Patent number: 10086392Abstract: A dispenser for applying at least two compositions, the dispenser including at least two reservoirs for storing the at least two compositions separately, at least two pumps for pumping the at least two compositions, which pumps have different strokes, an exit orifice, and an actuator assembly. The difference between the first stroke and the second stroke is accommodated through flexure of a flexing member in the actuator assembly. The first composition includes microcapsules and the second composition includes a volatile solvent.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Lee Burrowes, William John Cleveland Connolly, Andrew Graham Masters, James Samuel Richardson

Patent number: 9868127Abstract: The disclosure relates to a liquid refilling system (10) having a parent device (201) and a child or portable travel device sized device (101) that can be releasably coupled to the parent device (201) to transfer liquid from the parent to the child device. The parent device has a pump (207), an actuator (217) and an actuator stroke limitation means (218) whereby the amount of liquid dispensed by the parent device (201) can be selected as a single use predetermined amount or as a child refill amount. The parent pump is in liquid communication with the parent liquid reservoir and the pump has a volume which is substantially equal to the volume of the child.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Noxell CorporationInventors: Daniel Scott, Andrew Graham Masters, Georgina Lyndsey Claire Milich

Patent number: 9517481Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a liquid refilling system (10) including a parent device (201) and a child or portable travel sized device (101) that can be releasably coupled to the parent device (201) to transfer liquid from the parent to the child device. The parent device (210) is provided with a pump (207) in liquid communication with a parent reservoir (203) containing the liquid. The pump of the parent device has a volume which is preferably substantially equal to the volume (Vcr) of the child reservoir thereby enabling a minimal number of single actuations of the parent pump (207) to completely fill the child reservoir (103) if desired upon coupling thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2015Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventors: Daniel Scott, Andrew Graham Masters
