Abstract: A liquid delivery system comprising a base unit (2) comprising a liquid inlet in an upwardly facing surface, a liquid duct leading from the inlet to a liquid outlet above the liquid inlet; a pump for pumping the liquid from the inlet to the outlet; a motor to drive the pump; and a shroud extending upwardly in a manner which surrounds the inlet, the shroud having an upper edge which has a downwardly extending recess (20) for a part of its circumference; characterised by the system further comprising an insert (21) in the recess (20) which forms a liquid-tight seal with the recess (20) and defines, with the shroud, a liquid cavity in communication with the liquid inlet in the base.

Abstract: A kit comprising of a container (20) arranged to be in an inverted configuration and having a cap (21) at its lower end, in use, the cap (21) having an outlet orifice extending axially into the container (20) which is selectively sealed at its axially innermost end by a resiliently biased seal, a disc within the outlet orifice on which the seal sits, a plurality of spokes holding the disc in place, so that, with the seal open, flow paths are formed between the outlet orifice, the disc and the spokes; and a refill device, the refill device comprising a nozzle (41) with a plurality of castellations which fit into the outlet orifice of the container (20) between the spokes to lift the seal from the seat to open a flow path for the ingress of liquid.

Abstract: A liquid delivery system comprising a base unit (2) comprising a liquid inlet in an upwardly facing surface, a liquid duct leading from the inlet to a liquid outlet above the liquid inlet; a pump for pumping the liquid from the inlet to the outlet; a motor to drive the pump; and a shroud extending upwardly in a manner which surrounds the inlet, the system further comprising a vessel (1) received within the shroud in an inverted configuration with its outlet lowermost and in communication with the fluid inlet, the vessel (1) having a refill opening (20) towards the end opposite to the outlet.

Abstract: A bottle (1) with a secure cap (7), comprising a bottle having an open neck (2) and a first retaining flange (3) around at least a portion of the neck; and a push-on cap (7) fitted over the neck (2), the cap having an outlet with a valve (32) for controlling flow through the outlet and a second retaining flange (9) positioned so that, upon placement of the cap (7) on the bottle (1), the first and second retaining flanges (3,9) deflect relatively to one another as they pass and snap back into place once they have passed with a shoulder (41) of the first retaining flange engaging a shoulder (131) on the second retaining flange to hold the cap securely on the bottle.

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.

Abstract: A dispenser comprising a base unit (2) with an actuation mechanism for dispensing liquid and a refill unit (1) insertible into the base unit (2) in an inverted configuration with its outlet lowermost for the supply of liquid to the base unit (2), the refill unit (1) comprising an annular wall (30) projecting into the refill unit (1) and defining an outlet from the refill unit (1), the annular wall (30) being closable at its innermost end by a valve element (33) biased onto the annular wall 30), the base unit (2) comprising a hollow spigot (11) and an annular seal (14) surrounding and spaced from the top of the spigot (11) whereby insertion of the refill unit (1) into the base unit (2) causes the spigot (11) to enter the annular wall (30) and to lift the valve element (33) from the annular wall (30) to define a flow path from the refill unit (1), through at least one cut-out portion formed in the top of the spigot (11) and/or the bottom of the valve element (33) and down the hollow spigot (11), and the annular
