Abstract: A liquid dispensing unit for a hair removal device with a reservoir and an applicator in liquid communication with the reservoir. A first and second connector are in liquid communication with the reservoir. The first and second connector each have a respective first and second valve. A resilient tube is disposed between the connectors. The resilient tube has a neutral position with both valves closed and a second position with one valve open and one valve closed.

Abstract: A dispenser for applying at least two compositions, the dispenser including at least two reservoirs for storing the at least two compositions separately, at least two pumps for pumping the at least two compositions, which pumps have different strokes, an exit orifice, and an actuator assembly. The difference between the first stroke and the second stroke is accommodated through flexure of a flexing member in the actuator assembly. The first composition includes microcapsules and the second composition includes a volatile solvent.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing razor with a handle defining a cavity. A cartridge mounted to the handle. The cartridge has a cap, a guard and one or more blades between the cap and the guard. A fluid applicator is mounted to the shaving razor cartridge for delivering fluid to a surface to be shaved. A fluid reservoir is at least partially positioned within the cavity of the handle. The fluid reservoir has an inner wall defining an opening and a frangible seal within the opening. A fluid connector is positioned within the cavity. The fluid connector has an angled tip configured to pierce the frangible seal to establish a fluid connection between the fluid applicator and the fluid reservoir. The fluid reservoir has an inner wall with an annular rib that engages the fluid connector.

Abstract: A hair removal device comprising a handle enclosing a collapsible reservoir a, said hair removal device having at least on pressure applicator, such as in the form of a mono-stable button, wherein the mono-stable button is adapted to pressurize air in the handle, thereby collapsing the collapsible reservoir and causing fluid to be expelled from the hair removal device.

Abstract: A process for flushing a dispenser and a process for combining a first composition and a second composition to form a mixture and dispensing said mixture through an exit orifice are provided; assemblies for flushing are also provided.

Abstract: A process for flushing a dispenser that dispenses liquids, especially perfumes, containing microcapsules. The dispenser has a first reservoir for a first composition containing microcapsules and a second reservoir for a second composition containing a volatile solvent. The dispenser also has a swirl chamber and a premix chamber. The process simultaneously pumps the first and second compositions into the premix chamber and then into the swirl chamber. The pumping of the first composition is halted while the pumping of the second composition continues, and this provides an extra volume of the volatile solvent, which flushes the dispenser to prevent clogging by the microcapsules.

Abstract: A dispenser for applying at least two compositions, the dispenser including at least two reservoirs for storing the at least two compositions, at least two pumps for pumping the at least two compositions, a premix chamber containing a mixing element for mixing the two compositions, at least two channels for delivering the compositions from the reservoirs to the premix chamber, an exit orifice, optionally a swirl chamber, and an actuator.

Abstract: A hair removal device is provided, comprising a handle and a collapsible reservoir suitable for containing a fluid to be dispensed during use of the hair removal device, the hair removal device additionally comprising a container enclosing the collapsible reservoir, a fluid outlet adapted to allow fluid to exit both the collapsible reservoir and the container, an orifice adapted to allow air to flow in or out of the container, and a suction device, adapted to suck fluid out of the collapsible reservoir through fluid outlet, wherein the fluid outlet comprises an applicator. The container can be rigid, deformably rigid, or a combination of both.
