Patent number: 6168050Abstract: A pump for dispensing liquids includes a hollow cylindrical support body having an annular channel formed at a first axial end of the body and open towards the internal cavity of the body. A pumping member in the form of a resiliently-flexible, cup-shaped diaphragm has its cavity facing the annular channel. A lever is pivoted about a pin carried by the hollow cylindrical body and includes a first end that engages the cup-shaped diaphragm of the pumping member for collapsing the diaphragm when it is desired to dispense liquid. A tubular element extends through the cup-shaped diaphragm of the pumping member and guides the axial movement of the pumping member.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 1999Date of Patent: January 2, 2001Assignee: Guala Dispensing S.p.A.Inventor: Piero Battegazzore

Patent number: 5839620Abstract: An atomizer for liquids, operated manually by a lever with a trigger operating a dispensing pump with a flexible suction tube penetrating into the container in which the liquid to be sprayed is located, and having a ballast weight fixed to the suction tube. The atomizer comprises retaining structure, which can be released when required, in the form of a lever which keeps the ballast weight locked to the dispensing pump and the suction tube gathered up against the dispensing pump. The ballast weight retaining structure is released after the atomizer has been mounted on the container, once the latter has been filled. In this way the flexible suction tube is extended and can follow the ballast weight by gravity regardless of the orientation of the container.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 1997Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Guala Dispensing S.r.l.Inventor: Piero Battegazzore

Patent number: 5813573Abstract: A dispenser for the simultaneous delivery of at least two paste-like products, comprising a container with a head and internally formed with two separate cylindrical chambers which lie side by side parallel to their longitudinal axes, each chamber being open towards the head and having an associated end wall which sealingly slides in a single direction towards the head. A resilient pump member under the head includes a tubular sleeve and is formed from a resiliently flexible cup-shape membrane for each cylindrical chamber of the container with the concave part facing towards these latter. An operating lever for pressing and releasing the pump member is pivoted about an axis which is fixed with respect to the container disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the said cylindrical chambers and which is turnable about the said axis from a rest position to a paste delivery position and vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 1996Date of Patent: September 29, 1998Assignee: Guala S.p.A.Inventor: Piero Battegazzore

Patent number: 5657930Abstract: An atomizer device for liquids pressurized by a manually operated pump, without pressurizers, comprises a nozzle with an obturator to which a plunger member is connected, The liquid pressurized by the pump acts on this plunger and moves the obturator against a spring, opening the nozzle. Interceptors, which allow the liquid to pass and consequently to be sprayed outwards only when the obturator has moved by a given amount, moving away from the nozzle and forming a predetermined chamber about the nozzle, are provided in the passage for the liquid to the nozzle. The uniformity of the fan of the jet of liquid within the course of each operating cycle of the pump and its constancy in the different cycles is thus ensured.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 1995Date of Patent: August 19, 1997Inventor: Piero Battegazzore

Patent number: 5332126Abstract: A device for the automatic opening and closing of a container for pastes, such as toothpaste and the like, including a compressable tubular body closed at one end and provided with a dispenser head includes a dispensing duct including two portions at an angle forming an intersection aperture. A piston is positioned to slide sealingly inside the first portion of the dispensing duct so that it closes the intersection aperture when at rest but opens it when the user squezees the tubular body forcing the paste into the first portion of the dispensing duct. The piston is connected by its rod, through an aperture in the first portion of the dispensing duct, to a resilient arm supporting a plate-like element which covers the outlet orifice through which the product is dispensed. The movement of the piston also opens the outlet orifice and accumulates elastic energy in the arm which automatically returns the device to its closed position.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 1993Date of Patent: July 26, 1994Assignee: Guala S.p.A.Inventor: Piero Battegazzore
