  • Publication number: 20090032134
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a cost effective method for filling a dispenser assembly using a high speed filling apparatus. A partially pre-assembled dispenser assembly that includes an end cap, an outer casing, and an inner fluid receiving body is placed directly onto a filling apparatus. The partially pre-assembled dispenser assembly is filled with a fluid material through an opening in the inner fluid receiving body. The inner fluid receiving body is then sealed so as to provide a fully assembled and filled dispenser assembly. The ability to provide dispensers in a pre-assembled form, combined with the compatibility of the fluid dispensers with industrial high speed filling machines, reduces the overall filling costs to the cosmetic company, as well as the cost to the consumer.
