A dispenser includes a body defining an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body. A first tubular member extends through the opening. A length of the first tubular member is greater than or equal to about 150% of a height of the body. In response to squeezing the body, a composition in the internal volume flows out of the body through the opening and into the first tubular member.

A tube or other container for storing and dispensing a product such as toothpaste, a lotion, a cream, etc., includes one or more recesses. Initially, each recess (30) is in a concave position relative to an exterior of the sealed tube. Due to outgassing or other factors, pressure within an interior of the sealed tube may increase. During the pressure increase, the one or more recesses (30) deflect from the initial concave position toward a convex position relative to the exterior of the tube, thereby effectively increasing a volume of the interior of the tube and maintaining pressure within the tube at a more desirable level.

A manually operated demand delivery liquid pump dispensing device, includes: a container (2) to be filled with a storage (20) of the liquid to be dispensed and with air inside the container, said container comprising a bottom part (6), a top part (5), and a side wall (7) between said bottom part and said top part, and a lid (3) which seals an opening (4) in the top part of the container, usable for filling the container, said lid being provided on the upper side thereof with a shallow basin (15), including, in the centre thereof, a concave dish-shaped cavity (21) and a discharge opening in the region of said dish-shaped cavity of the lid, and with a tube (22) for supplying liquid to said concave dish-shaped cavity from said storage of liquid which may be contained in the container. Said tube has an exterior top section (22a) extending upwards from the bottom of said concave dish-shaped cavity (21), and an interior section (22b) extending downwards from said top section into the storage of the liquid which may be contained in the container.

A portable sanitizer dispenser for use with a cellular phone includes a hand sanitizer dispenser configured to releasably engage at least one surface of a cellular phone. The sanitizer dispenser includes a compressible cavity defined therein configured to retain a sanitizer therein. The sanitizer dispenser further includes a nozzle disposed on an outer surface thereof. The nozzle is in fluid communication with the compressible cavity such that when pressure is applied to the compressible cavity, sanitizer is expelled from the nozzle.

A device for and method of using the device to dispense pourable material from one or more pouches is provided. The device comprises a pair of hinged plates between which one or more pouches can be positioned. The plates of the device are joined by a ratcheting element that secure the plates and any pouches positioned between them. When a squeezing force is applied to the plates, the plates exert pressure upon the one or more pouches to cause the contents of the pouch(es) to be expelled. The ratcheting element is adapted to adjust automatically in response to the force exerted upon the plates. A device adapted to heat and dispense the contents of the one or more pouches is also provided.

A pouch for liquid bathing products suitable for dispensing liquid bathing products and directing the products upward, where the pouch is made of flexible and non-resilient or low-resilience materials, has bilateral symmetry, a shoulder, a base, a two sides, with a gripping portion, and a nozzle approximately centered on the shoulder to dispense the liquid bathing product; the base is sufficiently flat to rest on a flat surface and allow the pouch to stand up-right, and the nozzle is perpendicular to the base.

A controlled dentifrice dispensing device may include a reservoir configured to hold a volume of dentifrice. A pump may be configured to withdraw dentifrice from the reservoir when the pump is engaged by an actuator. The pump may be engaged by the actuator when the actuator is pressed towards the reservoir. The distance that the actuator is able to be pressed towards the reservoir may be controlled by one or more metering channels that may extend longitudinally towards the reservoir that may interact, directly or indirectly, with the actuator. When the actuator interacts with a relatively longer metering channel, the actuator may engage the pump to a greater degree than when the actuator interacts with a relatively shorter metering channel, thereby allowing the pump to withdraw a greater amount of dentifrice from the reservoir and to dispense the greater amount of dentifrice from the actuator, preferably onto a user's toothbrush.
