A cartridge assembly includes a cartridge and a sleeve, the cartridge having a solid head part and a cartridge wall formed by a film integrally formed with the head part, the cartridge being received in the sleeve.

Air purge device for an airless liquid product dispenser having a container equipped with means for sampling the product. The device has a bleed ring that has a deformable lip seal accommodated inside a protective part designed to be inserted into the container. The deformation of the lip when mounting the air purge device in the container causes the air to be purged from the container.

A device for dispensing a product includes: a module including a head and a reservoir, the head including a conduit connecting the inside of the reservoir to an outlet of the head; and a housing having at least two mutually movable parts including an upper part and a lower part, the at least two parts being arranged to be assembled so as to receive the module inside the housing.

The invention relates a metering device for fluids from a containment volume. The metering device is a means to dispense metered volumes of fluids such as detergents, medicaments, lotions and the like. The invention further provides a container for fluid material to be dispensed in metered doses.

A dispenser for discharging a pharmaceutical or cosmetic medium having a discharge head with a discharge opening, a container for storing the medium prior to discharge, an elastically deformable outer container, and a dimensionally flexible inner container arranged in an interior of the outer container. A ventilation channel is provided, through which the interior of the outer container is connected to an environment for pressure compensation by compensating air. The ventilation channel is delimited in at least some regions by a self-adhesive label, or the ventilation channel has a self-adhesive label and has a gas-permeable surface portion. The gas-permeable surface portion is arranged in the ventilation channel or on one of the ends of the ventilation channel, such that the air passing through the ventilation channel also passes through the gas-permeable surface portion.

A squeeze container (10) that includes a container body (13) including squeezable/deformable press-deforming portions (27), and that discharges a content contained in an inner bag (11) inside the outer container (13) by squeezing (pressing) the press-deforming portions (27). The outer container (13) has a tubular body portion (12) including: the press-deforming portions (27); and longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions (13e) molded integrally with the press-deforming portions (27). A pair of longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions (13e) is provided, the longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions extending in a longitudinal direction at respective two locations opposing one another in a radial direction of the tubular body portion (12). A pair of press-deforming portions (27) is provided, the press-deforming portions being arranged in respective sections between the pair of longitudinal-direction reinforcing portions (13e) so as to oppose one another, and each preferably having an arcuate cross-sectional shape so as to form the overall circular hollow cross-sectional shape of the outer container (13).

Provided is a double container which comprises a relatively rigid outer container and a flexible inner container disposed inside the outer container and capacity-variable in response to an amount of a content thereof The double container is configured to contain, particularly, a high-viscosity liquid, e.g., a liquid having a viscosity of 1000 to 100,000 mPa/s, and to be easily produced by a forming technique having no significant difference from conventional techniques, wherein the double container for a high-viscosity liquid is capable of containing the content without causing oxidation thereof, while maintaining the outer container in its original shape or dimensions, and discharging the content by squeezing the outer container, irrespective of a level of a remaining amount of the content.

A dispenser actuator assembly (100) actuates a dispenser (10). The dispenser (10) is a plastic ampoule (10) having a container (48) having an outer wall (50) and membrane (52) collectively defining a first chamber (54) containing a flowable material (M). The membrane (52) has a weld seam (56). The actuator assembly (100) has a base member (102) configured to mount on the container (48). A fracturing mechanism (116) is operably connected to the base member (102). The fracturing mechanism (116) has a first extending member (132a) and a second extending member (132b), the first extending member (132a) and the second extending member (132b) positioned on the base member (102) in opposed relation. Each extending member (132a,132b) has a projection (150a,150b) positioned proximate the membrane (52). In response to deflection of the extending members (132a,132b) towards one another, the projections (150a,150b) are configured to deflect the outer wall (50) proximate the membrane (52) wherein the weld seam (56) fractures to create an opening through the membrane (56) to allow the flowable material (M) to pass therethrough.

A pressurized container usable for a pressurizable contain, such as an aerosol dispenser, an aerosol dispenser made therewith and preform therefor. The preform/container/dispenser has a neck at the top. The neck has upper and lower portions. The lower portion transitions into a shoulder, which flares outwardly. The shoulder, in turn, transitions into a sidewall. The lower neck portion/shoulder and/or upper part of the sidewall are cystallized. The invention also comprises a preform for making such a pressurizable container and an aerosol dispenser made therewith.

Methods, apparatuses and systems are disclosed including a method of filling a container with substantially only a liquid. The method can include the removal of a gas from the container prior to, during or after the filling of the container with the liquid. According to one embodiment, the container includes an inner liner and a lid. The method includes providing a volume defined by at least the inner liner and the lid of the container. In such embodiment, the liquid can initially be contained within a first portion of the volume and a remaining portion of the volume can contain a gas. The method can include removing substantially all the gas from the volume via one or more ports that communicate with the volume while retaining substantially only the liquid within the volume.
