This content-accommodating container comprises: a container body having an opening at the top end; and a valve-accommodating part for closing the opening, the valve-accommodating part being fixed to the container body. The valve-accommodating part is provided with: a cylindrical housing part accommodated inside the container body; a tube part extending downward from the housing part, the lower end thereof being disposed near the bottom side of the container body; and a first sealing part for closing the bottom end of the tube part.

A refill for devices for evaporating volatile substances includes a body (1) provided with a neck (2). The body has a first coupling means (4; 5; 6) for coupling the body to a device (10; 20; 30) for evaporating volatile substances and also at least a second coupling means (4; 5; 6) for coupling the body to a device for evaporating volatile substances (10; 20; 30). The refill can be used with different devices for evaporating volatile substances by using one of said coupling means, depending on the means provided in the device.

A device for delivering a compound to the olfactory region of the nasal cavity includes an actuator body and a tip configured to removably couple to the actuator body. The actuator body comprises a propellant channel in fluid communication with a propellant canister. The tip comprises a tip stem, a dip tube, a delivery channel, one or more puncture members, and an outlet orifice. The tip stem receives a compound container containing the compound and the compound container moves between a sealed state and an unsealed state. The one or more puncture members are each configured to puncture the compound container when the compound container is in the unsealed state. Propellant released from the canister travels through the propellant channel and into the punctured compound container, thereby contacting the compound and propelling the compound through the delivery channel and out the outlet orifice.

A concentrate cartridge comprising includes a hollow cylindrical element having a chamber formed therein. The Chamber is configured to receive a concentrate material therein. The hollow cylindrical element has an upper end and a lower open end. A seal is configured to seal the lower open end of the hollow cylindrical element. A cap is configured to be received on the lower open end of the hollow cylindrical element.

A chemical resistant elastomeric cap that can be secured to the head of a pump type liquid dispenser with a delivery nozzle that can be used to seal off the dispenser nozzle to prevent fluid dripping from the end of the nozzle and to prevent air from reaching the end of the nozzle to dry fluid in the nozzle outlet orifice and/or the nozzle tip. The cap is one piece and has an attachment ring of elastomeric material than can to fitted around the dispenser head to retain the cap with the dispenser and the attach bottle whether the cap is fitted over the nozzle or free from the nozzle.

A dispenser pump has a plunger operable in a body including an outer cylinder body having a vent opening in its sidewall and a body insert fitting into the top of the outer body and providing an external collar through which the plunger stem operates. The body insert has lock-down threads to lock down the plunger for shipping. The insert also has formations for blocking or unblocking the vent opening by rotation between the outer body and body insert, driven by rotation of the plunger head which makes a catch engagement with the top of the body insert. This plunger head rotation is the locking or unlocking action for the plunger lock-down. Blocking the vent during shipping reduces leakage.

Disclosed herein is a cosmetic container. The cosmetic container includes an inner cap coupled to a mouth of the container that accommodates contents therein, a pump coupled to the inner cap and inserted into the mouth of the container to discharge a fixed amount of contents, a push button provided in an upper portion of the inner cap, operating the pump by a push operation, and having on a side thereof a nozzle to discharge the contents, and a dip tube coupled at one end thereof to the pump to communicate therewith and inclined at the other end thereof downwards in a direction of a tip of the nozzle, a tip of the dip tube being disposed on an edge of a bottom surface of the container.

An all-polymer reciprocating pump (100) is contemplated. The pump body (160) receives a sliding insert (170) that may be locked in a down position to minimize the extension and profile of the actuator (120) while the pump (100) is not in use (e.g., for purposes of shipping in e-commerce). Projections (171) slide within guides (181) formed on an insert housing (180). Even in this down locked position, minimal compression is applied to the biasing members (130) so as to avoid fatigue, wear, and/or failure of the plastic components.

Described is a dispenser for dispensing a fluid contained in a plastic bottle, including a ring nut having a cylindrical conduit for sucking the fluid; a concertina-like deformable element including side walls defining a dosing chamber; a ring identifying with the ring nut a locking system defining an operating and non-operating configurations; a dispensing head, which can be pressed by a user and having a collection chamber collecting the fluid flowing from the dosing chamber through a central opening of the ring; first and second shutoff elements defining, respectively, a check valve at the inlet and a check valve at the outlet of the dosing chamber; a locking element interfering with at least one between the first and the second shutoff elements to lock it in the fixed position and thereby occlude the suction conduit and/or the central opening in a stable manner at least in a dispensing configuration.
