  • Patent number: 4903867
    Abstract: Dispensers for pasty compositions having a housing (1) with a piston (2) which is displaceable only in the emptying direction and an actuating handle (H) which is developed on a head piece (5) which can be pressed bellows-like in the direction towards the piston (2) and has a dispenser outlet opening (O) from which there extends, directed inwards, a tube (7) whose inner mouth-end (7") dips freely into the pasty composition in every position of the bellows (B). A structural shape which is simple to manufacture and nevertheless dependable in operation, comprises a flap valve (9) with passage opening lying in the direction of the tube (7) (arrow z), below the inner mouth-end (7") of the tube (7), in the cover (8) of the housing (1) from which a mounting collar (6) for the bellows (B) extends.

  • Patent number: 4775080
    Abstract: There is provided a dispenser for paste material, such as tooth paste, having a movable piston disposed in the dispenser casing below the paste material adapted to move in the direction of the nozzle opening and prevented from moving in the opposite direction by a first locking mechanism, and a push button for the displacement of an upper pressure cover which is disposed inside the dispenser casing above the material and which is coupled with the piston through a rod which penetrates and is force locked with the piston by means of a second locking mechanism working opposite to the first locking mechanism. A guide piece is provided which is connected with the rod and the pressure cover and extends above the pressure cover, passing through a guide opening in the casing top surmounting the pressure cover. The guide piece is connected to the push button mounted in the casing top.

  • Patent number: 4708267
    Abstract: A dispenser for pasty compositions (M) having a housing (1) in which there is arranged a piston (2) which is displaceable only in the emptying direction. An outer actuating handle is provided on a wall (10) of the head piece (K). The wall can be pressed in the direction towards the piston, the head piece having a dispenser outlet opening (7) which lies at the outer end (9") of a tube (9) whose end section (9') forms an inner open mouth end the end section over its entire length protruding inwards beyond the wall into the pasty composition. In order to obtain a structural shape which is simple to manufacture and a self-regulation of the delivery which is free of loss the actuating handle is formed as a dome-shaped cap (6) and is seated on a collar (12) which lies concentric to the tube (9) and which collar protrudes outwardly beyond the wall (10). A removable closure lid has a stopper which extends into the dispenser outlet opening.
