  • Publication number: 20210086213
    Abstract: A connection system between a head and a bottle of a trigger dispensing device includes a main skirt having a first flexible tab and a neck (2b) having a first sloping plane and a first pocket. The first flexible tab extends circumferentially from a first end to a second end, and the first end is joined to an annular wall by a closing wall. The system also provides for an auxiliary window obtained through the annular wall of the main skirt, and a rigid auxiliary tooth of the neck, suitable to snap into the auxiliary window.

  • Publication number: 20200384490
    Abstract: A dispensing device for paste products, including toothpaste, is provided. The dispensing device includes a container, a pumping diaphragm and a head applied to the container. The head is equipped with a tube and a button for acting on the diaphragm and deforming it for dispensing. The button has a pressure surface for a user's dispensing action. An extension element which, in an active position, is arranged as an extension of the pressure surface of the button, increases a leverage effect.

  • Publication number: 20200316630
    Abstract: A dispensing device including a bottle provided with a neck and a trigger dispensing head fitted to the neck is provided. The dispensing head includes a socket at least partially housed in the neck compartment, a main body that, with the socket, delimits a valve compartment in the neck, a valve group, a piston, a chassis, a trigger group, and elastic return elements. The valve group is contained in the valve compartment, limiting the overall size of the device.

  • Publication number: 20200261934
    Abstract: A connection system between a trigger dispensing head and a bottle of a dispensing device is provided. The neck of the bottle and the skirt of the trigger dispensing head are engageable with each other exclusively in a relevant predefined angular position, wherein the axial snap-engagement between the skirt and the neck is allowed.

  • Patent number: 10413926
    Abstract: The present invention relates to fluid dispensing devices for use in dispensing different liquids (e.g., bleach and bleach activator) from a bottle having first and second compartments. To minimize the presence of mixed composition residually present within the fluid dispensing device, it may be helpful to delay mixing. Separate dip tubes may be provided to pull liquid from the separate compartments, each with its own separate pump. Each pump may deliver the separate compositions to a spray nozzle of the device through separate delivery tubes (e.g., from the pumps to the nozzle). In other embodiments, a single delivery tube, and/or a single pump may be provided, e.g., where the volume of mixed composition that may be present in such pump and/or delivery tube may be sufficiently small so as to still provide overall desired efficacy characteristics. Dual delivery tube configurations may eliminate any need to prime the device by spraying out old, residual mixed composition.

  • Publication number: 20190091709
    Abstract: A trigger dispenser device (1) envisages a secondary liquid aspiration duct (50) in communication with the dispenser duct, and a primary liquid aspiration duct (8) in communication with the container, off-axis with each other. Between these, a joining compartment (64) is provided communicating upstream with the primary liquid aspiration duct (8) and communicating downstream with the secondary liquid aspiration duct (50) to form the fluidic connection between them. In particular, the container (C) is of the type with built-in suction pipe.

  • Patent number: 10046347
    Abstract: A head (4) of a trigger dispensing device for liquids includes an auxiliary body (30) for the connection with a neck (10) of a bottle (2). The auxiliary body (30) includes a closure base (32) suitable to close a mouth (13?) of the bottle (2) and dual constraints suitable to snap-engage with the neck (10) forming between the auxiliary body (30) and the neck (10) a constraint both to the relative rotation and to the separation thereof.
