Abstract: The new invention allows for easy retrieval of fall backs and eases the initial threading process upon initial opening/use of the package. Threading is done without removing the cap. Several of the embodiments allow refills to be inserted into the canister without removing the lid/cap. The layout of the dispensing system and the geometry and shape of the dispensing orifice/aperture minimize and mitigate product fall backs. The new invention improves performance of the orifices/apertures through unique geometry and shape as well as using different materials from existing products or the combination of multiple materials. Varying orifice diameter, co-molded density and stiffness or geometry of the actual lobes defining the dispensing aperture allows the precise amount of friction to be created in the dispensing opening for selectively grabbing or releasing the towelette, thereby tearing the towelette connecting perforations at just the right time.

Abstract: A vapour dispensing device in which a flowable substance 5 to be vaporised is dispensed from a reservoir 4 onto an emanator pad 9. The reservoir is provided with an outlet 6 and an air inlet 7. These are positioned in relationship to the emanator pad such that some of the substance leaving outlet 6 is conveyed by the emanator pad into the vicinity of the air inlet. When the pad adjacent to the air inlet is wetted, it becomes impermeable to air. As no further air can enter the reservoir 4, the vacuum in the head space prevents the dispensing of further substance from the outlet 6. This causes a drying of the emanator pad 9 which then becomes air permeable allowing further flow from the reservoir. This effectively provides a negative feedback arrangement which regulates the flow from the reservoir.
