Abstract: A metered dispenser includes a housing including a reciprocable piston drive stem including an inlet opening at a first end thereof, a floating piston at a second end, and a passage between the first and second ends. An inlet valve is provided adjacent the first end for permitting entry of liquid product into the passage. A biased cocking mechanism is reciprocally disposed substantially within the housing. A biased loading mechanism is movable in a second generally opposite direction by the cocking mechanism, and is engageable with the piston drive stem to move the drive stem in the second direction. When the cocking mechanism is moved from an initial rest position toward the second direction, a series of operations allow the loading mechanism to project the drive stem in the first direction to dispense a metered dose of liquid product through a discharge orifice provided adjacent the second end.

The base element has a top and a sidewall, and has a container tube attachment mechanism located under the top that is adapted to affix the base element to a container tube. The top has a content outlet and an elongated applicator nozzle at the content outlet that extends upwardly therefrom. The cap is adapted to fit onto the base element. It has an upper portion with a top and a sidewall and a lower portion with a downward extension of the sidewall. The upper portion includes an applicator nozzle sealing mechanism to seal the applicator nozzle when the cap is in a closed position. There is at least one keyway latching system that includes a track having a downward entry section and an upward locking section, and includes a track rider corresponding to the track.

Abstract: A child resistant container for stick applicators is described that is directed to keeping children out of the container prior to use, and to secure the container and its contents after use. In one embodiment, the container includes a combination cap and plug. The plug has a first and a second position relative to the cap, and the cap is not removable when the plug is in its first position and pulled, and is removable when the plug is in its second position and pulled. In another embodiment, a plug cap cannot be removed from the container unless a bottom cap is rotated to a go radial position and pushed in. When it is pushed into the tube container, the applicator functions as a push rod to open the top cap. The used applicator may be reinserted in an altered orientation, e.g., shortened or turned upside down and inserted, with the bottom cap pushed in, and the top cap reinserted into the top, access to the used applicator is inhibited.

Abstract: A child resistant multiple dosage blister pack dispenser includes a main housing bottom component having walls and a bottom panel for supporting a blister pack, a middle component, and a main top component. The bottom panel has a plurality of rows of orifices located so as to position a blister pack thereabove, with individual dosages of the blister pack located above the orifices, so that individual dosages are pushed therethrough from the blister pack. The main housing top component is connected to the middle component and is laterally moveable. It has a first position, being a rest position, and a second position, being a dispensing position. There is a biasing spring connected to at least one of the components, that biases the top component relative to the middle component so that the top component is in its first position. There are a plurality of push tabs located on the top component for dispensing in a second position.

Abstract: A metered dose dispensing dabber device includes a dabber main housing having a container attachment for affixing the device to a container, a metered dosage reservoir, a hollow dip tube, a metered dosage reservoir outlet, and a valve. The main housing has a base divider wall, this base divider wall having an underside and top side. Further, the base divider wail is closed to prevent liquid from passing from the underside to the top side. The metered dosage reservoir has enclosed walls and is located above the top side of the divider wall. The hollow dip tube passes through the base divider wall and extends downwardly therefrom for insertion into a container. The dip tube also extends upwardly to a predetermined height in the metered dosage reservoir to establish a fill level. The metered dosage reservoir outlet is located on a metered dosage reservoir wall opposite the dip tube. The valve is located in the reservoir outlet, in proximity to the dip tube.

Abstract: A child resistant multiple dosage blister pack dispenser includes a main housing bottom component having walls and a bottom panel for supporting a blister pack, and a main top component. The bottom panel has a plurality of orifices located so as to position a blister pack thereabove, with individual dosages of the blister pack located above the orifices. These orifices are of sufficient size and shape to push individual dosages from the blister pack therethrough. The main housing top component is permanently connected to the bottom component and is laterally moveable relative to the bottom component. The top component has a first position, being a rest position, and having a second position, being a dispensing position. There is a biasing spring connected to at least one of the bottom component and the top component, that biases the top component relative to the bottom component so that the top component is in its first position.

Abstract: A child resistant blister pack holder is described that includes (a.) a main housing receiving pocket having an open end for insertion and removal of blister pack; (b.) a locking mechanism adapted to lock onto and hold a blister pack in the main housing to prevent removal thereof; and, (c.) a release mechanism. The release mechanism, which is connected to the locking mechanism, has a first position wherein the locking mechanism is locked onto the blister pack, and a second position wherein the locking mechanism is unlocked from the blister pack. The release mechanism is located, at least in part, on an outside area of the main housing to permit manual movement thereof from the first position to the second position. A spring biases the release mechanism to its first position. In some embodiments, the invention is a system which includes the child resistant blister pack holder and a blister pack that contains a lock engaging section in the form of an orifice, recession or protrusion.

Abstract: A child resistant overcap and container device is specifically for containers having non-round bodies, at least non-round upper bodies, with round necks, especially oval shaped containers. The container has a round neck for attachment of an inner cap. The shape of the container is such that it is wider than it is deep, to create side to side shoulders. There is also a collar permanently attached to the neck that has an open, central circular portion and a pair of opposite shoulders extending outwardly from side to side above the shoulders of the container. The collar has either at least one J-slot or at least one J-slot tracking protrusion located on at least one of its front and back. There is also an overcap having a front and back and opposing sides, and having a hollow inside. The overcap has an outside footprint substantially corresponding to the footprint of the container.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a child resistant, disposable, premeasured dosage spoon.
