has a pump device with a pump chamber variable in terms of volume and connected at an input side in a communicating manner to the liquid store and at an output side in a communicating manner to the discharge opening. The pump device conveys liquid from the liquid store to the discharge opening. The discharge device has a ventilation channel, by which an incoming air flow is enabled for pressure compensation between the liquid store and a surrounding atmosphere. The ventilation channel has a ventilation valve openable by manual actuation of the pump device and closed when the pump device is not actuated. Further, the ventilation channel has a capillary channel portion through which the incoming air flow reaches the liquid store.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: APTAR RADOLFZELL GMBHInventor: Christian Heinzle

Patent number: 11390435Abstract: Liquid dispenser for discharging pharmaceutical liquid having a discharge head and a cap, the cap body of which has a ventilation opening. The dispenser includes an injection-moulded pull-off portion which, in the delivery state, covers the ventilation opening and is connected to the cap body by a substance-to-substance bond. The pull-off portion, together with a tamper-evident portion, which, with the dispenser in the delivery state, prevents removal of the cap body, is part of a common segment which is detachable from the cap body of the cap. Alternatively, the ventilation opening is provided with a filter membrane for filtering the air which flows through it, and the cap body includes two part-bodies which together form a receiving space for the filter membrane.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: APTAR RADOLFZELL GMBHInventors: Jürgen Greiner-Perth, Gerald Krampen, Timo Jung, Andi Herz

Patent number: 11345077Abstract: A method for producing a containing system for a liquid dispenser having a dimensionally stable outer container and a collapsible inner container, in the form of a pouch, arranged within the outer container. The method includes starting from the outer container, at least one layer of a pouch material being applied to an inner wall of the outer container. For this purpose, the pouch material is applied in the form of a liquid or powder to the inner wall, where, after solidifying or fusing, it forms a ply of a wall, of the inner container. The ply detaches from the inner wall of the outer container when the inner container collapses.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2018Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: APTAR RADOLFZELL GMBHInventors: Tobias Baumann, Frédéric Duquet, Ulrich Maibach
