Patent number: 10669074Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing flowable material. The dispenser comprises a resiliently deformable body encompassing a closed volume with an optional flexible pouch disposed therein to accommodate the flowable material. A discharge element having at least one discharge opening, along with at least one valve regulating flow from the closed volume or the flexible pouch and through the discharge opening is also provided. The body is configured so that a threshold amount of deformation of the body causes the flowable material to urge from the closed body through the discharge opening or the pressure increase of the closed volume acting on the flexible pouch sufficiently so that flowable material accommodated in the flexible pouch is urged therefrom through the discharge opening.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2018Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: BEIERSDORF AGInventors: Melissa Marie Simpson, Rutao Li, Jerry V. Foster, III, Jose Gamboa, Martin Johnson, Stephen Joel Zwonitzer, Eric J. Schmidt

Publication number: 20190084726Abstract: In one aspect, a dispenser is provided herein for dispensing flowable material, such as sunscreen lotion, including a resiliently deformable body encompassing a closed volume with an optional flexible pouch disposed therein to accommodate the flowable material. A discharge element is also provided having at least one discharge opening, along with at least one valve regulating flow from the closed volume or the flexible pouch and through the discharge opening. The body is configured so that a threshold amount of deformation of the body causes the flowable material to urge from the closed body through the discharge opening or the pressure increase of the closed volume acting on the flexible pouch sufficiently so that flowable material accommodated in the flexible pouch is urged therefrom through the discharge opening. Advantageously, the dispenser of the subject invention allows for a generally isobaric environment to be created which acts evenly about the flexible pouch.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2018Publication date: March 21, 2019Inventors: Melissa Marie SIMPSON, Rutao LI, Jerry V. FOSTER, III, Jose GAMBOA, Martin JOHNSON, Stephen Joel ZWONITZER, Eric J. SCHMIDT
