Measured dose dispensers and methods of using the same
A dispensing closure for dispensing a flowable product from a squeeze-type product container includes a closure body having an upper deck, an exit orifice, a flow conduit providing a flow path to the exit orifice, and a skirt configured to attach to a product container. A measuring reservoir is received in engagement with a lower surface of the upper deck. The measuring reservoir is filled with a measured dose of flowable product through flow ports when the container is inverted. A piston valve is slidably movable within the measuring reservoir between an open position and a closed position. The piston valve is movable from the open position to the closed position to dispense the measured dose of product responsive to pressure within the container induced by squeezing normally biases the piston valve to the open position.
Variable Metered Dose Closure
A container comprises: a body having an interior; and a closure. The closure has: a closure main body carried by the body; a stem within the closure main body and having a passageway in communication with the body interior and a port from the passageway; and a platform within the closure main body radially between the stem and the closure main body and adjustable between a lowered position and a raised position.
FLUID PRODUCT DISPENSER
A fluid product dispenser comprising a tank and a metering device mounted on the tank, the metering device having a chamber defining an inlet, an abutment, an outlet and a sealing seat, the abutment separated from the sealing seat by a stroke distance; a valve movable inside the chamber over the stroke defined between a rest position, in which the valve is biased by a return force towards the abutment, and an end position, in which the valve is selectively urged onto the sealing seat against the return force by the fluid flowing in the chamber from the inlet to the outlet; and a mechanism for adjusting the stroke of the valve capable of adjusting the stroke distance separating the abutment from the sealing seat. The adjustment mechanism is located in the fluid tank, so that they are inaccessible and cannot be actuated from outside the fluid product dispenser.
ADJUSTABLE ROTARY CUP
An adjustable measured fluid dispenser is provided for dispensing a fluid from a storage container. The adjustable measured fluid dispenser includes a measurement cap having a fillable chamber. The fillable chamber has an adjustable maximum retainable volume. The maximum retainable volume is adjusted by changing an axial position of the measurement cap relative to a stopper positioned within a neck of the storage container. The axial position of the measurement cap is changed by rotating the measurement cap, which open and closes a fluid passage between the fillable volume and the liquid in the storage container.
Dosing bottle arrangement and methods
A dosing bottle has a container; a riser; a cap piece; a standpipe connected to the riser and one or more return openings in a tubular wall of the standpipe; and a closure member. The closure member is rotatably attached to the cap piece and defines an interior dosing volume and a dispenser opening. The closure member is axially movable relative to the cap piece between a closed position and an open position. The open position allows a liquid in the interior volume of the container to flow through the riser and through the return opening and into the interior dosing volume.
MEASURED FLUID DISPENSER
An adjustable measured fluid dispenser is provided for dispensing a fluid from a storage container. The adjustable measured fluid dispenser includes a measurement cap having multiple divided fillable volumes with different volumes, a tube, and a redirecting cap. The redirecting cap includes a redirecting structure for directing fluid received from the storage container via the tube into one of the fillable volumes. The redirecting cap is positionable relative to the measurement cap, such that the redirecting cap may be used to select one of the fillable volumes and to direct fluid from the tube into the selected volume.
