  • Patent number: 5431312
    Abstract: A container (1) for the dispensing of liquid (2), in particular for dispensing in spray or foam form, with dispensing nozzle (D) arranged on the top side of the container (1) and a pump handle (15) for a pump (P) which is associated with the container and has a pump cylinder (11), a piston rod (16) and a pump piston (22) for producing a pressure cushion above the surface (14) of the liquid. The pump chamber (21) has an air inlet valve (V1) and an air outlet valve (V2), and, in order to obtain a structural form which is dependable in function and favorable in use, the air outlet valve (V2) comprises two valves (34, 35) which are connected one behind the other and between which an air volume can be enclosed.

  • Patent number: 5353928
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multicomponent package having an outer container (1), a screw cap (4) screwed thereon, and an inserted cup (2, 3) the bottom (6, 7) of which has a predetermined breaking line (10, 11) which can be acted on by an impact edge (8', 9') which is aligned with the annular step (14, 15), and it proposes, in order to obtain a solution which is particularly favorable in use, that there be provided at least one additional inserted cup (3), which is centered in the first inserted cup (2), the cup wall (21) of which, continued in axial direction beyond the bottom of the cup, forms an impact collar (9) of its own.

  • Patent number: 5269429
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a closure cover (V) for infusion or transfusion bottles, having a stopper (6) which is adapted to the bottle neck (3) and is extended over by a cap (8) which is anchored by undergripping on the bottle neck (3), and it proposes in order to obtain a solution which is particularly advantageous from a structural standpoint, that the undergripping of the cap (8) is obtained by resilient individual tongues (10) which are secured in the undergrip position by a sliding ring (15) surrounding them, the cap having tabs biased outward from the bottle neck for serving at the same time to secure the sliding ring (15) in its support position.

  • Patent number: 5033643
    Abstract: A method for the dispensing of a filling material, especially a liquid detergent, from a container provided for this purpose into a material to be washed during a mechanical washing process wherein the container with the filling material is subjected to the washing process, filling material being delivered from the container during this process. The provision is made that the dispensing of the filling material from the container is regulated by exertion of a force on the container during the washing process. Furthermore, a container is provided suitable for performing this method.

  • Patent number: 4903828
    Abstract: A bottle closure cap for two-component packages is formed with a collar extending from the bottom of a cup-shaped cap which has a bottle screw-on thread on the inner wall of the cup. The collar connects via a thread which is directed opposite the bottle-screw-on-thread, to a beaker which can be brought over projections seated on an outer side of its beaker cylindrical wall into a non-rotatable but axially displaceable coupling engagement with the inner wall of a bottle neck. A front end of the collar comes into form-locked engagement by an annular groove on the bottom of the beaker.

  • Patent number: 4773529
    Abstract: Two-component package, with a cup arranged in the neck of the packaging container for receiving the one component, and a sealing cap screwed to a thread of the neck and having a collar projecting into the cup, the face edge of such collar forming a butt edge for separating the cup within the zone of a rated breaking point by a screw motion of the sealing cap, characterized in that the neck (1) is designed multi-layered in a way such that an adapter ring (13) is present on the outer side of the annular wall (W) of the neck (1), such wall starting from the wall (3') of the packaging container and being stiffened by the cup (2), such adapter ring being secured against rotation on such annular wall, the outer jacket surface of such adapter ring supporting the thread (14) for the sealing cap (4) and its inner surface forcing the annular wall (W) against the jacket surface of the cup.

  • Patent number: 4752015
    Abstract: There is provided an attachment having a pot-shaped bottom element and a sealing cap adapted to be arranged on the neck of tubes, bottles or the like. The top side of the ceiling of the bottom element, which is supported by the side wall of the pot-shaped bottom element, is fitted with brush-like bristles which are covered by the sealing cap. The central region of the bottom element ceiling is provided with an orifice into which projects a tongue extending from the bottom side of the sealing cap, the free end of the tongue entering the orifice in the ceiling of the bottom part and sealing the same in the manner of a plug.

  • Patent number: 4615437
    Abstract: A container for holding contents as two separate components which can be mixed together later. The container comprises a cup positioned in a neck of the container for receiving a first of the components; a screwcap coordinated with the neck of the container and having a collar extending into the cup, a front edge of said collar forming a strike edge for separating the cup in the region of a line of intended breakage upon a further screwing on of the screwcap beyond a basic position for storage; and a wall of the cup has an annular step, and the strike edge of the collar comes flush on the annular step on the wall of the cup, the step--forming the place of intended breakage--being located at a distance above the bottom of the cup, there being a bead extending towards an outer surface of the collar and projecting inwardly from the inner surface of the wall of the cup, the step lying below said bead; and a clip shoulder is disposed on the collar and engages the bead of the cup wall.

  • Patent number: 4591050
    Abstract: A two-component package comprises a cup arranged in a neck of the package to receive one component, and a screw cap. The cup defines an intended break line and cooperates with the neck of the package. A collar which extends into the cup, defines an abutment edge at the front end thereof. The abutment edge is disposed for separating the cup in the region of said break line upon a screwing of the cap.The cup defines a cup wall and an annular step therein.The step includes the break line spaced above the bottom of the cup.An inner surface of the cup wall has a bead inwardly directed therefrom. The bead disposed above the annular step engages against an outer surface of the collar.
