Abstract: Disclosed is a dispensing cap adapted to be removably, or permanently affixed to a container comprising a plurality of interconnected individual wipes, which dispensing cap includes a partly stationary and partly moveable plate having a dispensing orifice a portion being defined by a stationary plate part, a further portion of the dispensing orifice being defined by a moveable plate part.

Abstract: A dispenser including a base unit with an actuation mechanism for dispensing liquid and a refill unit insertable into the base unit in an inverted configuration with its outlet lowermost for the supply of liquid to the base unit. The refill unit includes an annular wall projecting into the refill unit and defining an outlet from the refill unit, the annular wall being closable at its innermost end by a valve element biased onto the annular wall. The base unit includes a hollow spigot and an annular seal surrounding and spaced from the top of the spigot whereby insertion of the refill unit into the base unit causes the spigot to enter the annular wall and to lift the valve element from the annular wall to define a flow path from the refill unit, and the annular seal to seal between the spigot and the annular wall.

Abstract: Disclosed is a dispensing cap adapted to be removably, or permanently affixed to a container which container contains a plurality of individual wipes interconnected to one another but separable along one or more perforations between individual wipes, which dispensing cap includes a partly stationary and partly moveable plate having a dispensing orifice which is offset from the center part of the dispensing cap, said dispensing orifice being surrounded by a plurality of individual flexible lobes, a portion of the dispensing orifice being defined by the stationary plate part, a further portion of the dispensing orifice being defined by a moveable hinged plate part of the dispensing orifice which is moveable along a hinge line from which the hinged plate part depends from a part of the stationary plate, and further wherein the hinged plate part includes a depending brace wall which extends downwardly from the hinged plate part from the underside thereof, which brace wall is located at or near the periphery of th

Abstract: Provided is a removable device cover (20) which is self-aligning when removably affixed to a device (10), wherein the device cover comprises a generally curved concave sidewall (22) extending between a top margin (23) and a base margin (21), an open rearward portion (25) and a face portion (28) having a sight window insert (26) extending therefrom towards the open rearward portion (25), wherein at transverse cross-sectional planes the shape of the self aligning, removable device cover is approximately elliptical in cross-section, the device cover having a first transverse section (x) coincident with the top margin and having a major axis (xA) and a minor axis (xB), a further, second, transverse section (Z) coincident with the base margin and having a major axis (zA) and a minor axis (zB), and a further, third, transverse section (Y) at a midpoint between the top margin and the base margin and having a major axis (yA) and a minor axis (yB), wherein the dimensions of the major axis and minor axis of the transve

Abstract: The present invention describes a receptacle (10) for a personal care composition comprising a container (12), a separate closure member (14), at least one applicator means (22) for the application of the composition to a user and at least one removal means (24) for the removal of the composition from a user, wherein: the container comprises a reservoir means for retaining a quantity of composition and an aperture (18) in an upper portion of said container; and wherein the closure member has a hollow construction and a releasably sealable lid member (16), and the interior of the closure member is configured to house the at least one applicator means and the at least one removal means; and wherein securing means (20) are provided to permit the closure member to be releasably engagable with the container to close the aperture when engaged. The present invention also describes a method of applying a personal care composition.

Abstract: A dispenser including a base unit with an actuation mechanism for dispensing liquid and a refill unit insertible into the base unit in an inverted configuration with its outlet lowermost for the supply of liquid to the base unit. The refill unit includes an annular wall projecting into the refill unit and defining an outlet from the refill unit, the annular wall being closable at its innermost end by a valve element biased onto the annular wall. The base unit includes a hollow spigot and an annular seal surrounding and spaced from the top of the spigot whereby insertion of the refill unit into the base unit causes the spigot to enter the annular wall and to lift the valve element from the annular wall to define a flow path from the refill unit, and the annular seal to seal between the spigot and the annular wall.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a bottle (20) with a tamper-proof cap (21) with an outlet in the cap for dispensing the liquid from the bottle. The bottle is designed, in particular, for use in an inverted configuration, namely with the outlet lowermost in normal use, in a device for dispensing liquid soap or the like.
