  • Patent number: 6745763
    Abstract: In existing vaporizers the medication passes through unsterilized passages which preclude heir use to administer sterile medications. The present invention therefore provides a device for dispensing a vaporized spray of sterile medicated liquid. It uses a combination atomizing and pressure release valve in which there is a flexible membrane with an aperture, and a plug extending upwardly through the aperture and having a surface against which the membrane is biassed in the closed position, the membrane lifting off the surface of the plug in the open position to thereby open the aperture.

  • Patent number: 6592789
    Abstract: An apparatus and methods for mixing and injecting a foam core within an extruded shell preferably of plastic downstream from an extrusion die to produce a uniform building product. The preferred apparatus includes a mixing head injector for mixing a binary system foam. The mixing head injector incorporates pressurized gas injection for homogenization of the foam core. A preferred method employs the mixing head injector and a novel calibrator thereby allowing injection of a foam core within the shell as it passes through a calibrator to reliably produce a uniform building product. An alternative method employs a second extruder. Alternative methods employ a mounting fixture downstream of a first calibrator.

  • Patent number: 5303850
    Abstract: A tamper indicating closure includes a one-piece cap having a dispensing outlet which is aligned with a dispensing outlet in the neck of a bottle upon rotation of the cap. A removable tamper resistant detent extends downwardly from the top end of the cap and nests with a recess in the upper edge of the neck of the bottle to prevent rotation of the cap. The removable tamper resistant detent is torn free of the cap such that the cap can be rotated to an open position. The closure may also contain a flexible spout which can be folded outwardly by rotation of the cap to an open position.

  • Patent number: 5265753
    Abstract: A box for a flexible bag liner is formed from a blank of sheet material such as corrugated paperboard. The primary feature of the box is a retaining and locking structure for a spout of the bag liner disposed on an inner top flap. The inner top flap is attached to an inner portion of a side wall, and retains the spout in an aperture in either a retracted position or a dispensing position. The aperture secures the spout rigidly to facilitate filling and dispensing. An outer top flap covers the spout both during shipping and storage between uses.

  • Patent number: 5106015
    Abstract: A container having four vertical sides, a top side and a bottom side, the six sides being connected to form a cube. The six sides are joined at the edges of the cube, and the juncture of one vertical edge with two upper edges forms a slanted surface. A pouring spout is mounted on the slanted surface and is inset from the planes of the adjacent sides so that it does not interfere with nesting and stacking. A handle is attached to the top side, at approximately its center, for carrying purposes, the handle being foldable to a flat position to facilitate stacking. The container is formed by cutting a blank from a flat sheet of relatively stiff material, and folding the blank along creases to form a closed container. The top and four sides are folded and sealed first, the pouring spout is installed, the container is filled through the open bottom side, and then the bottom side is folded and sealed.

  • Patent number: 4407779
    Abstract: A dispersion control device for use in a toilet tank for dispensing a soluble solid, in solution, in a controlled manner into the tank. The device includes a cap having a conical portion which extends inwardly and downwardly into the interior of the cap. The cap is attached to a container which contains the soluble solid, and the cap has a plurality of slots in the walls of the conical portion and a hole at the lowermost portion of the conical portion. In operation, the conical portion of the cap defines an intermediate holding chamber which holds and allows dispersion of a specified concentration and predetermined amount of solution into the tank, as a result of the flows that occur during flushing.

  • Patent number: 4000839
    Abstract: A child resistant dispensing container end closure is disclosed which includes a one-piece cap and a one-piece lid removably secured to the cap. The cap includes several openings for dispensing the contents of the container, and the lid covers the openings to prevent dispensing when the lid is in place on the cap. The cap includes an axially recessed center portion, and an annular safety wall encircles the recessed center portion. The lid is frictionally secured in the recess, and an outer peripheral wall and outer peripheral corner of the lid closely confront the safety wall of the cap about their entire annular extent. This limits access to the peripheral wall and peripheral corner of the lid so that the lid cannot be grasped and removed by a child.
