Patent number: 11253881Abstract: A non-metal pump type cosmetic container according to an embodiment of the present invention may efficiently process recycling after use. Also, Due to an operation of the elastic pump that is more flexible than a rigid metal spring, pumping may be achieved and thus a cosmetic material may be sensitively discharged even by a small force, leading to increases in tactile sensitivity and operational sensitivity. In addition, the structure of the elastic pump formed of resin having a relatively good deformation property is improved such that the elastic pump delicately may descend without being distorted during deformation, contributing to an improvement in product reliability according to a precise operation of each component.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2020Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: DONGGI P&I CO., Ltd.Inventor: Hyoung Taek Yang

Patent number: 11241007Abstract: A liquid scent dispenser may include a container, an attachment component, and a cap. The container may define an opening at a first end and an interior portion housing a liquid scent. A first attachment opening defined by the attachment component may be engaged with the container opening. The attachment component may define a second opening and an interior volume housing an amount of air. The cap may be engaged with the second opening and may define at least one scent dispense tube, which may be in fluid communication with the interior container volume. The dispenser may be configured to permit an expansion of air pressure in its interior volume when there is an increase in ambient temperature, so that air displaces a portion of the liquid scent from the dispenser, which passes through the interior volume into the cap and exits the dispenser through a scent dispense tube.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2017Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER, INC.Inventors: Samuel A. Burgeson, Shawn McKinney
