Among other things, a dispenser for dispensing material is provided herein. The dispenser includes a cover. The dispenser is configured to receive a container from which material is dispensed. The container is adapted to be supported by the cover. Biasing structure is adapted to apply a force to the container to facilitate dispensing the material from the container.

A packaging unit (100) includes an outer container (104) and an inner container (102) disposed inside the outer container. The outer container has a bottom portion (150) and a sidewall (152) extending upwardly from the bottom portion around a longitudinal axis (154). The sidewall has an upper edge (160) defining an access opening (162) to the container. Further, the inner container includes a bottom section (130) having a plurality of openings (140) that facilitate an egress of liquid from the inner container. Furthermore, the bottom portion is adapted to be displaced between a first position and a second position. Also, the inner container moves upwardly towards the access opening in response to a displacement of the bottom portion from the first position to the second position.

A device for storing and dispensing a flowable dental composition, comprising: a first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer and second layer form a first chamber for containing a flowable dental composition, a transition zone, and a second chamber; an applicator retained within the second chamber; wherein the first chamber has a first concave surface formed in the first layer and a second concave surface formed in the second layer; wherein the device includes an inactive state and an active state.

A device (10) for packaging and dispensing a product comprises a container (12), a moveable piston (16) mounted inside the container (12) and delimiting one compartment (22) containing the product, and a dispensing member (14) mounted on the container (12) and comprising at least one outlet orifice (24) in communication with the compartment (22). The device (10) further comprises a pump system (18) mounted on the container (12) axially on the side opposite to the dispensing member (14) and comprising a push-button (28). Said pump system (18) is configured so that exerting a pressure on the push-button (28) results in a forward displacement of the piston (16) inside the container (12) towards the dispensing member (14) and subsequent releasing of said push-button (28) results in a backward displacement of said piston (16) away from said dispensing member (14).

A replaceable jar package includes a push-to-release button, an inner jar sized to fit within the outer jar, the outer jar having a threaded opening at its top and having an opening at its bottom, and having a pair stubs for holding the push-to-release button within the opening at the bottom of the outer jar. The outer jar cooperates with the inner jar to form a snap feature. The inner jar is secured to the outer jar when the snap feature is engaged. The inner jar can be removed from the outer jar when the snap feature becomes disengaged. The snap feature is disengaged by the push-to-release button moving in a direction from the bottom of the outer jar toward a top of the outer jar such that the push-to-release button moves the inner jar relative to the outer jar.

A fluid dispenser having a reservoir (R) containing fluid (P) and air (A), the reservoir (R) forming an assembly opening (11); a fluid dispenser cannula (12) in communication with the reservoir (R); and an actuator member (2) engaged in the assembly opening (11), for supplying the dispenser cannula (13) with fluid (P). The actuator member (2) has a deformable membrane (23) that defines an outside face (231) forming a pusher (24), and an inside face (232) that is in contact with the air (A) of the reservoir (R), when the dispenser cannula (12) is in contact with the fluid (P) of the reservoir (R).

There is described an apparatus for dispensing a food product from a container loaded into the apparatus. The apparatus comprises a first sensor for sensing electrically conductive material, wherein the first sensor is arranged to sense whether a first section of electrically conductive material has been removed from covering an aperture in the container to enable the food product to be dispensed by the apparatus through the aperture.

A discharge device for discharging a liquid content in a tube container in a droplet form, in which a tube main body; a tube head including an integrated discharge rod; a regulating unit provided in an assembly space of the tube head; and a valve unit are sequentially assembled, so that a uniform amount of the liquid content is discharged in the droplet form through a narrow passage and a wide passage, and then through the wide passage and a narrow passage when the liquid content is discharged in the droplet form in a process of discharging the liquid content through a discharge passage by a pressure applied by a user. Accordingly, an appropriate amount of the liquid content is smoothly used. Particularly, long-term use of the liquid content is ensured, and the uniform amount of the liquid content is accurately discharged in the droplet form.

A dispensing mechanism dispenses even doses of a substance, and comprises a base, a leverable surface, a stepper mechanism; and a space for an application substance. The levered surface is hinged at one end or is collapsible and is pressed downwards towards the base to squeeze the space to force the substance out of the cartridge. The stepper mechanism is located at the far end of the leverable surface to halt pressing at intervals corresponding to even doses of the substance. A carrier for a cartridge incorporating the dispensing mechanism comprises a housing which may be pressed to squeeze the cartridge and dispense the substance, an insertion opening through which the dispensing cartridge is inserted and a dispensing opening which lines up with a spout on the cartridge and through which the liquid is dispensed. The carrier may be attached to the wrist or to bicycle handlebars and the like.

Pet owners cannot tactilely examine, or experience food contained in rigid packaging. This product experience at the point of purchase requires pliable or flexible packaging. However, pliable or flexible packaging has limited ability to stack, both on the store shelf, as well as in the pet owner's pantry. Provided is a multi-functional container for moist or wet, textured food. The container has rigid sidewalls, a bottom with at least a portion made from a flexible or pliable material or membrane or that provides access to a bag of a flexible or pliable material or membrane, and a lid to seal the opening of the container or the bag. Since the food contacts the flexible or pliable material or membrane, it can be tactilely examined at the point of purchase. If the material or membrane is transparent, the food can also be visibly examined at the point of purchase.
