Abstract: This invention relates to a manual liquid dispensing device for spraying liquid by squeezing the trigger thereof. An adapter is inserted into a cylinder bore forming a pressurizing chamber. A piston is slidably mounted within the adapter. This adapter has an inlet communicating with the intake portion and an outlet communicating with an outlet passage to a nozzle hole formed at the bottom end thereof. A valve advantageously formed is attached to the end of the adapter to open only the inlet at pressure reducing time of the pressurizing chamber and to open only the outlet at pressurizing time. This valve is made of elastic material as a single unit.

Abstract: A lid made of a syntheticresin and swingable like a cover for a book to open or close the opening of a container. A leg or legs of desired length extending rearwardly from the rear end of a lid plate renders the lid plate capable of maintaining a desired open position, and moving automatically into its open and closed positions. Such capabilities of the lid plate depend on the force created by a flat surface carrying a hinge base to urge the free end of the leg upwardly, the elasticity of a hinge and the hinge base, and the distance defined between the hinge and the free end of the leg which has been moved. The lid is particularly suitable for a compact for a cosmetic, or the like.
