Abstract: A therapeutic substance dispensing shower head system has a shower head and a therapeutic substance carrying cartridge that is removably inserted into the shower head to diffuse the therapeutic substance into the water flowing through the shower head. The cartridge is configured for single hand manipulation and is inserted into a cartridge socket that is provided in the face of the shower head to make operation simple. The diffusion rate of the substance into the water flow is variably controlled by turning the cartridge while it is inserted in the cartridge socket. The diffusion is not predicated on aspiration or venturi concepts and thus is not sensitive to different water pressures and flow rates.

Abstract: The fillable closure is used to trigger the emptying of a capsule that can be inserted in the closure and filled separately. The closure consists of a closing cap which can be attached to the neck of a container and in which a separately fillable capsule can be inserted in the closed state from beneath. The region above the inserted capsule on the closing cap forms a push button. A downwardly projecting protuberance is molded on the lower face. The protuberance abuts against the inserted capsule. Using pressure from above, the push button can be pressed to deform an initially convex shape as seen from above into a concave shape, the protuberance pushing the upper face of the capsule and the content thereof downward. A film, which forms the lower face of the capsule, is thus placed under tensile stress such that it breaks or bursts along weakened lines.

Abstract: A dispensing cap sealingly mountable within the throat of a beverage container has an open-bottomed flow tube connected to a surrounding skirt by a resilient diaphragm, forming a storage chamber surrounding the flow tube. An annular base cap at the base of the flow tube is releasably engageable with the skirt to close off the bottom of the storage chamber. A downward force applied to the flow tube will resiliently deform the diaphragm and downwardly disengage the base cap from the skirt, thus releasing the contents of the storage chamber into the container. The flow tube extends above the storage chamber and terminates in a flow assembly having a cap sleeve movable between a closed position and a “consume” position in which the contents of the container can flow through the flow tube and out an opening in the cap sleeve.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a water pump that may be easily constructed from inexpensive parts and materials and that is powered by the water source from which the water to be pumped is drawn.
