  • Patent number: 7261268
    Abstract: A holder for a replaceable container of product includes a wall mountable support member having a longitudinal dimension. A holding sleeve extends transversely to the longitudinal dimension a first distance from a first region of the support member. The holding sleeve defines a bulbous recess. A foot extends transversely to the longitudinal dimension a second distance from a second region of the support member. The second distance is less than the first distance. The foot is spaced from the holding sleeve.

  • Patent number: 7028866
    Abstract: A pressure resistant plastic bottle for containing and dispensing an aerosol composition. The plastic bottle is comprised of a hollow elongate body having a central portion, a top portion and an opposite bottom portion with the central portion having an inwardly concave configuration extending along its longitudinal direction. The bottom portion of the elongate body is integral with the central portion and defines an outwardly projecting convexly shaped configuration. The top portion of the bottle is integral with the central portion and has an outwardly convex configuration extending along its longitudinal direction and defines a neck having an opening for receiving and dispensing the aerosol composition. A closure covers the opening and is sealingly attached to the neck to contain the aerosol within the plastic bottle.

  • Patent number: 6978914
    Abstract: Apparatus for placing contents of a first container in fluid communication with a delivery apparatus includes an actuating element carried by the delivery apparatus and a valve element carried by the first container. At least one of the actuating element and the valve element defines a flow path from the first container to the delivery apparatus when the actuating element and the valve element are engaged with one another. The actuating element is engageable with a circular cylindrical valve of a second container to prevent flow of contents of the second container into the delivery apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6971557
    Abstract: An actuator orifice and an actuator for enhancing or creating a foam from a pressurized material dispenser. The actuator includes a skirt attached to the dispenser and a trigger movably mounted to the skirt. The trigger includes a flow conduit with a socket for receiving a valve stem. The socket exerts pressure on the stem to release contents of the dispenser. The trigger includes a hollow flow diverter located within the chamber. The flow diverter has a side wall and an end wall extending inwardly from the flow diverter side wall. The flow diverter side wall in turn has slots that provide fluid paths between the flow conduit and a surrounding chamber. The chamber side wall has recesses. Each slot laterally directs contents of the dispenser into at least one of the recesses in the chamber side wall when the valve is activated by the trigger.
