A trigger dispenser device (1) envisages a secondary liquid aspiration duct (50) in communication with the dispenser duct, and a primary liquid aspiration duct (8) in communication with the container, off-axis with each other. Between these, a joining compartment (64) is provided communicating upstream with the primary liquid aspiration duct (8) and communicating downstream with the secondary liquid aspiration duct (50) to form the fluidic connection between them. In particular, the container (C) is of the type with built-in suction pipe.

A dispenser device includes: a valve system, a dispensing head for dispensing liquid and connected with a transfer tube to the valve system, a dispensing pump connected to the valve system, a first inlet port for conducting rinse liquid to the valve system, and a second inlet port for conducting rinse gas to the valve system. The device includes control equipment for operating the valve system so that the flow via the transfer tube towards the dispensing head includes both the rinse liquid and the rinse gas. The rinse gas is capable of collecting gas bubbles formed on the inner walls of the transfer tube to larger amounts of gas. Thus, the rinse gas facilitates the removal of the gas bubbles with the aid of the rinse liquid.

An arrangement for activating an aerosol dispenser having a conveying tube for conveying a liquid; a movable holding member holding the conveying tube; a rotatable base; and a container chamber between the holding member and the base, wherein the arrangement is configured to transmit a loading rotation of the base to a substantially axial loading movement of the holding member towards the base, and wherein the holding member has a locking structure exposed to the container chamber. An aerosol dispenser having the arrangement and a method for activating an aerosol dispenser are also provided.

A tensioning arrangement for an aerosol dispenser is presented where the tensioning arrangement has a conveying tube; an elastic member arranged to store mechanical energy from a substantially axial tensioning movement of the conveying tube; a rotatable member; a transmission mechanism configured to transmit a tensioning rotation of the rotatable member to the tensioning movement of the conveying tube, wherein the transmission mechanism has a cam profile and a cam follower arranged to follow the cam profile, wherein the cam profile has at least one priming structure; and wherein the tensioning arrangement is configured such that the conveying tube makes a temporary priming movement towards an initial position when the cam follower passes each priming structure during the tensioning movement of the conveying tube by means of the tensioning rotation of the rotatable member. An aerosol dispenser is also provided.

A plural material dispensing system (10) includes a pump (38) having a cylinder (52) mounted between a first bracket (32) and a second bracket (34), a piston (54) disposed within the cylinder (52), and a pump rod (48) extending from the piston (54) and out of the first bracket (32). Material is provided to the cylinder (52) through a flow path extending through the pump rod (48). The piston (54) drives material downstream out of the cylinder (52), and the interface between the piston (54) and the inner surface of the cylinder (52) provides a dynamic seal during pumping. The flow of material into and out of the pump (38) is controlled by actively-controlled inlet and outlet valves.

A system for capture of dose delivery information is provided. The system includes a medication delivery device, a dose information capture device adapted to he attached to the medication delivery device, and a target element adapted to be attached to the medication delivery device. The target element comprises a magnet or ferrous element and the target element attaches to the medication delivery device on a dose delivery mechanism of the medication delivery device. The dose information capture device includes a magnetic position sensor adapted to detect a position of the target element. As an alternative to magnetic sensing, MEMS flow sensors, and the like may also be used. Exemplary systems preferably transmit dose information in real time to remote devices for further processing,

A liquid dosing device for dispensing a metered dose of liquid from a squeezable container, comprising an outlet passage leading to a discharge opening; a dosing chamber positioned behind said discharge opening and having at least one entrance opening allowing a charging flow of liquid from said container into said dosing chamber under the influence of weight of liquid, and a drive opening allowing a control flow of liquid from said container into said dosing chamber in response on a rise of pressure of liquid in the squeezable container; a floating plunger movably arranged in the dosing chamber so as to advance upon said rise of pressure from a rest position in which under the influence of a lifting force of buoyancy said floating plunger closes said drive opening, into a blocking position in which said floating plunger blocks said outlet passage, wherein said floating plunger when advancing into said blocking position, pushes said liquid charged into said dosing chamber, to said outlet passage; a stop seat upon which said floating plunger acts in its blocking position, and a sealing lip for closing said outlet passage, being arranged such that a seat-sided portion of the floating plunger or a plunger-sided portion of the stop seat and said sealing lip is formed, particularly injection-mold, of one single piece of the same plastic material.

A dispensing device for dispensing a defined volume of a liquid from a closed container includes a housing and a spring loaded piston disposed therein. The housing has a holding chamber that includes chamber snap fit elements on the chamber wall, piston stop(s), and a bottom having a central opening with a tubular member extending therefrom. The spring loaded piston includes a push cap including snap fit arms extending from underside of a top pusher and a spring around a piston rod under the top pusher. The device is so configured that engagement modes between arm snap fit elements of the push cap and chamber snap fit elements of the holding chamber control a venting position and an injection starting position of the spring loaded piston, and abutment of the push cap with the piston stop(s) in the holding chamber controls an injection ending position of the spring loaded piston.

A dispensing device is disclosed which provides for dispensing multiple doses in amounts determined by a movable collar attached to a plunger shaft.
