Abstract: A dispenser for a product including a handle, and a slider disposed inside the handle. A cartridge receives product and a carrier is adapted to retain the product. A carrier pusher connects with the carrier. An actuator connects between the slider and the carrier pusher and is configured to advance the carrier pusher, the carrier, and the product. The actuator includes a pusher fork that extends from the slider to the carrier pusher. The pusher fork has a first set of teeth that are connected to a second set of teeth provided on the carrier pusher.

Abstract: A dispensing pump (1000) includes a polymer compression spring (1048), base vents (1060) and a flow baffle (1092). The dispensing pump includes a pump base (1002), and a dispensing head (1004) having a piston stem (1034). The polymer compression spring assembly includes a slotted tubular spring element (1048) and first and second loading cones received at opposing ends of the slotted tubular spring element. The venting ports allow air to escape when capping the container after filling and the flow baffle reduces or prevents the product from being pulled into the pump accumulator before residual air (headspace) has been evacuated from the container during the initial priming strokes.

Abstract: A cosmetic container includes a first container holding a first content, an overcap in which the first container is arranged, a brush shaft including a brush shaft head and a brush shaft body, a pump module that is coupled to an opening of the first container and the brush shaft so as to dispense the first content and includes a first elastic member for elastically supporting the first container, a second container which is separably coupled to the overcap and configured to hold a second content and within which a portion of the brush shaft body may be inserted, and a container packing which is coupled to a neck part of the second container and has a lower portion in which a through-hole is formed to accommodate the brush shaft body inserted therethrough.

Abstract: A cosmetic container that enables a user to easily mix a first product and a second product, that are stored separately within the cosmetic container, with a simple twist of the dialer before the first use. The first product is in a first product container, while the second is in a second product container. The cosmetic container includes the first product container, the second product container, a pump dispenser, an outer cap, a seal cap, a piston, an elevator, and the dialer. The dialer encloses the second product container and, when rotated, moves the elevator, which in turn pushes the piston inside the second product container. The piston, with a central rod, creates an aperture in the seal cap for the second product to flow into the first product container. This process ensures easy mixing before dispensing by removing the outer cap and using the pump dispenser.

Abstract: A manually operable head assembly for a dispenser for pasty products which has a fixed head with a dispensing duct for dispensing a product, a pumping unit with an elastically deformable cap, an actuator, a guarantee tab connected to the fixed head and having a tab body, and at least one bridge connected to the actuator is provided. The at least one bridge is suitable for breaking on a first operation of the actuator. The tab body is configured to remain connected to the fixed head following the first operation of the actuator.

Abstract: Formulation delivery systems include a reusable handle, a formulation dispensing assembly, and a controller. The formulation dispensing assembly includes a reciprocating nozzle assembly and a pump. The reciprocating nozzle assembly is fluidically-coupleable to the formulation cartridge or the cleaning cartridge received within the reusable handle. Formulation delivery devices include a reusable handle configured to receive a formulation cartridge therein, and a formulation dispensing assembly disposed in the reusable handle. The formulation dispensing assembly includes fluid conduits, a pump fluidically connected to the fluid conduits, a reciprocating nozzle assembly, and a controller. Formulation cartridges include a reusable cartridge body and a formulation cartridge refill unit.

Abstract: A device (1) for dispensing a fluid substance (S) having a cup-shaped body (3) equipped, at the bottom (2) thereof, with a first valve element (4) which intercepts a passage (5) for the suction of the fluid substance into a compression chamber (6), a closing element (7) equipped with a window (8), a dispensing button (15), and a shaped element (9) functionally coupled to the dispensing button (15) for the movement thereof into the cup-shaped body (3), the shaped element (9) including a flange portion (10) configured to slide along an internal wall (3A) of the cup-shaped body, a deformable portion (11) extending from the flange portion (10) which is bell-shaped when non-deformed, the deformable portion (11) being elastically deformable, the deformable portion (11) determining, at least together with a part of the cup-shaped body (3), the compression chamber (6).

Abstract: A fluid product dispensing device having a reservoir with a dose of fluid product, a piston-stopper mounted to slide in the reservoir, a dispensing head with a dispensing orifice axially movable to move the piston-stopper to dispense the fluid product. The piston-stopper has a hollow sleeve with a central receiving zone substantially at the axial and radial center of the piston plug. A shut-off element is positioned in the central receiving zone in a shutting-off position and, during actuation, expelled from the shutting-off position towards an open position. The central receiving zone is extended axially on one side by a lower receiving zone having two wall parts separated by at two axially extending radial grooves, the wall parts holding the shut-off element in its open position, with the fluid product able, during actuation, to flow from the reservoir around the shut-off element in the open position towards the dispensing orifice.

Abstract: A fluid substance dispensing device includes an external container with a containment element formed of a deformable part and an essentially rigid neck featuring a first flange which abuts with a free end of the external container at one of the mouth thereof, an intermediate element with a cup-shaped part inserted into the neck and fastened to the external container so that the first flange is sandwiched between the free end and the intermediate element, the cup-shaped part including an opening in communication with an internal part of the deformable part, there being—inside the cup-shaped part—a valve element configured for displacement by the body of an airless pump so that, when the body of the pump is absent or in an unused position, the valve element is stably closed, while when the pump body is pushed into a use position, the valve element is stably open.

Abstract: Systems for venting odors from a toilet bowl include a toilet having a bowl defining a headspace and having a plumbing connection to a vent stack, a plurality of micro-vacuum pumps in fluid communication with the headspace of the bowl of the toilet and in fluid communication with the vent stack. The fluid communication with the vent stack can include a saddle configured to mount to the vent stack. The saddle has an elongate seat that includes a plurality of tubular taps extending therethrough at an orientation transverse to a longitudinal axis of the saddle, and an annular adjustable clamp for attaching the elongate seat to the vent stack. When the saddle is mounted to the vent stack, each of the tubular taps creates fluid communication between the interior of the vent stack and one each of the plurality of micro-vacuum pumps.

Abstract: A container for spraying liquid includes a body, a body cover, a pump, a pump support, and a shoulder. The body includes a filling space and a body outflow channel which has a smaller cross-sectional area compared to the filling space due to a partition. A content injected into the filling space enters the body outflow channel at a lower portion of the partition, and an upper body hole is formed at an upper portion of the partition as an exit from the body outflow channel. The body cover is coupled to an upper portion of the body and includes a cover channel communicating with the upper body hole and a pump insertion space communicating with the cover channel. The pump is inserted in the pump insertion space, and the pump support is coupled to an upper portion of the body cover to support the pump. The shoulder is coupled to an upper portion of the pump support to press the pump support downward.
