Abstract: A toothbrush and toothpaste system utilizing a container for the toothpaste which includes a chamber having a movable piston within the same. A spline is generally centrally located within the chamber with the movable piston circumjacently located relative to the spline. The piston is intended to contact toothpaste which is loaded within the chamber. The pistons movement is biased in one direction along the line. A head is connected to the container and includes a bristle structure usable as a toothbrush. The head includes a passageway which communicates with the adjacent chamber of the container and the bristle structure of the head. A valve separated by movement of the spline opens the passageway permitting communication between the chamber and the bristle structure. Springs means is also included for closing the valve relative to the container. The piston continually moves along the spline during the delivery of toothpaste to the bristle structure in only one direction within the chamber of the container.

Abstract: A dispenser for viscous material, such as shoe polish, comprising a substantially cylindrical reservoir having near one reservoir end a filling discharge passage terminating in a distribution channel extending through a porous applicator. At least a part of the dispenser wall is deformable for pressing the filling out of the reservoir through the filling discharge passage into the distribution channel. The dispenser is characterized in that at the other end of the reservoir (16,24), there is provided a follower piston (6,28) which, while confining the filling at the discharge end of the reservoir, under the influence of a force exerted axially on the piston body (6,24), is movable stepwise in the direction of the filling discharge passage (9,29). The dispenser is further provided with pumping means operative upon deformation of the deformable portion (3,34) of the dispenser wall (2,25), which portion is resilient.

Abstract: The dispenser (1) includes a body (2) made of two separable parts (2a; 2b). The front part (2a) receives a reservoir (4), containing the product (3) to be dispensed, between an outlet opening (5) and a piston (6), which is controlled by a rod (7) that is displaceable translationally and incrementally by a mechanism (8) housed in the rear part (2b). The rod (7) includes rear catches (29a) and front catches (29b) that normally mesh with the notches (22), and elastic regions (28) between the catches that exert a restoring force on a pushbutton (9) closing the rear part (2b). Rotation of the pushbutton (9) by 90 degrees drives the cage in rotation and puts it in a position in which the catches bear on the flats (21), which disengages the mechanism. In the engaged position, any thrust on the pushbutton brings about an advancement of the rod (7) equal to one notch in a rack.
