  • Patent number: 7757968
    Abstract: A trigger dispensing device for the concurrent dispensing of two or more fluids separately kept in a tank is disclosed. The dispensing device comprises a deformable elastic membrane whose pumping elements can be affected by a trigger for dispensing fluids. Membrane is held in position between a frame and a counter frame, whereas trigger is hinged to an arm of the counter frame. The device is provided with a delivery valve and with a check valve integrated in the membrane. The device is adapted for the concurrent dispensing of two or more fluids and is provided with a structure comprising a reduced number of components.

  • Patent number: 7708165
    Abstract: A vent for a liquid dispenser includes a vent flange comprising a flange body. The vent body includes a vent wall on which the membrane is applied. The vent wall extends parallel to the geometric axis of the device so as to have a sufficiently large area available for applying the transpiratory membrane and at the same time to limit the space occupied radially by the flange.

  • Patent number: 7285315
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closure which is made of synthetic material with characteristics similar to or even better than those of cork and which can therefore be used in all applications in which a cork closure is normally used. In particular, the closure according to the present invention is a stopper for containers for wine or liquors. In particular, the present invention relates to a container closure made of an expanded elastomer by means of a thermal moulding method, characterized in that the expanded elastomer can be produced by means of a step of expansion by a supercritical fluid.

  • Patent number: 6889059
    Abstract: A multi-card cellular telephone apparatus includes a central processing unit and a plurality of SIM cards connected to the central processing unit through slots. The plurality of SIM cards are selectively managed by the central processing unit employing an active time agenda that allows reading of an internal clock time and activating the SIM cards as a function of the assigned time range. A process is also disclosed for automatically managing multiple SIM cards.

  • Patent number: 6796449
    Abstract: A closure for containers having an opening, comprising substantially rigid supporting and sealing means for insertion in a container opening, and a covering body made of flexible and resilient plastic material which covers at least a portion of and is connected to the supporting and sealing means, and is adapted to close the container opening. The supporting and sealing means comprise an upper and lower support and sealing element operatively joined together to support the covering body in a longitudinal direction to prevent elongation of the plastic material of the covering body.

  • Patent number: 6669056
    Abstract: A foaming device, capable of generating foam by mixing a volume of air with a quantity of liquid, optionally connected to a tank of the liquid and provided with valves for controlling the flow of air and liquid, comprises an air chamber enclosed in a resiliently deformable diaphragm, and a liquid chamber. The diaphragm is shaped in such a way as to produce an increasing rate of flow of expelled air during deformation by an air piston.

  • Patent number: 6168050
    Abstract: A pump for dispensing liquids includes a hollow cylindrical support body having an annular channel formed at a first axial end of the body and open towards the internal cavity of the body. A pumping member in the form of a resiliently-flexible, cup-shaped diaphragm has its cavity facing the annular channel. A lever is pivoted about a pin carried by the hollow cylindrical body and includes a first end that engages the cup-shaped diaphragm of the pumping member for collapsing the diaphragm when it is desired to dispense liquid. A tubular element extends through the cup-shaped diaphragm of the pumping member and guides the axial movement of the pumping member.

  • Patent number: 6138873
    Abstract: A bayonet coupling between a spray pump and a bottle of a substance to be sprayed provides a better quality fitting between the pump and the bottle and in particular a uniformity of the relative angular position between pump and bottle. The coupling includes at least one tooth projecting from the pump, and a tooth catch projecting from the bottle, a sloping wall formed in the tooth catch over which the tooth can be snap-engaged at the time the pump is fitted axially onto the bottle, as well as, formed in the bottle, a funnel-like passage through which the tooth is to pass as the pump is fitted axially onto the bottle, so as to orient the pump angularly with respect to the bottle.
