Abstract: An applicator assembly, a method of assembly of the applicator and a method of use of the applicator. The applicator assembly includes a reservoir body, a neck that extends from the reservoir body and includes an exposable opening at a distal end thereof and a shroud that extends from the distal end about the exposable opening and a cap that is integrally formed with and releasably fixed to the distal end of the neck, fully encompassing the opening in the neck and sealing the reservoir body.
Abstract: The current invention relates to a dispenser comprising a container (A) for holding a product to be dispensed and a dispensing mechanism (B), said dispenser comprises i. a container body (Q) having a bottom (E), and a means for interconnecting said bottom with a side opposite thereto; said container body further including at least one outlet opening (F) arranged in or near the side opposite to said bottom, preferably in or near the upper half of the means interconnecting the bottom with the side opposite to said bottom, ii. a conduct (G) connecting said container body, extending from the outlet opening (F), with said dispensing mechanism, iii. a trigger sprayer (H) and, iv. a neck (K) connecting said trigger sprayer (H) with said conduct (G) wherein said neck (K) and said conduct (G) are linked to said container body (Q) so that said neck (K) and said conduct (G) form a swan-neck or a U-shape extending from said outlet opening (F) so as to exchange air pressure and product to be dispensed.
Abstract: Rotary seal valve/container assembly allowing withdrawal of a medical fluid contained in the container by the use of a device such as a syringe or IV set having a luer connector. The rotary seal valve includes: an elastomeric stopper having a cavity; a rotary seal bottom insert positioned in the bottom portion of the cavity; a rotary seal top insert, equipped with threads and serving as a male luer connector, rotatably engaging the bottom insert. One or more holes are provided in the bottom inset and top insert which holes are alignable with each other, by rotating the top insert, forming one or more channels through which the medical fluid is accessed. Upon rotating the top insert in opposite direction the rotary valve can be closed. A removable cap positioned over the rotary seal valve maintains the rotary seal valve in aseptic condition.
