Abstract: The dispenser device for liquid substances has a chamber for accommodating a liquid substance, at least one first passage arranged in an upper portion of the chamber and adapted to allow the inflow of the liquid substance into the chamber, and a dispenser suitable for feeding the liquid substance into the chamber through the first passage. A second passage is provided for the outflow of the liquid substance from a lower portion of the chamber, a valve adjusts the flow of the liquid substance through the second passage, and a flow deflector element is arranged within the chamber and is interposed in a fixed position between the first passage and the second passage. The deflector element has a substantially torroidal shape, and an intermediate portion thereof flanks, at a substantially constant distance, the inner surface of the chamber.

Abstract: A soft drink dispenser is provided with a soda generator and cooling tank which employs the consumable ice from an ice bin as a source for cooling the soda while being maintained apart from the ice. Both the ice bin and soda tank are maintained upon a common cooling plate having serpentine passages for prechilling water before introduction into the soda tank. The ice within the bin serves as an energy source for the cooling plate which acts as a heat sink to provide a thermally conductive path for assuring that the soda within the tank is kept at a desirably low level.

Abstract: A closure cap snap-fitted to the lower end of a dispenser body is threaded to the neck of a container of fluid to be dispensed and resists back-off or loosening from the container by resisting rotation of the body about the central axis of the container. Cooperating slip-resistant surfaces are provided between an edge wall of a flexible skirt on the cap and a confronting flange on the body. Rotation of the body is further resisted by the provision of slip-resistant cooperating surfaces between opposing sides of a gasket seal and the respective lower and upper confronting surface of the dispenser body and the container neck.

Abstract: A rigid piston-type multi-cavity dispensing container for simultaneous coextrusion of two or more flowable materials in a predetermined proportion, such as multicomponent toothpaste and the like which, upon relative compression of the upper and lower body members, produces a single, banded, unmixed stream of material. The container has a unique outlet assembly which is arranged to cause the outlet streams of material to flow towards each other. The outlet assembly maintains the segregation of the different materials as they move simultaneously outward through the outlet.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing striped paste-like materials, e.g. toothpaste. The dispenser includes a striping assembly including a shoulder member having a central opening, preferably with a threaded neck portion, and a barrier member having a central opening and adapted to be located within the neck portion of the shoulder member. A tubular nozzle with a plurality of radial openings therein is located between the shoulder member and the barrier member to provide a striped effect upon extruding a paste-like material through the assembly. Forcing the paste-like materials from the dispenser can be effected, for example, by squeezing a collapsible tube attached to the striping assembly.
