The present invention relates to an airless cosmetic container capable of discharging cosmetic product content in various patterns, and more particularly, an airless cosmetic container for enabling a user to select a cosmetic product content inside two storage containers provided inside a cosmetic container body and discharge content from only one container, or for allowing dispersed discharge through discharge holes from a mixing member when two types of cosmetic product contents are discharged simultaneously, thereby allowing the user to apply makeup with a single push. The discharge holes formed through the mixing member may be formed into various patterns to allow the cosmetic product content, to be discharged into various patterns, thereby providing aesthetic impression to consumers.

In a mixing structure with an injector 3 arranged 2 immediately after a bend 1a of an exhaust pipe 1, urea water 5 being injected by the injector 3 into the exhaust pipe 1 for mixing, a pipe diameter D.sub.p downstream of the bend 1a of the exhaust pipe 1 is large relative to a pipe diameter D.sub.e upstream of the bend.

Systems, devices and methods are provided for producing a product comprising a filter media, such as a gas or liquid filter. A system comprises a feeder for advancing a substrate comprising fibers from an upstream end to a downstream end and a dispersion device for dispersing nanoparticles into the substrate as the substrate is advanced by the feeder to form the filter media. The system further comprises a container for receiving clusters of nanoparticles and a feed system for conveying the clusters of nanoparticles from the container to the dispersion device. The feed system is particularly useful for introducing nanoparticles into a continuous manufacturing process at a controlled flow rate. The system both conveys and elevates the nanoparticles and allows for the manufacture of filter media with improved quality and yield and reduced cost and time. In addition, the system is scalable and produces filter media with less variation.

A dispersing device (1) has a dispersing tool (3), which has a shaft tube (2), and a drive (4). A dispersing rotor is provided at the free shaft tube (2) end (5) remote from the drive (4), the dispersing rotor being connected to the drive (4) via a shaft which can be coupled to the drive (4) and which is arranged within the shaft tube (2). In order to monitor the temperature of the medium to be dispersed, a temperature sensor (7) with a corresponding electric input and output line (8) is provided on the shaft tube (2), which is stationary relative to the dispersing rotor and the rotatable shaft, the input and output lines (8) connecting the temperature sensor (7) to the drive (4) and/or analyzing electronics and/or a control or regulating device.

There is provided an apparatus and a method for producing a play compound and the play compound itself which, in one embodiment is a compound which sufficiently fluid to be pliable and is typically cold and slimy to the touch. The apparatus and a method provide a powder and liquid to a user, which can be a non-skilled person and thereby allow the mixing of the powder and liquid together by that person to form the play compound outside of a factory environment whilst ensuring that the play compound which is formed has the desired characteristics. Most typically the user which performs the mixing can be the end user, such as a child, who will play with the compound and so the formation of the play compound forms a new part of the play experience.

A blender system may include a blender assembly, the blender assembly including a blender tub, the blender tub having a mixing chamber and an open top. The blender assembly may also include one or more paddles, the paddles positioned within the mixing chamber and a tub paddle motor, the tub paddle motor adapted to rotatably drive the one or more paddles. The blender assembly may also include an upper lip, the upper lip positioned within the blender tub and a shroud, the shroud extending from the upper lip. In addition, the blender system may include a flow surface, the flow surface positioned below the shroud forming a flow channel between the shroud and the flow surface.
