  • Publication number: 20230150751
    Abstract: VALVE CARTRIDGE FOR ACTUATORS OF A RANGE OF PACKAGING, having an independent complementary valve mechanism (1) to be mounted directly on the internal region of an outlet nozzle (2) of a known actuator (3) of a usual packaging (4), which actuator is traditionally combined with a pump-type mechanism (5) for extracting the product (P) contained in said packaging (4) and, accordingly, said packaging has a seal-tight upper closing part (6) that forms the body housing the extractor pump-type mechanism (5), the upper part of which is in communication with the outlet nozzle (2), while the lower part is in communication with the inside of the packaging (4), where it produces a vacuum, negative pressure or positive pressure, sufficient to move the product (P) to the outlet nozzle (2), containing an inlet duct (7) and an outlet duct (8), and in the latter there is mounted the independent complementary valve mechanism (1) which alters said stream of the semi-solid product (P) turning it into a drip, trickle or spray.

  • Publication number: 20230074980
    Abstract: A pressing mechanism for miscellaneous packs dispensing fluidic products comprising a capsular body in which a hollow actuator stem is slidably mounted to perform downward and upward movements with the outflow and backflow provided by a bellows with an elastic memory. An upper end of the bellows is coupled to a corresponding part of the actuator stem by a locking ring, and is also coupled to a button/nozzle, while the lower end of the bellows is supported on the capsular body. The actuator stem is slidably guided by an annular cap, below which the lower end of the actuator stem is coupled to a piston and a first check valve, which, together with a second check valve, allows the actuation of the actuator stem.

  • Patent number: 10136718
    Abstract: An assembly having a valve mechanism with applicator tip for cosmetic containers, in particular for compressible tubes, having two separate valves, one in the actuation mechanism and one at the applicator tip, with a lid-like mounting base having an external attaching element for attachment of the base in a liquid-tight manner to the bottleneck of a suitable compressible container, and having an internal attaching element which also defines a passage for a product. The internal attaching element is also an integral part of a first valve capable of sliding upwards and downwards, with the lower end of the first valve oriented to open and close the passage, while the upper end is centered inside a sleeve, wherein the sleeve receives through its top end the base of an applicator tip into its inner portion, and the external portion of the sleeve receives an overcap that surrounds the applicator tip.

  • Patent number: 9486592
    Abstract: A medicine dispensing device includes a single injection molded part having a body and a cover pivotally interconnected by an articulation. The body has an annular base and a cylindrical encasement. The cover has a cylindrical portion and an upper dome-shaped portion. The cover is pivotal about the articulation so as to receive the body for axial alignment of the body and the cover. The dome-shaped portion is provided with cams which during the pivoting of the cover toward the body push down a springed actuator of a primary medicine packaging received in the body and fixed in the body by fastening and locking means, thereby causing release of the medicine in the primary medicine packaging.
