  • Patent number: 5894960
    Abstract: A non-aerosol fluid dispenser includes a pump defining a fluid chamber associated with the fluid path extending between the container and fluid outlet. The pump comprises a base presenting a chamber opening, a generally non-deformable panel, a hinge about which the panel swings relative to the base, and a hollow, collapsible bellow section extending between the panel and the base. The dispenser includes a boss sealingly received within the chamber opening, with the fluid path extending through the boss and into the chamber between the supply and discharge valves. Accordingly, when the panel is swung toward the base, the bellows section uniformly collapses, whereby positive pressure created within the chamber closes the supply valve and opens the discharge valve for discharging fluid through the dispenser outlet.

  • Patent number: 4561544
    Abstract: A child resistant container for pills and the like has a tray which slidably engages a lid and is locked in a fully closed position as a spring arm on the tray urges a locking detent on the arm into engagement with a locking aperture located in an adjacent side wall of the lid. Manual depression of the detent releases the tray for opening as an exposed front wall thereof is pulled.

  • Patent number: 4204614
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser includes an actuator containing fluid passages defining a discharge path for fluid from a supply container to a discharge orifice, a needle valve lying adjacent the discharge path, a nipple surrounding the needle valve and a nozzle cap having an end wall containing a discharge orifice and being threadedly engaged with the nipple for movement of the end wall toward and away from the valve upon cap rotation. Discharge through the orifice may be positively shut-off upon rotation of the cap which causes the valve to be seated against the discharge orifice, and the nozzle cap may be locked in an off position upon engagement between a spring biased tab provided on the actuator and an inwardly extending shoulder provided on the skirt of the cap. A ramp member on the cap includes a ramp surface and the shoulder so as to effect inward deflection of the tab upon engagement with the ramp surface during cap rotation toward the off position.
